At last the definitive proof the ball was at fault

[naut]

Ok. Now don't score Argies/Korea and we will all (well almost all) get 3 points.

[Joooray]

Well missed some secure points, but what can you do.

Anyway for the other games:
0 - 3
1 - 1

HAND BALL WORKS ONLY ONCE. GO HOME LES BLEUS.

AAAAAAZTECAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !

Edit: I want printscreens of Platini's and Sarkozy's faces right now. Lucrative pay.

[gaelic cowboy]

Being serious for a moment they were baaaad tonight anelka, ribery etc etc none of them impressed they just did not get stuck in.

[drone]

As much as it pains me to say it: Bravo, El Tri! for a job well done.

Comment from the ESPN Gamecast:

There's no team in the world that gets so little out of so much talent as France does.

[gaelic cowboy]

It's almost like they just gave a Gallic Shrug and decided they did not want to die for the likes of Domenech.

I don't think you're up to speed with common sentiment. You're not seriously expecting devatsted, shocked faces?



It's relief mate, relief. It's over, at last.



The French FA thinks it indecent to sack a coach. Alas, perhaps they should have.

The face of domenech tonight was unbearable. Such complete resignation, to the loss, and to the end of his reign. One wonders what the point of all of this has been.

Wenger, Zidane, Vieira - all have launched scathing attacks in the past few weeks, perfectly describing everything that's wrong with the team at the moment. It's been obvious from the beginning that this was going to be a lost tournament, an exercise in pointlessness.


Tragedy, in the original Greek meaning, is a play were everbody in the audience is aware from the beginning the ending will be disastrous. It is about watching the impending and inevitable doom unfold. This is what this tournament is about. It is like watching the movie Titanic. You know it's going to sink before the end, even the exact manner is known. The spectacle, the very tragedy of it, is to watch it slowly unfold.

[Tellos Athenaios]

All the same: good for Mexico. For their part it might just have been the best game of the group.

[gaelic cowboy]

As I watched it you could see Domenech leaning against the dugout he didnt seem bothered to me.


Serious questions have to be asked about Ribery he is not worth his place for what he is expected to do.

Mexico were probably fortunate to get the first goal they had possibility of offside there, but the second was pure laziness on the part of frenchmen his name escapes me now, stupid the tackle to give away penalty twas silly.

We still have serious problems with our attackers. They still miss clear shots. And for some reason, our TD keeps on aligning Franco, who is just too old and slow for the job...

[Afonso I of Portugal]

Unfortunately, France is almost out of the tournament, but don't worry Louis, we will be following you next monday...

[Louis VI the Fat]

Mexico and Uruguay will both progress if it's a draw between them in the next game.

I don't think anybody needs to have any illusions about what will happen. So much then for this tournament. Pity for South Africa too.


And to think my darling, Gourcuff, who's isolated in the team, didn't even get to make an appearance tonight. Such a skilled player.

As earl Jay Hickey would say "Aint karma funny"

I can not begin to descibe the embarrasment I felt when thinking about eleven Irish guys fighting for all they're worth tonight.

HAND BALL WORKS ONLY ONCE. GO HOME LES BLEUS.

Yeah yeah. Alternatively, you could use the excited tone to write the Turkish FA and demand it changes its policy of disallowing gays in Turkish football.

Oops, nearly forgot: Congratulations!

Mexico has a good team. As far as I'm concerned, I didn't see too many problems with the forwards, nor with the team in general. Quite sturdy. It all works, if perhaps a few last bits of lethal efficiency are still lacking. Best of luck in the rest of tournament!

(Do try to make it a real game against Uruguay)

[gaelic cowboy]

Is that it for Domenech so I mean is there the possibility he could survive or is he defo gone

[||Lz3||]

Merci.

I really hope Mexico beats Uruguay. If they just draw, Uruguay would get the upper hand and go on on first, thus leaving Argentina to us. That would be something not really pleasant. It's still yet to be seen if Mexico risks 2nd place for a possible 1st, avoiding Argentina in the process.

[Pannonian]

Les Bleus lose to a team in green shirts and white shorts... Where was Henry?

It would not surprise me if they go for the win. France/South Africa will need to overcome a big goal differential deficit to pass either Mexico or Uruguay, and neither of those two want to end up facing the Argies. Worth the risk.

Lol just seen this on Facebook

Kayne West says it best

[Joooray]

Wohoo, no points for me today.

Can't wait for the game tomorrow!

3 - 1
1 - 2
3 - 0

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

What's up with les bleus? They seemed as if they did not really want to take part in that tournament. Or has Domenech some internal quarrel with his federation and decided to do nothing to win it? The French inability was really shocking, there must be a reason for this??

Anyway, next predictions:

2 - 0

1 - 1

2 - 0

[Marshal Murat]

2 - 1
0 - 2
1 - 1
