France doesn't deserve to go to SA to be honest. From what I understand, they still have a good chance, but only because all the other teams in that group (except Serbia) suck so hard - especially Romania is a real disappointment. If France does make it, they'll need either a huge amount of luck or a major turnaround to not become a joke imo.
Tsss tsss tssss Actually I enjoyed the last 2 matches. Yesterday was a day of bad luck, it could have been worse with the GK expulsed after 9 minutes...
You also certainly would beat them too. Capello vs Maradonna... barely worth thinking about it. I agree with Roger too - France have been dire and really do not deserve to make it. I cannot fathom how Domenech has kept his job all this time.
I watched a little bit of the game against Serbia and wasn't impressed. It would be too hilarious if the Faeroes get a point against France and Austria possibly still has a chance to overtake France in the last game. Anyway, France is the second best team in that group, whatever that's worth, despite their problems.
I wasn't impressed too but that's still better than what I saw against Faeroes. Yeah, hilarious...Bruno N'Gotty says hello BTW (sweet vengeance )
Watching England vs Germany women's EC finale right now. It's a good game actually, once you get past comparing the level of play with men's football. 1:2 England - Germany after 30 minutes
Honestly, who didn't see this coming for Maradonna? When they named him manager I laughed for days. Cocaine's a hell of a drug.
Hey, how many countries can say that their national football team losing a certain match had a significant impact on another country's history?
Ask any Faringian (or whatever they are called in English) about Landskrona and I promise you, they'll know what you're talking about - can the French claim anything similar?
In the first official UEFA national team game ever in the history of the Faeroe Islands (or however you spell their name), they famously beat Austria 1:0 in september 1990 in Landskrona, Sweden (because at that time there was not a single usable grass football pitch on their islands), and apparently that event was more or less part of the founding myth of the nation of the Faroe Islands. From what I understand I'm quite certain that every single citizen of the Faroe Islands knows Austria and Landskrona, and Torkil Nielsen and Jens Knudsen - as does every Austrian who followed football at that time.
I've read that the Austrian national coach at that time still recieved a giant fish at every anniversary of that game as a present from the Faroe Islands.
