    LOL, 2 touchdowns.
    Can you imagine the score if the Allstar team took the game seriously?

    bold names are either France Nationals, or French speaking Africans who've played in Ligue 1.

    and why can't France put together a decent national team anymore?
    I would love to see this line up play as if they had a cup on the line.

    Too bad they are not playing the MLS allstars. It still wouldn't be close, but would be a little more interesting.

    If France had a decent coach who didn't base his player decisions on astrological signs, they might have a chance.

    If the FFF really cared about their performance, as opposed to internal politics, they would be replacing Domenech.

    France has also suffered in the post-Zidane era in not having that dominating midfield control. They need a major re-think in their teams' strategy, player selection, etc. It's time to blow it up and rebuild from scratch.
    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

    don't think I don't know that.

    When Trezeguet said he would renounce his French citizenship if Domenech wasn't dropped as head coach, I thought it was a bit extreme. I personally think Trezeguet was the man who lost us the WC to Italy when he shot wide on a PK, but now it seems like he might have had a valid point. I say they bring #10 back to coach!
