France National Football Team

Viva la France.... Boy do I love France, the food, the wine, the women, the countryside, shall I go on, maybe not but being just over 20 miles from our coastline, (Dover) France is a must to visit. Pop over in just over 1hr on those big car ferry's (even quicker on eurotunnel) and moments later enjoy a strong Espresso with a Croissant in a rustic cafe.(wonderful) In the evening in France why not explore the local Town/City or Village and discover fantastic Bar's and Restaurant's. In my opinion the best place to be on holiday is in a popular local French Bistro having a good steak and French fries (chips) , served with house wine ...  Read the complete review

Having seen France's performance against Brazil, one can't help but admire their performance, particularly Zidane, who for me was the man of the match. He seemed calm and cool throughout the game and overshadowed Ronaldinho who has been very poor throughout this tournament. France should beat Portugal fairly easily on this form. Portugal looked very average against a very average England side. I can't help but look forward to see Christiano Ronaldo's face when he is out. There are many that will dislike the guy after his bad sportsmanship against England. It was he that got Rooney sent off, and yet they play for the same team (Manchester United). I doubt ...  Read the complete review

Arrogant, injuries and age that?s all I can say for the French team. They came in to the World Cup 2002 one of the favourites to win and retain the cup, with the worlds best players Theirry Henry top goal scorer in England, Zinedine Zidane one of the worlds most skillful and tactful players, Patrick Vieira Arsenals strength in midfield the list goes on. France put out a team that on paper would take them through to the World Cup final and win it for them, but due to the fact that they had won the cup 4 years previous they thought that they were just going for a walk in the park. Perhaps the French could blame it on their recent injury problems; the man to ...  Read the complete review

The world cup holders are out of the competition, without even reaching the knockout stage. Even before the competition France had serious doubters after their arguably best player, Zinedine Zidane, injured himself in a warm up match against South Korea. With an ageing team, France were still looking favourites to progress through the competition, and as European Champions they knew how to win on all levels. France's first match was against the new boys in the competition, Senegal. The African nation was highly underrated, and Frane looked arrogant when confronted with the newcomers. Constantly struggling through the match they were shot ...  Read the complete review

Who would have thought a week ago that today might mark the exit of the World champions from the World Cup? But it is true. After faultering to the Senegalese Minnows, an unwelcome tie against Uruguay will not be savoured by many in France. A swagger of arrogance has led to misplaced faith in an automatic qualification. After the draw against Denmark this morning, The French group now looks as follows: 1st Denmark. Played 2 Won 1 Drawn 1 Points 4 2nd Senegal. Played 2 Won 1 Drawn 1 Points 4 3rd France. Played 1 Won 0 Drawn 0 Lost 1 Points 0 4th Uruguay. Played 1 Won 0 Drawn 0 Lost 1 Points 0 This means the loser of todays match ...  Read the complete review
