Definitely nice to get out with a draw, considering the pressure at the end.
This is hilarious to me.
The French squad is one in transition, being reconstructed FOR the future. If they remove that ass Domenech, things will get better in a hurry.
If you look at the Italian NT, there are a bunch of players about to break into the squad. If you look at the Azzurrini, they are undeniably one of the top squads in Europe. Both these teams have a rich future ahead; it just may not be in time to produce the top quality results at WC 2010. Only time will tell.
