MauberleyNot got much to say about it but this seems to be about as good as France can do this time.
The central defensive pairing is a big issue. I would go with Gallas and Squillaci, but it all depends of course on whether Gemini is above or below Orion and Nasri not hitting on Domenech's mum.

MauberleyHenry would naturally drift a little to the left of centre by inclination so picture him a wee bit more to the left, buggered up the graphic a bit there. The reason I would never pick him and Benzema together is that they both insist on pulling to the left.
Ribery is of course a bit more tucked in than Malouda and a bit further forward.

nvrHow about Saha leading the attack and Henry playing where Malouda is? I guess it's better to have a natural striker in the box.
Nasri as a defensive mid is a bit rich too.

Robert O'Carloswill be off to south africa but will be going under a black cloud after henry's blatant cheating in the play off
hard to take when a team is denied their chance of a world cup place by a maradona wannabe

GeorgieWasTheBestL'Equipe, the French sports paper, called the goal "Hand of God". At least their press is decent.

ZolaI am curious, will Platini be still talking about giving a chance to lesser teams?
I guess he'd use this to push his 6 ref thing.

nvrIt's said Ireland go out such a way. But Irish defense minister's suggestion of a replay is truly ridiciilous. Politicians...

liver4everribery should be left wing.

stephenrocksyeah, I agree with liver4ever, Ribery on the left. That probably means Malouda is out, perhaps Anelka should come in and play somewhere on the right. He's been on decent form of late.
Lassa should be in as well. I liked Flamini at Arsenal, but he has hardly played a good game since. Not really his fault but unless he plays regularly he shouldn't be in.

discovolanteClichy ahead of Evra, are you mad? Clichy has been so mediocre for the last 18 months, it's unbelievable.
