Netherlands vs France (Friendly): French Selection

[Jacky]

Go holland go!! I have confidence they won't lose
But France is definately a strong team. Should be a great match to see and I'm all for that.

 

[Uberstriker]

I'll say Holland 2:1.

How come france dosent use Local players as much ? they got a great league

 

[SB9Dragon]

They have so much good non French league talent that getting in some hometeam talent is sorta hard...

Anywayz I think France can win this game, though Holland are definately no pushovers...

 

[aqua]

I hope that this is a dress rehearsal for the final Euro 2004.

 

[Bobby]

France 3-1

Henry 2, Zidane

Desilley OG

 

[Jedi Mind Trick]

damn...both teams are just sick.

 

[chatterbox]

I would like to see Makaay start along with Van Nistelrooy and see what they can do against the French defence.

Henry and Trezzeguet would have to be starting for En Francais !

 

[fender]

The match will probably end up in a draw.

 

[mhflierman]

I really hope they'll play this game at a high pace and really go for it. And let's pray that there won't be 22 substitutions in the second hald, that always ruins a game.

I know why...




Because he has never played for Chelsea!

He left Everton to go to Lens, then went to Leeds, and from there to Roma

 

[Guillaume]

Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires and Zinedine Zidane are injured and out for this match Sidney Govou, Benoit Pedretti and Steed Malbranque join the group. Our titular midfield is out

Dacourt will take the Vieira's place, Giuly the Pire's one and maybe Micoud to replace Zidane.

 

[Guillaume]

Now it's Steve Marlet who's out Bruno Cheyrou join the group.

 

[Jacky]

looks like RVN....De Boer...Stam and Seedorf are also out .....

we could see a Makaay - VDV partnership up front

man... both teams are missing people...
anyway it'll be a great game

Looks like The Sun was right then.

If anyone even thinks he was acting when going down to Vieira's challenge, then you are mistaken.
