You have alot of grief over that game . If you are talking about the match in March of last year when he started Maka, Toulalan, and Diarra, then at least we got a 1-0 win .

Squad to face Uruguay

Gardiens de But

Stève MANDANDA - Olympique de Marseille
Yohann PELE - Le Mans UC 72

Défenseurs

Gaël CLICHY - Arsenal F.C.
Julien ESCUDE - FC Seville
Patrice EVRA - Manchester United
Rod FANNI - Stade Rennais F.C. seriously, this guy again
William GALLAS - Arsenal F.C.
Philippe MEXES - AS Rome

Milieux de Terrain

Alou DIARRA - Girondins de Bordeaux
Lassana DIARRA - Portsmouth

If you want to call up in-form strikers, where is Hoarau, who just won Player of the Month, where's Gignac, Remy, Obraniak. He even dropped Ben Arfa. Still no Mathieu, Cabaye, etc., Just call them up, they don't even have to play because they're beginning to think they are being ignore. While (slim) changes are being made, we're still seeing the same people and this is for a FRIENDLY.

Mexes...again to not even play ever.
Ben Arfa.... what more can he do?
and Mathieu continues to be snubbed.
at least no Boumsong for you lot.

might as well call up Maka will all these old but new faces coming back in

scary when Lippi and Gli Azzurri are calling up more youngsters than your boys

[drac78]

Terrible squad as usual with Domenech:

-Savidan is there to get his first cap and will be forgotten after (as it happened with Sinama Pongolle, Piquionne etc)
- No Ben Arfa or Malouda (who is now a starter for Chelsea!)
- Boumsong was a starter in defense in the last 2 games and now he's not even in the squad (not that he deserves to, but it proves how clueless Domenech is)

[jon6894]

vieira will still be getting called up when he's 40, even though he has clearly been finished for at least the last three years.

it was the same in 2002 when lemerre was in charge. if blanc and deschamps hadn't retired after euro 2000 you just know they would have been in that squad too.

*Thread title*....are a joke while Domenech's in charge.

Seriously, I hate the guy. He's ruining the French NT's reputation...now if only Italy would hire him...

I still haven't forgiven you for 2006.

And by "the penunsiula" I assume you mean Florida?
