Welcome to the "Frog," my little piece of cyberspace to talk about my passion - le foot (or soccer for my North American friends) especially anything around French football. Of course I will have some guest contributors that might want to discuss other aspects of footy! I support Les Bleus, Arsenal and PSG but really just love watching, analyzing and following the beautiful game. "You have to trust your teammates, always. If not we are lost."

Les Bleus end season with a wimper
I completely forgot, but Les Bleus had a friendly yesterday against Nigeria and proceeded to go down to defeat 1-0. Also, it would appear that there were many tired players and players ready for a break on the pitch. Since I was not able to watch the match (sounds like that was for the best) it would appear that the same problems that haunt Les Bleus continue - shaky central defense, no rhythm at midfield and shaky goalkeeping. Domenech has a very short time to rectify these issues. Then again he has had a year of borrowed time, so no sympathy for him wasting that time...alas.

yeah but i think it is good for the upcoming faroe islands. Because every time les bleus played them they had to take them serious because they did not do good in their previouse games. And they beat them 5-0 and 6-0 so i hope they can rain in goals this august
I hope you are right! I am just not convinced rolling out Vieira et al in a game that the players are tired really shows anything. And let us face it, if Les Bleus cannot get the maximum 6 points in August, they do not deserve to head to South Africa!
