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? 

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

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

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

Get the fook in! Mexico deserve it. France appear disinterested

The Irish rejoice!

I don't want to be off topic, but does anyone else think the Mexico goalie looks like mini-me's bigger non dwarf brother?

On topic, LMAO, and F**k france.

The Irish rejoice!

It would be a little bit of justice if France went out wouldn't it? Of course nothing replaces actually getting their, but it would be a small piece of justification.

Do a little dance. Make a little love. Get down tonight. Damn right I am Crouchy. Ole ole ole ole

MEHIHOOOOO

 

 

Haha Henry's face is priceless.

Go figure he gets them there and then he sits out

Why I not play. Now I am sulking. . . To be read in a grumpy French accent

Why cant our fans be more like Mexico's? (By ours I mean England obvs)

Penalty! HA!

Penalty ,,, for Mexico

France wasted 4 years of their football history with Domenech

2-0!!

Blancoooooooo!

Love him.

That was never a penalty ole ole ole ole . . . Ole . . . Ole

Bye Bye France   HAHA

Mexico draws Uruguay next , France is OUT

BLANCO! 2-0

Legend

That was never a penalty ole ole ole ole . . . Ole . . . Ole

I think it was a penalty, if the player kept running he would of been hit by Abidal, it's true he dived before but its still a pen imo. Not that I care though, I would find it even funnier if it was nothing.

Ran from outside the box the nutter. Loving this. Must buy a Mexico jersey

Blimey, the French 2-0 down, wonder who they'll blame 

The Ball?

The noise of the Vuvuzelas?

 

I blame Henry

Blimey, the French 2-0 down, wonder who they'll blame  

The Ball?

The noise of the Vuvuzelas?

The Irish for not beating them in qualifiers, you gotta laff, bye bye froggies 

 

OOOOOOOOLEEEEEEEEEE

OOOOOOOOLEEEEEEEEEE

OOOOOOOOLEEEEEEEEEE

Mexico and Uruguay through then.

cheatted to qualify ..They getting exactly what they deserved...
Lets have another goal Mexico

Get Djibril on!

Domenech is a waste of space.

Blanco is such a legend!

Would love to see South Africa turn the french over so they finish last in group

Almost time for me to head over to the reasons to be cheerful thread. Oh for lifes little pleasures

Is it me or is the entire stadium Mexico fans?

Mexico 0-0 Uruguay, please!

Mexico 0-0 Uruguay, please!

Oh yes!

South Africa 1-0 France, please!!

Is it me or is the entire stadium Mexico fans?

Seems like it. For the first time at this WC i was able to hear fans chanting and it was the Mexicans.

That Mexico jersey is quality. Domenech. . . You are the weakest link

Wasn't it only the last WC that they failed to score in all their group games?

Bye Bye bores..

Is it me or is the entire stadium Mexico fans?

I read that most of the fans in the stadium are Mexicans, while very few French travelled to South Africa. There was an interview with one of the French guys and he said the facts it was European summer and the French team wasnt getting anyone excited contributed to that.

Well done Mexico

France  0  0  2  0  -2  0

Make out what that means

Wasn't it only the last WC that they failed to score in all their group games?

Bye Bye bores..

They failed to score in 2002. Last WC (2006) they were runners up

Hope the french dint sack him straight away..He'll get lined up for the job at Anfield....Yikes dint bear thinking about

Argentina vs Mexico likely to happen in the round of 16 again. I would love to see Uruguay vs Argentina, maybe if Mexico wins the next game (with France failing to qualify anyway) it would be even better than the 0-0

Well done Mexico, their fans were amazing

Giggidy. That that Mexican left back into Anfield 

Hope the french dint sack him straight away..He'll get lined up for the job at Anfield....Yikes dint bear thinking about

They're not sacking him, he was leaving after this tournament already. Laurent Blanc is replacing him.

Giggidy. That that Mexican left back into Anfield 

Salcido, I always thought he was a good player, had a great game today. He plays for PSV, maybe Dexter could give his opinion too

Man that run by Hernandez was perfect! Just showed the replay and the offside line - his foot was JUST onside, that was inch perfect. F**k off you frog fuckers!!!

And the guy who took the penalty, started his run up far enough back then?

Not a big fan of Salcido. Got torn to bits every time they played us.

Salcido, I always thought he was a good player, had a great game today. He plays for PSV, maybe Dexter could give his opinion too

Not good enough, has been very inconsistent at PSV. Though to be fair, he's been unhappy at PSV. He wants to leave PSV this summer, so I'm sure he's putting in extra effort this tounament to catch attention of clubs.

Get Djibril on!

Did I hear that he'd broken his leg yet again? Just before the World cup started?

I think he left a good impression at the Libertadores when Chivas played vs São Paulo, didnt watch him much recently so I trust your judgment. He was very good today, anyway

Did I hear that he'd broken his leg yet again? Just before the World cup started?

Must be a small bone or something because he was running on the side and he was named on the subs bench

Can't be him then, I thought I over heard something today about him, must be someone else they were talking about.

Ironically, Cisse did miss the 2006 World Cup with a broken leg.

A good night for our Irish reds.

Karma.

I think he left a good impression at the Libertadores when Chivas played vs São Paulo, didnt watch him much recently so I trust your judgment. He was very good today, anyway

Yeah, he did very well today. But I think that's also because France gave away too much space on his side. Govou did a very bad job at tracking back there. Salcido is already 30 too, I can't see him as a succesful left back for us.

yeah washing these cheesy nachos down with a bottle of tequila as we speak

as an irish person i am delighted that france have lost, hopefully south africa will humiliate them now in the next match

What goes around just comes around this is the sound its time to get down. RTE final music. Classic

Ha ha , take that you cheese eating surrender frogs (condolances to Sagna , Gallas and Diaby)

Comedy this. All Mexico and You're a guy have to do is draw and they're both through. 

What comes around goes around Terry Henry.

It looks like France have lost the plot. Think affairs with the manager are largely to blame.

Pleased for Mexico. It'd be great if they and Uruguay progressed.

Uruguay and Mexico will play at a canter and draw the game in order for them both to qualify.

France have become a laughing stock, got to be one of their worst teams and manager combination ever.

South Africa have really slim hopes of qualifying. I think it's almost okay to say they are as good as out.

Do the tables go by Goal differences of head to head?

Samir Nasri: Hey Karim, hows it going?

Karim Benzema: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! f***in' alrite ay Sammy! Catch those turds prancing about?

Samir Nasri: *rofl* Aye thank F**k that Dommyknacker c**t left us here!

In an Irish pub.

Domenech didn't read the Aztec Horoscope

France. Well and truly.

fu**ed.

Goal difference

Then South Africa needs to beat France like 6-0 and hope either Uruguay or Mexico win.

Which is unlikely.

Mexico outright dominated this game. The only way France was gonna score was on a handball . Nonetheless, F**k Mexico.

France played sh*te football throughout qualification,didnt even top their group

Domenech should have been kicked out after the Euro's but they stuck with him and this is what they get

so much for "fraud of god" henry's goal ,he couldnt even get a look in,who the F**k is Gicnac?

Am happy they are almost out,serves em right.

Viva la Mexico

^

Gignac is a forward who was top scorer in france 2008/09 and is a very good goal scorer for Toulouse.

However, the other night - where did Domenech play him? Right F***ing wing!!

I never thought France gelled and played well as team.

Zidane probably pulled the strings when he was there.
