geo1873 0 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 whats everyone's verdict on that then? france were alright, but imploded for some reason, dont seem to be playing fully as a team still! wtf was barthez trying to do when he tried to throw the ball out and thru it sideways best decision we've made is swervin this cunt! have to say though the end result wudnt have come about had veira's goal been given. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 France were vastly improved on their first match, but seemed to think they had the game won and took their foot off the peddle in the second half, and can only blame themselves. If they go out, this world cup won't miss them. They're a bunching of aging stars who just aren't as good as their reputations anymore. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will still go through though and live to fight another day. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I think they will sneak through on goal difference then after that who knows they could burst into life. I read a good article yesterday that the world cup can be like 2 tournaments - the group stages then the knockouts. When the knockouts start its like a cup final and a different game altogether. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I thought France were decent and deserved to win. That wee Malouda guy looks a good player. They'll go through - JUST! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
