france vs south africa

[frogwoman]

Come on South Africa - two more! Just two more!

 

[quimcunx]

.... and wondering who they have to surrender to.

I'm available.

 

[twistedAM]

yes it really does depend who you want to go through

Mexico are great to watch though they haven't got a goal scorer. Uruguay look mean. No goals conceded yet in this tournament and only one sending off.

0-1 still in other game 79 mins in

Come on South Africa - two more! Just two more!

They need 3 more.

[Ted Striker]

That's the first goal France have scored in a non-european WC Finals since 1986

Or something

 

[George350r]

Mr ESPN Commentator Le Bleu isn’t the Hot Favorites to win the cup from start...

 

[nicksonic]

well done france, undoubtedly the most pathetic excuse for a 'team' ever to qualify for a world cup.

 

[George350r]

0-1 Final in the other game

Both teams qualify

 

[frogwoman]

 

[George350r]

Bye Bye France

Bye Bye South Africa

 

[Gingerman]

First host nation not to make it through to the 2nd round in the WC finals

 

[nicksonic]

Bye Bye France

Bye Bye South Africa

good riddance france.

 

[nicksonic]

domenech now having a heated debate with parreira

 

[agricola]

Best two teams in the group go through, shame for South Africa.

Should have given it to Egypt.

Yep.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

what goes around comes around...henry's hand comes back to haunt the french.

 

[frogwoman]

Mexico deserved to go through tbf.

 

[butchersapron]

domenech heaping the shame on now - what a pathetic child.

 

[agricola]

With his antics at the end Domenech has managed to make himself look even more of a cunt than he did previously - this is one of the greatest achievements that an individual human being has managed to achieve. Either that or he is mentally ill.

What the fuck is wrong with him?
FFS - Refusing to shake Parreira's hand

 

[agricola]

From L'Equipe's minute by minute coverage:

Humiliée et pathétique, la France termine dernière de son groupe et achève le Mondial sur un match une nouvelle fois catastrophique.

 

[Gingerman]

what goes around comes around...henry's hand comes back to haunt the french.

Wonder do the French think it was worth all the criticism in the end,cheated their way to the finals only to become a laughing stock,at least Ireland woulda given their all,I kinda feel sorry for Domenech,how much public humiliation can anyone endure?

 

[agricola]

I kinda feel sorry for Domenech,how much public humiliation can anyone endure?

I worry about him too - his behaviour since the World Cup started has become bizarre, first the subs running off against Mexico, then him standing staring out into space during all the second half, then the insanity of him reading out a statement from the players attacking himself, then his own press conference at which he tried to justify it, and finally his antics at the end of today's game.

Given that he will be the scapegoat (both for the FFF and the players, and therefore for the nation as a whole) for this I would not be at all surprised if he had a breakdown, or worse.

Can't say I'm all that bothered. Found the histrionics surrounding the handball laughable, can't see the team being any more of a laughing stock than 2002, and certainly don't think they will be anymore of a laughing stock than England should they fail to qualify tomorrow.

Ultimately, France were never going to perform well - the myriad problems around management, selection etc saw to that. New manager, new set-up etc coming in now. Onwards and upwards.

Is he going to go postal with a sawn off vuvuzela?

 

[TruXta]

Yeah, tuned to an A instead of B! That'll show them.

 

[ericjarvis]

They're going home, they're going home,
They're going, the French are going home...

Downhill all the way through the rest of the week most likely, but at least I can smile for today.
