Guest SS RED Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Prediction - FIRST UPSET OF THE TOURNAMENT Romania 1 - 1 France. France AKA Africa select are an ageing side and I think are pretty average, Malouda, Abidal etc. all fairly over rated. Wonder how many french players will be in the starting line up, I predict 3.

vanderark14 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 do 5 live cover these games? i'll be in the car on my home so wont see it. Link to comment
paulkaneatemyhamster Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 France 23 Coupet 19 Sagnol 15 Thuram Guadeloupe 05 Gallas 03 Abidal 22 Ribery 20 Toulalan 06 Makelele - Congo 07 Malouda - French Guiana. 08 Anelka 09 Benzema 3 non french born players in starting X1 still, a lot of quality in the side 2-1 france, but it'll be tight.

Guest SS RED Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Benzema is from Morocco or algeria, abidal, anelka, gallas are all from africa. If I was French I wouldn't even support them, It's embarresing for a nation of 60 million people to have about 4 french players in there national team. Link to comment
minijc Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I agree with you, got 1-1 and mutu to score first on at 35/1 and Romania/draw at 14/1. Sonof the rock got me in to Romania, never realised how good a side they actually have. On another note Mike Parry on talksport this morning was saying they shouldna be there because they are a poor country and this is all about being rich now adays and England should have ben in there instead. big time fishing this morning.

No Benzema was born in Lyon, Adibal was born in Lyon, Anelka born just outside Paris, Gallas born in Asni Link to comment

minijc Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 And Ribery was born in India.Was he? I like all these players that were born all over the shop, ex aberdeen player Fergus Tiernan was born in Nigeria. Link to comment
paulkaneatemyhamster Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 And Ribery was born in India. don't think so Franck Bilal Rib Link to comment
Guest LondonScottish Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Was he? I like all these players that were born all over the shop, ex aberdeen player Fergus Tiernan was born in Nigeria. No. Just thought I'd let the "Googlers" have something to do. Link to comment
Guest SS RED Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Portugal have a few braziallians, I think Fifa should get tougher on it, as for Edaurdo playing for Croatia that is probabaly the worst one. Soon international teams will be just like club teams. Link to comment
paulkaneatemyhamster Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 No. Just thought I'd let the "Googlers" have something to do. just filling time before 6pm now Link to comment

Soon international teams will be just like club teams.Can you blame them though? brazil is a very hard side to get into, you can be one of the best players on the go yet still wont be good enough, it isna as easy as you make it out to be either. Do you have a problem with Morrison playing for Scotland aswell? Link to comment

paulkaneatemyhamster Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 stinky game - 2 nervy sides . needs a Romanian goal to kick this game into life Link to comment
Guest SS RED Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 France look poor, think you can write them off for winning this, no shots on target. Game played at walking pace, very crap. No James Morrison should not play for Scotland n responce to MiniJC. Link to comment
madjockmcferson Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 not a bad game but france lost twice to us so im surprised people are surprised they arent very good. Link to comment
SteveW Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I ferkin hate France. Shouldn't even be there after we pumped them twice with them not even having a single shot on target (am I remembering that right? I think so. ) Link to comment
Guest SS RED Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Still not a shot on target. COme on Romania. Link to comment
Guest rocket_scientist Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I'm really enjoying this 2nd half. Hope Domenech takes Joel Bats out of retirement and sticks him on so that Vasily can give us another Rats beats Bats headline. Mon the Rooms. Link to comment
cgs1706 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Get Bafetimbi Gomis on. He'll score. Link to comment
Guest rocket_scientist Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Anelka subbed off. He's been wholly unconvincing for a year or two now. Phud. Link to comment
Guest rocket_scientist Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Is this new ball at fault here? Every shot is missing the target by miles. The promise of the opening 15 20 minutes of this 2nd half has petered out into dreariness. Link to comment
Guest SS RED Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 oh dear oh dear. France are in big big trouble. Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 oh dear oh dear. France are in big big trouble. Dire game, hope France crash out. Link to comment
Guest the shepherd Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Shame we never got to see the Romanian lad that we are after, Adrian Cristea, to see how good he really is. Not the worst game I have ever seen (Kilmarnock v Aberdeen in February this year gets that accolade) but neither of them will win the tournament (I may be wrong but I doubt it). Link to comment
