How can anyone: A) Be tacticly outwitted by Alex McLeish in qualifying:eek: Make a team containing Ribery, Nasri, Benzema, Anelka and Henry look so insipid?

Zali Cinnamon Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Same goes for Thierry Henry. As an aside, how the hell can you not start Samir Nasri and (until today) Karim Benzema? Two of the top emerging players in the world, yet Malouda, Govou etc manage to get a game. Domenech got lucky in that Zidane basically got him to the WC2006 final single-handedly.

Oxford City Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 This is how good the atmosphere was under Domenech. After Makalele, Zidane and Thuram all retired from international football, he asked them to come back. Zidane and Makalele said yes, Thuram said no. Zidane was asked to ask Thuram to reconsider, but Thuram said he was too old and finished (he was probably right). Zidane told Domenech that Thuram refused to return. Domenech then named his next squad with all three in it, saying they'd reconsidered. Thuram was furious, but he thought he would be letting down his country by kicking up a fuss, so came back. Apparently he and Domenech have never spoken since, which must have made for harmony in the dressing room. Result - appalling atmosphere, possibly the greatest defender of the last twenty years (as well as an excellent off-the-field role model - just compare him to Terry or Ferdinand) ruining his reputation by going on past his time. France got to the final despite Domenech two years ago. He got what he deserved this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxford City Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Apparently Makalele also refused to return but Domenech picked him anyway as well. Man's a fool.... As Danny Baker pointed out, he looks like Freddie of Freddie and the Dreamers. I also think he has a certain look of Larry David about him too. I await a future episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry insults someone French and ends up as their manager by mistake. The shot of him after the sending-off was priceless. You could just see him thinking 'I know I'm supposed to do something here, I just have no idea what it is.' And as for Martin O'Neill sticking up for him...I know O'Neill only says things to be controversial, but he ended up sounding more ridiculous than usual. When Shearer makes more sense than you, that's when you should give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoseLikeMahe Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Flamini wasn't injured... he was sent home as not required due to the fitness of Patrick Vieira - who never kicked a baw!! Great management there. Martin O'Neill stood up for France and Domenech because they were his pre-tournament tip to win it and he was defending his own corner. I only wish he'd picked Landreau in goal... "Pick it out!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kearney19 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Domenech is an awful manager, this is a France team many tipped, even by myself, who lost to Scotland despite dominating, got hum*ed off the park by Holland, did nothing V Italy and lost and drew with Romania. Toulalan is a p*** player, dont care what people say I have no clue why he was there. Her plays Abidal in a game where they have to play, hes crap too. Govou and Makalele, please, why are they even considered good players any more? Anelka? Dont make me laugh, got the energy of a pig, absolultley useless. And never starts Nasri and then gets subbed after coming on. And telling Flamini, one of the best midfielders in the EPL last season to go home and take Vieira who played no minutes in the campaign, well done sir! Domenech did this on purpose, well he must have as the guy has NO brains in football management. Thats like playing say Luke Chadwick and leaving Christiano Ronaldo on the bench for the full season. No doubt Romanov will want Domenech for our next manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy_jambo_2006 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Domenech is a buffoon. The team is a mix of too old and too young. What was the farce with Thuram, declining to play yesterday??? They also miss Zidane obviously. That'll be the Zidane, who single handedly got France to the 2006 WC Final, beating Brazil on the way practically on his own. Always going to be missed. But France were screwed as soon as the boy got sent off yesterday. Game over basically. But when you rely on muppets such as Anelka, you may as well pack up and go home.

O'Neill, like a lot of good managers, doesn't like to give much away about 'behind-the-scenes' stuff whwn he's on TV so often seems to be on the wind-up and being controversial for the sake of it. On this occasion he was defending a manager who didn't really deserve to be defended. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirHearts Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I don't understand how you haven't mentioned his worst mistakes. He left out Trezeguet, who scored for fun in Italy and would have been a powerful presence in the box, something France terribly needed. He left out Mexes who was the best defender in Serie A, and took fricking Boumsong (former worst player in EPL). He played Coupet instead of Frey, who was the best goalkeeper in Serie A, possibly Europe, and better than for example Gigi Buffon himself, last season.

These are all valid points though I'm not convinced Trezeguet would have made much difference in a struggling team. The exclusion of Mexes was baffling. Presumably his horoscope for Junedidn't look too clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
