Pires Viera Zidane Marlet OUT for France-Nederlands :((

[brianfrance]

By the way, Marlet subsitute by Cheyrou; Already NO Anelka.
It seems now sure, Anelka will not play this match, and surely not Euro....

 

[Sammer]

I guess Micoud gets to play now in Midfield - he has been outstanding in the last weeks at Werder Bremen.

 

[Mark]

lol, who needs Zidane or Pires when you've got Cheyrou?

 

[brianfrance]

Now I think midfield will be
Dacourt (Pedretti) Makelele
Govou (Giuly) Micoud

 

[n_henry]

Is that darn Saha gonna play?

I too hope Titi doesn't play the whole match...

 

[seanconvey66]

Is that darn Saha gonna play?

Hope he does as it means another striker so Henry should get less of a game.

 

[Sammer]

Now I think midfield will be
Dacourt (Pedretti) Makelele
Govou (Giuly) Micoud

Funny thing is - most so-called big football nations like England and Germany would be more than happy to have such a high-quality midfield.... :shock:

 

[seanconvey66]

Englands is better than that, Scholes, Gerrard, Beckham then Butt or Lampard. That would beat that midfielder, obviously not the 1st choice one tho.

steed malbranque got called u.p as well, i'm pleased for him. he deserves a cap for his consistent good performances over the last two seasons.

 

[Mark]

Yeah Malbranque is very underrated imo. He has performed very well for Fulham and given the chance perhaps he can do so for France as well.

 

[brianfrance]

yeah very happy for malbranque.
It'll be a strange match !!
