France - Domenech

[Marky]

To stay on as manager, wtf

I thought he was certain to go.

He isn't bad you know. He guided France to the world cup finals 2 years ago. France has got a problem replacing Zidane, not the manager being bad. No player has been capable of replacing and more importantly, leading and driving them on. Zidane was all that, a fabulous player and a leader of men. He lead them by example and I think he was man of the tournament during the last world cup at the tender age of 34. Speaks volumes.

Despite Zidane being the star of his generation i don't see what thats got to do with Domenechs stupid decisions

Some of his choices have been horrendous lately and he fully deserves the sack. But then im not french and don't care

Which stupid decisions did he make ? It's all about opinions anyway and there'll always be someone, be it in the press or wherever who will never be satisfied. Aime Jacquet, and more recently Luis Aragones have been pilloried by everyone bar their dog.

He's a terrible manager Fredo just admit it. You're not really French anyway.

Well as I said, France paid the price for not having someone as good as Zidane to drive them forward.

I don't care what happens to France anyway as I don't like them. Am strongly French through my roots, but I guess I can say that I've got British ones too.

"What stupid decisions?"

How about not selecting Trezeguet and Flamini? That was shocking

Then continuing with Sagnol who is way way past his best. Picking off-form Abidal ahead of Evra

Persisting with Malouda who has been shocking for the past year.

Not starting Nasri and Benzima together with Henry, Trez and Ribery. That would have been a proper attack to put together.

Why no Mexes in defence? Why select unproven Gomis who obviously flopped too

I could go on and on. Domenech's performance has been appaling. If i was French and gave a toss i would be livid

And he believes in Horoscopes

[The Erectile Banana]

Domenech is a clown.

He supposedly picks squads and teams based on superstitions.

As already outlined some of his decisions at the Euros were baffling.

Very surprised he is staying on. Surely now he needs to discard his veterans and build a new young team around the likes of Mexes, Toulalin (sp?) and Benzema.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Haha he even contradicts himself, he called Leo's bad defenders and then starts with Gallas who is a Leo!! hahaha this man is insane, at least back your mad methods !

nailed it in one son.

What about not putting Clichy in the squad !!!!

[Marky]

That was beyond belief.

Evra and Clichy should have been the two left backs in the squad, Abidal is proper ****, always said it.

[tommyg]

Subbing Boumis on against the Romanians

[dww]

Mexes was injured if I remember correctly.

To be fair Abidal had been linking well with Malouda in the qualification campaign - so leaving out Clichy while a big call is perfectly understandable.

The other criticisms re: team selection and lack of Flamini though are really big errors of judgment and worse show a lack of faith in the next generation of players which he will now have to build his team around.
