The Official World Cup 2006 Thread

Yep. I'm hoping for some real action up front from that partership. Two EXCELLENT strikers, finally teamed up from the start.

IMHO it isn't a bad thing missing Zidane. The trouble with the French squad seems to be their team spirit. I think that people like Zidan are too much of an influence on this spirit. France need to let go of the old generation.
 
So many good chances in that first half, so little to show for it.

I like the combination of Trezeguet and Henry, with Ribery delivering some nice balls to them both. I think they'll break through and get a couple in the second half. Go Swiss!
 
I got this feeling that the whole of France knew that Trezeguet and Henry would make a dream-striking-partnership!
All except that strange coach... (please kick out those forgotten-glory players).

I do hope France get that win, and stay in the competition. Henry is my favorite player when this WC started (maybe van Persie now though... :p ), and want to see him make lovely goals.

Come on France!

Not any more... ;) :D

France appears to finally be playing how they should have been all tournament. Let's see how they do in the Round of 16... If everything stays the way it is, they would end up playing Spain, correct?

Yep. Tough encounter for both of them. But, that usually goes for any second round match... ;)

I really wonder if Domenech takes heart from this perofrmance. As much as I respect Zidane, and as much as I have adored his football, it was in the past.
Yes, he deserves a hero's farewell, but maybe not here in Germany.

Enter: Wiltord.... becoming an Arsenal get-together :D

EDIT:.. and there went another.

Well.. the French national team meetups are basically present and ex-Arsenal get togethers. :)
 
A few years ago Arsenal v Fulham was considered France A v France B. ;)

Anyway...

Congratulations to the French (and the Swiss too)!!!!

Dear gauchogolfer, have a gr8 time tonight!
 
Thank you very much. Huge sigh of relief around here. You can almost hear the breath being exhaled at the same time all over the place. This ought to be quickly replaced by the sound of beers being poured all at the same time :). Time to head out to Nice, cheers.
