France 0-2 Mexico (Gp A) 17th Jun 2010, 19:30 - BBC1

France really need to win this one or they could end up facing Argentina in the last 16 

France:  Lloris; Sagna, Gallas, Abidal, Evra; Toulalan, Diaby, Malouda; Govou, Anelka, Ribéry

Mexico: Pérez; Moreno, Osorio, Rodríguez, Salcido; Márquez, Juárez, Torrado; Giovani, Franco, Vela


Govou is still in the team and Domenech sent Gourcuff to the bench 

Domenech's team selections get weirder and weirder.

Which is a shame cause France have one of the best teams of the World Cup on paper (considering the players he didnt call too). Well, a shame for them, I couldnt care less about France

But Gourcuff on the bench sucks for my Fantasy team.

Mexico Win for me lads. cant see anything else.

I hadn't even noticed this yet, still no Ochoa after last game!!!?

Did I just hear some singing in this game?

It was magical wasn't it? Mexico have got some brilliant fans. It sounded like an actual football game for a brief moment.

I know mate was thinking the same when they walked out. Why is it? Anyone know?

Enjoying this one.

Come on Mehico!!!!!

Let's all listen to Roy.

Good, quick, open game this. Mexico should be up but I hope they keep going for it.

I have no idea, doesnt make any sense to me. Every time I watched Ochoa play for America he made a few world class saves, I think it's clear he is a lot better than Perez.



Am I the only one who thinks Toulalan is a great midfielder? Really like his style, he's everywhere in midfield, defends well and is also good with the ball. Shame he had to stop the counter attack and received a 2nd yellow, as a result he will miss the next match. Would be great for Liverpool I think.

I agree Diego, but only if Masch would leave.

Classy on the ball he is. Reckon he could of slotted in brilliantly after Alonso.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Would of been a good replacement for Alonso.

Gignac ->
Anelka <-

Looking at his statistics he doesn't really look like he has much creativity though, 2 goals and 10 assists in 278 games.

He sits a bit deeper than Alonso and is a tad more defensive but is a very good passer and can find a team mate from anywhere.

Outstanding for Lyon in their transitions.

mexicooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooo

Mexicooooo!!!!!!

The F***ing new manc. Go figure.

I thought it was clear offside at first but looks like it wasnt. Great ball for a great run then, Mexico 1-0!

Wow!! Are France heading out in the groups again?!

Nice composure there. F**k it, my predictions are all fu**ed up by now with all the crazy results, i don't care anymore
