France... France... France



When the bloated, aging, French soccer aristocracy have forgotten how to play the beautiful game... it's time for a revolution mon amie. This was an awful performance from the French but since '98 what have they done? I'll tell you... not effing much. It is time for French soccer to move on from the legacy group and find a new identity, I like French soccer and think they deserve their place at the top table, but they have to start developing some fresh talent if they ever want to go further than the first round. Today's display was pretty dull. England starting to look better all the time eh? Brazil... take away all the circus crap and they look like a hard working blue collar team, this is the most unexciting Brazilian team I can remember, still, lots of hard work and effort, except for Ronaldo, will win you a few games. Czech republic are looking like favorites now, in my book... pace, skill, imagination they have it all, it really depends on Koller's injury, they are definitely less threatening without him in the line-up. The next round of games is going to be really interesting and I think all the armchair pundits will be selecting like crazy after this next round... me too!!!
