One major reason is he is respected by just about everyone. He also is VERY articulate in his press conferences, which is something we need. He is really just overall a good person. I like him a lot, my favorite player (& Nasri).Jean-Françoishttp://www.france.worldcupblog.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295776.post-56565307050305770542010-08-31T13:36:51.849-04:002010-08-31T13:36:51.849-04:00I agree that ADiarra would be an interesting choic...I agree that ADiarra would be an interesting choice since he captained Bordeaux under Blanc, as you point out, and also captained France against South Africa in the last World Cup game. Not that means a whole lot...I think the main issue with Diarra is that, again as you point out, he is not a sure bet to start for France. Especially with the current love fest around M'Vila.GFChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11528949404489200110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295776.post-45472637257748939722010-08-31T13:27:09.934-04:002010-08-31T13:27:09.934-04:00It's an interesting problem. It would probably...It's an interesting problem. It would probably be good to have some consistency in the choice of captain, so a regular starter should wear the armband. ADiarra would be an interesting choice, as he was captain for BDX when Blanc was the manager. But will he start consistently for les bleus? Does he have authority with other players? What about Mexes? Is he definitely the starter at CB? He hasn't necessarily played great in the blue shirt. <br /><br />In my view, Malouda should be captain. He is the best player on teh team. He has authority b/c he played very well in the 2006 WC. And he seems to be well-liked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
