The France list of 23 according to the public

The public has spoken! And an interesting vote indeed...the list from Sports24.com. What is fascinating is the fact that Boumsong (not sure why) and Mexes (clearly the public is correct on this one!) was chosen ahead of Domenech favorites - Escude and Squillaci. The inclusion of Nasri...ahem....is exactly what this blogger has called for! Interesting list based on the popular vote -


Votre liste des 23 Bleus :
Gardiens : Lloris (93% des voix), Mandanda (86%), Carrasso (57%)
Défenseurs : Abidal (90%), Sagna (87%), Evra (86%), Gallas (84%), Boumsong (49%), Mexès (45%), Fanni (36%), Réveillère (34%)
Milieux de terrain : Ribéry (93%), Gourcuff (87%), Malouda (84%), Toulalan (73%), Nasri (71%), L. Diarra (67%), Govou (57%), Ben Arfa (43%)
Attaquants : Anelka (91%), Henry (88%), Benzema (79%), Cissé (70%)

I do like Nasri slotted along side Toulalan, lots of offensive firepower in this line up, it could even shift to a 4-1-4-1 much like Spain did in the Euros. Too bad Domenech would rather line up 3 holding midfielders...

Another survey this time from l'Equipe.  Some similarities with the above survey the striking similarities are the inclusion of Mexes and Nasri in both votes. Maybe Domenech should let the people decide, they clearly seem more intelligent than the current France manager.

GARDIENS : Lloris (Lyon), Mandanda (Marseille), Carrasso (Bordeaux).
DEFENSEURS : Abidal (FC Barcelone), Gallas (Arsenal), Mexès (AS Roma), Squillaci (FC Séville), Evra (Manchester United), Sagna (Arsenal), Clichy (Arsenal).
MILIEUX : Toulalan (Lyon), L. Diarra (Real Madrid), A. Diarra (Bordeaux), Ribéry (Bayern Munich), Malouda (Chelsea), Gourcuff (Bordeaux), Nasri (Arsenal), Govou (Lyon).
ATTAQUANTS : Anelka (Chelsea), Henry (FC Barcelone), Benzema (Real Madrid), D. Cissé (Panathinaïkos), Gignac (Toulouse).
