a very conspiratorial little gaggle of French players hid behind the goal there

 

[Lord Camomile]

"We are peeeeeeesed ohfff".

I'm loving this game! France have been shocking.

sharpening the guillotine and readying the basket...

It's like watching England in every WC since 1990, and - tbf - mostly before then as well.

I think he needs to grow his tache again. Might liven him up a bit.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Yeah!

Go Mexico!

[Shreddy]

[nicksonic]

Not really - a truly bad French team (at any sport) is something unique to behold. Not only do you have the rubbish play, but you also have the massively misplaced arrogance of the "top" players causing them to row amongst themselves, as well as the obvious delight it causes in everyone who isnt French.

"Something's wrong" - no fucking shit!

not really - a bad England team is only really greeted with delight in the UK and Australia. A bad French team amuses the world.

WHat manager at any level fails to bring strikers on to win a game when you're 1-0 and 2-0 down and running out of time.

Cisse and Henry on the bench yet...nothing....what a mystery.

From the Guardian's mbm:

90+1 min: Domenech is still leaning against the dug-out, while all his subs are congregated down behind one goal. He hasn't said a word since the second goal went in, probably because he knows there's no point because his players wouldn't listen to him even if he did.

He is to blame for a lot of what has happened, but the players are responsible for a lot more. They have been an utter disgrace.

What was that French bloke filming, his teams abject failure

 

[TrippyLondoner]

heighway, lawrenson, rush, aldridge, mcdermott, souness, smith etc.

i know!

 

[fen_boy]

France looked like they didn't care whether they went out or not.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I still don't quite understand how Domenech is still in the job

Yeah, got ya. It was a joke.

Nevermind.

Wasn't there gossip that they - French FA or whoever - wanted rid of him? I think they'll have their wish now!

I wondered that too!

It's going to turn up in black and white somewhere with a stark piano soundtrack.
