Uruguay V France

[RaverDrew]

Personally I think Domenach's France are awful, and will struggle to get through to the knock-outs.

Post your thoughts and predictions here.

For me 2-1 to Uruguay

 

[kyser_soze]

It was really interesting (attempting) to read the press coverage of the result of the China friendly in France - seeing that their press as equally viscious and intolerant of defeat in football was fun!

I agree with the dire team, but I reckon a 1-1 draw.

 

[Teaboy]

1-0 Uruguay.

Domenach appears to be a mentalist who selects his side on their star signs. Also reports that the squad is deeply divided possibly down racial lines.

 

[nicksonic]

my prediction is that france won't win.

 

[kained&able]

I reckon france will win, just. Who have uruguay got that is any good?

I saw the deciding match in the South American qualifiers between Argentina and Uruguay. It was one of the worst games of football I've ever seen.

France are a poor reflection of the excellent team of the late nineties-early noughties.

0-0 draw.

I suspect this will be,
A violent match.
(At least two red cards.)

Nah, France are famous for playing fair

You never know - Henry might have his World Cup ended prematurely by a broken wrist / hand?

Seriously though, part of me does hope the french get cheated out of the world cup.

Heart says France, head says tedious 0-0 draw or something equally bad (or worse).

Your hear a lot about France's attack (Gourcuff, Benzema, Ribery, Henry), but what's their defence like? I don't expect anything like the 1998 vintage (best back four ever?), but good tournament teams tend to be built on the foundations of a solid defence.

Evra and Gallas to name two.

 

[Gingerman]

France were'nt all that great in the last finals but somehow they still made the final and who knows if Zidane had'nt lost his head they mighta won it,how the fuck is Domenach still manager fuck knows

 

[Le Shark]

Should be interesting - I can see France being either rubbish or actually setting the game alight with some individual skill

 

[Lord Camomile]

Right, seeing as my lil' Mexicans let me down, a brace from Forlan would be handy.

Have the French stopped caring about their football team again?

 

[Diamond]

Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan are as good a front pairing as any team in the World Cup.

And that's why I'm rather foolishly about to place a tenner on a 3-0 Uruguay win.

benzema isn't there.

 

[King Biscuit Time]

I've got 1-0 to Uruguay.

 

[articul8]

I have too - with Forlan scoring - 33/1
