Considering the tackles that the ref allowed the Koreans to get away with in the first half....no.
I mean twice Adebayor had his back to a defender before I left the house in the 22nd minute of the game and the defender came through him to get to the ball and no call. If players think you are allowing calls like that the game will be played as such but to my SUPRISE only Togo were called for those.
I saw the same thing in the trini game that Aston Villa Full back was in Stern John's shirt all game yet if a Trini player touched a Sweden player the same way he was called. Costa Rica Germany was badly called, even the Ecuador game was called badly against them and they won.
Apparently this cup the darker your overall team makeup the more biased the ref is against you.......In the past cups you had one or two but they have gotten ridiculous this cup with the calling.........

So monsieur Domenech, how do you take a talented group of players and turn them into mediocre journeymen?

same old story...i really prayed for a change but still the same old story

two problems...Vieira and the coach...Domenech wants an offensive team to play defensive. I always ask myself why Vieira is playing in the french national team, he is always useless and i'v actually never seen him running in his whole career in the national team. I hope that they score at least one goal in the tournament..i wonder how they wanna do it?

Why did he let Wiltord play? wiltord shouldn't be anything else but a joker, he cannot dribble..and then he puts Saha on the pitch and let's him play as a left midfielder....holy shit...and takes off Ribery as well...

That was a rubbish game... I'm going back to being a football widow.
ps--- I had to blink because 80% of France's team is African...

You better ask him...the whole nation is waiting for the answer..why,why, why?But he wanted to nominate Guily after the Cissé accident but Guily just told Mr Domenech to**** off

Zidane can only play 90 minutes with someone like Ribery or Guily playing next to him...So why didn't he let Ribery on the pitch?
|
Quote:

i mean...now he wants to play with three forwards and changes his tactics all over again after all the testing and qualification games. If you wanna play with three forwards you should put Trez in the middle. Henry plays differently. When it comes to dribblings, Guily is the best.

Domenech is just an idiot who ruins the team.

Another thing...it's not a black thing and as much as i love to see all these blacks playing for France, some of them don't deserve to be in the first team...someone like Abidal should be on the bench..Reveillere is the best french left back...Gallas should be on the bench as well. Mexes is much better(of course not nominated)...Vieria must be on the bench in the next match...i'd rather see Dhorasoo next to Maka..

i think with the increase in teams from africa and caribbean being included in thecompetition (debutantes this year include T&T, Togo, Ghana dunno if there are more)you will see more of this.african playersfrom one country already have been called 'undisciplined' compared toeuropeans by one of their own (white) managers i believe so when you put those kinds of viewstogether with the common 'more aggressive' stereotype black people are universally tagged with - well expect more of the same bias.

Mexes better than Gallas? LOL like hell he is!

I'm with Drunk Gallas is one of France best players, what about Gallas and Mexes in the middle? I saw Ribery against China when he came from the bench to change the game, perhaps he should have started from the bench in todays game, sort of like a secret weapon? I also think the presence of Zidane is killing Henry's game, I think he needs younger legs in support.
