What do you think about France' soccer team?

I think the team is decent.  I don't think they will win it all, but they are good enough to cause trouble and possibly might be able to take out a more favored team.

In this world cup its a toss up. Their game just started so i don't know the reslut. But I think they will place in the top 3 if not the top 5.

I have the greatest respect for Zidane. I have closely monitored his game and in my opinion he is not only a good football player, but also a gentleman. I applaude his idea to retire when the ovation is loudest. Not every football player does that. If not for him France probably would not have qualified for the world cup. He is also the type of player that gives his best whether during club or national engagement. He takes his profession seriously and the world sure has a lot to learn from such an icon.

France is an excellent team, and they have excellent players, Viera,  Henry. Makelele, Zidane. In the beginning I think there were trouble among the players, but that stopped and they are playing as a team. Brazil has to be aggressive but very careful

My predictions are on South Korea, once again this year... their crowd is phenomenial.. they are so loud, and continue to cheer all throughout the game, even if they are down... did u see the way korea was able to come back on france with a 1-0 defecit.. it was the crowd that lifted Korea's morale up... its like they have 12 players on the pitch..

it was a fair win for les bleus.. ok, so the die hard spanish fans are furious about henry's feint, but hey, the still won 3-1!!! not counting viera's it'd be a 2-1 victory for france anyways. spain lost, so what? have a little bit more sportmanship, people.. no matter how much u verbally abuse the other team, the result can't be turned around. be dignified losers, don't lose ur face by making hurtful comments. i really liked the match today. i'm a les bleus supporter but before the match i had a feeling spain would win, but i didn't mind. just let the best team win, please. it wasn't a dirty match at all, infact, compared to the other matches it can be said it was kinda ok and disciplined. i mean, just look at portugal and holland. ok?

Sa me parait difficilement envisageable, vu le niveau de football qu'ils produisent...C'est un football de classe européenne, non plus de classe nationale...Ils ont pris une large avance déjà et personne ne semble en mesure de raccrocher l' OLocomotive. Malgré de beaux espoirs marseillais en début de saison, les lyonnais sont, ne l'oubiont pas sacrés champions d'automne, 3 journées avant le mercato. A noter aussi un très beau parcours jusqu'ici en C1, et le retour en grande forme de joueurs que l'on avait déjà entérré, je pense à Carew, qui à réalisé peut-être LE match de sa vie...De plus, ils disposent d'un effectif complet, et sont dans la possibilité de faire tourner ce dernier, de façon à ne pas épuiser l'avant-garde...Puis, derrière, suivent les nouvelles générations (Benzema, Ben-Harfa...)\nLe talon d'achille sera peut-être dans les prochaines saisons la mise à la retraite de Grégory Coupet...Affaire à suivre!!!

I am not aware of a team called "Franta", is it possible that you mean France? According to William Hill, France are 12/1 to win making them sixth favourites

after dunga took over brazil as their new coach i now have more confidence in them..their disasterous performance during the world cup is nowhere compared to the new brazil team..their performance have been great and enjoyable to watch since dunga took over..and the fact that the new team is built around relatively young players i have great confidence that this new brazil team can go as far as winning the next world cup in 2010.. \n\nthe newly-crowned world champion, italy, however hasn't look good enough lately to claim their title as the new world cup champion..sum say it's the new coach to blame but i prefer to stay silent..whatever it is if they failed to win or even qualify for euro 2008 it might tarnish their world cup glory..\n\nfrance is now a new team since the world cup ended..the french maestro zinedine zidane is no longer with them to inspire and to help the team reach it's glory..most ppl have doubts that the new france can go as far as the old france did..but recent performances both at international and club level might as well proved the doubters wrong..   \n\ngermany has built a new young and talented team around their last coach juergen klinsmann..they have shown the world how good they were during the world cup..when klinsmann left the building many doubt joachim lowe can do the job as good as klinsmann did it..but germany has been on par and up to everyone's level of expectations since then..like france, they too might just proved the doubters wrong..\n\nall in all..i have to say brazil is the team to beat at the moment..

No way!!\nZidane, Henry, and Lizarazu were all injured for the Senegal game. Senegal, on the other hand had 6 top players retire over the last 4 years. Togo is a decent team, but nowhere near the level that France is on right now. As long as everyone stays healthy, I predict that France will win group G, and advance to the quarterfinals.

France can play really well when they have too and this year it seems Brazil are only human and not crazy soccer mutant freeks. I think it will be a good match.

Bonjour\n\nHmm I don't think I'm able to speak on behalf of all us English (despite their please for me to ascend to the throne). However the French have a mixed reputation over here - they are seen as cultured, good food, good wine, fine fashions, great lifestyle...however they are seen as a bit too quick to hold Europe hostage whenever they have an internal labour dispute (think tractors blocking ferry ports, air traffic control on strike). We've been quite jealous of their soccer success in recent times. We don't think you're much good at wars. You and Germany are trying to centralise and control Europe. We don't like Chirac and we were all very happy when we won the 2012 Olympics. You have very cheap houses. Your employment laws are a bit strange (especially this whole idea of not being able to make people redundant). You tend to be a bit introspective and sulky (think Albert Camus - although I don't believe he was French born). We don't like the way you try to make everyone speak French (Olympics, FIFA etc) when everyone else in the world seems to want to speak English - even your own Government had to legislate to protect your language I believe. You're well educated. Your economy is struggling (but is in better shape than the Germans). \n\nOK those are my off the cuff comments. Hope that helps.\n\nAu revoir\n\nPS Paris is startlingly dirty!

Evidemment qu'elle a des chances, autrement je pense que l'équipe aurait décidé de rentrer à la maison. Ce qui est beau dans ce sport c'est justement qu'une équipe moins forte peut toujours gagner et créer une surprise. Je ne pense néanmoins pas que les chances françaises de passer soient grandes. La France éprouve de grosses difficultés à marquer contre des équipes "moyennes", contre l'Espagne ça ne peut pas mieux se passer. L'Espagne est plus forte dans tous les secteurs du jeu que les équipes que la France a affrontée dans cette compétition jusqu'à maintenant, avec une grande puissance offensive.\nL'équipe se compose et compte sur des maillons vieillissants plus aussi bons qu'avant comme Barthez, Thuram et Zidane, ceux-ci étant alignés car ce dernier l'a imposé à Domenech.\nIl y a également trop de clans dans cette équipe pour qu'elle puisse aller loin, toutes ces petites choses font qu'elle ne devrait mis à part un miracle pas battre l'Espagne, totalement en confiance.

They showed quality play in group play.. they seemed to be a good team until one mistake was done and they would fall appart\n\nI think they need a little bit more experience in their team, I would like to see their players play more internationally.. but then again, Iran needs to fix its political situation before they can send off players to western countries
