    80 mn, and still no goal... It really smells of Swiss cheese.

        Once again you're right, DLN... It's just 11 shrimps with no "mayonnaise". If they get through the round Robin, they'll be eaten very easily in the 1/8s...

            Oh MG, Zidane is not even a shadow of his past anymore, and where, where is Henry? I feel sorry Jerome! I really do!

                I don't really know what's wrong with them. It's obvious that they don't look like a team properly speaking, as you said.
                Maybe the fact that they play after very specific schemes in their respective clubs in England or Spain, and they're just unable to get together under a different strategy.
                Maybe they're all too proud to understand that they all have to adapt to each others and not wait too much for their team-mates to adapt to their little persons...
                Anyway, you know that a team made of bits and pieces, however great the players can be individually, will never be worth a real, united group, even composed of supposedly less great players.

                Anyway, it's a real shame that they aren't able to link their individualities together like the Brasilian group, who never have such a problem.

                  Cheers Jero! But you know, I'm no chauvinist, really, I don't mind if the French don't go very far this year - I'm only interested in great games.
                  BTW, they don't seem to be bound for the last four, I'm not even sure they will get through the 1/8s...

                  Since they won the 1998 WC and the Euro in 2000, they never stopped falling, reaching bottom in Korea in 2002 (3 round robin matches, not a single goal, a defeat vs Senegal, and no excuses...
                  In 2004, they lost in the 1/4 finals. They're just the shadow of a once great team (well, twice, if you count the 82-84-86 team), and to that extent, I think they're really OVERrated: players who are great with their clubs, but can never find a single wavelength with the blue shirts on.
                  In addition, did you see the argument between Zidane and one of the Black attackers (sorry, I just can't remember his name now)? They seriously argued about the way the ball should pass between them - unbelievable! -, that's symptomatic of a group that is in the woods as far as strategy, communication and spirit. They just don't desserve to be successful.
