Theres a lot of weak teams making the playoffs this time out.
 
Who are the weak teams ?

Ireland - who England can't beat.

Bosnia - who have the second best striker in Europe playing for them.

Slovenia - fair enough.

[/quote]If i was ireland i wouldnt fear any of them bar France and Russia. Sweden, Greece and Croatia are shadows of the teams of a few years back.
 
Yeah but we're shit.

There's rumours of a bit of a rift in the French camp. Henry and Domenech had an argument in the dressing room at the last game or something.
 
Poland were absolutely dreadful tonight, including the Dortmund player we've been linked with several times.
 
I'm surprised Domanech is still in a job, particularly after how crap they were in the Euros. What does this man have over the French FA?

Any team is going to miss a player like Zidane when he retires, but he's left plenty of quality players behind...

LOL how worse could he have done by proposing to his girlfriend on the day France were dumped out of the Euros last time!
 
It's the most puzzling thing in World Football.

The French FA even reiterated that he's safe in the job after the row with Henry.

Maybe he has done a J. Edgar Hoover and acquired naked pictures of all the people that could sack him.

You're not kidding. On paper, I'd say the French squad is probably the strongest in world football. But there's obviously a problem there, and has been since they won Euro 2000. Apart from their Zidane-inspired performance in 2006, they've underperformed massively since then. If they get to the WC, though, I'd still put them among the favourites to win it.
