How the hell did France fuck up the World Cup 1994 qualification? I just looked at their roster and it was ridiculous. Basically an All-Star team that managed to lose to Israel.
Bernard Lama
Marcel Desailly
Laurent Blanc
Alain Roche
Frank Sauzee
Emmanuel Petit
Didier Deschamps
Jean-Pierre Papin
Eric Cantona
David Ginola

Won't have been Hitcher m8, he'd have asked how to DDOS someone beforehand.
Also neither live around Mersyside
England. Bloody England.
Mate, it's France.
They self destruct every second tournament.
And it's never not absolutely hilarious.
Sensational place. Come visit.

...hate me...
Wasn't the game against Bulgaria that screwed them over? An hilarious cross by Ginola in the last minutes, that resulted in a lethal counter finished by my childhood hero, Kostadinov.
Wonder if Bla remembers him as well.
Also, it resulted in Ginola being outcasted from the NT innit? And Cantona as well maybe?
Saw them before. Lead singer was absolutely wrote-off/stoned.
Actually I was watching some David Ginola highlights on youtube (he owned Premier League) when I realized he never played in the World Cup.
Turns out that Gerard Houllier blamed him for the lack of qualification. He had a cross in the last minute against Bulgaria that turned into a late goal. I think that's BS he got the blame for it since Bulgaria still had to advance through the french midfield to score.
Long Johnson said:
Well it was the last game, but If they didn't lost any points against Israel at home that Bulgarian loss wouldn't had matter. I just saw the France-Bulgaria game on youtube and It's not like Ginola made an error in his own half.
Been once before. It was a good time.
The company I work for has an office in London. Minerva house or something.
Trying to convince them to send me for training.
The PSN DDOS attacks, mang.
oh i dont follow gaems

It's the last minute of a decisive game to go in the WC. The result is in you favour, but you can't concede a goal.
You bet that a forward should be accounted as responsible for pissing off the ball possession in that situation.

Look if you want to take a swipe at Nani just fucking say so.
eh, Ginola was at the other end with the ball. What was the french midfield doing in the last minute of the game? If I was the coach of France I sure as hell wouldn't blame one player for the lack of qualification.

Beautiful.
I'm sorry to inform you that he's turned a corner. Just like the other 47769 corners he's turned.
Just lovely.
Beautiful.

:lol
Maybe it's too harsh to blame him publicly, because the whole team was playing and the qualification consists in playing many games, not just that one.
But at one end or the other, possession is vital in such a situation. You lose possession, you get exposed. You keep possession, you win the game.
In the end, it was a brilliant football moment though. And how fantastic was that Bulgarian generation. Stoichkov, Balakov, Iordanov, Kostadinov, etc. Wonderful WC 94 they played.
And the French can't complain too much about luck either, something very nice was coming their way 4 years later.

"It is something that is special in this team, on the mental front. We have been questioned many times but we have shown that we have that strength" - Arsene Wenger, December 2013.
"We stay strong, we graft and we never give up. The spirit was always there, but more perhaps towards the end of the season.We can feel this season there is something special in the squad" - Laurent Koscielny, January 2014.
"We are in a much better mental shape than one year ago" - Arsene Wenger, February 2014.
"Today was a mental task, but we are strong enough so we continue now. After Anderlecht and Manchester United, we dropped mentally a bit, but today we came back in an even stronger way. We learned from disappointment in other weeks" - Per Mertesacker, November 2014.
Rooney will score three and Austin two.
Sìiiiiiiiiii

Ra's al Ghul!!!What a time to rise from the Lazarus' Pits!
So good innit
So good innit
They've both been great. Really enjoying it.
Not with our away form.
Hopefully we get 3 points.
Expect others around us to drop points this weekend.

Me too, really didn't expect The Flash to be as good as it has been in particular. Pretty good CGI for a tv show too.
Man robs coworker at gunpoint, shows up to work the next morning.
It could easily have turned out 'meh'. But damn, it's been good so far.

I wish I was but our away record is poor to say the least. Perfect time to sort it out though.
