In fact I'm not sure if I've ever seen him play well for France. It's really bizzare.

US fans don't beat yourselves up too much. Sounds like your media have been hyping you up waaay too much (not dislike the Englands to be honest!) and well you were never going to do anything anyway. Losing to the Czechs is no bad thing really. They would tonk England right now comfortably.

Missed the Brazil match but lol at all this Ronaldo bashing. Talk about jumping on the bandwagon. If anyone disses Adriano they don't know what they are talking about as well. Ronaldo will score at least 4 goals this WC no problem.

LOL at that Martin O'Neill quote Giuly is tits how he isn't in the squad is amazing. Wiltord just looked fucking lazy/bored. France is full of old timers and certainly don't look winning it right now.

Finally - is it just me or is every African side this time really quite good. Even Togo looked pretty fucking solid and fast and that guys goal was class. Really promising for the future though not many will get through their groups unfortunately.
