I was enjoying to see them strugling

What can I say? It will take another goalless campaign for France in the first round of the WC to seal Zidane and Makelele permanently.

martin numero uno should be happy.

also my roomate.

 

[Elnur_E65]

WHy? Martin numero uno likes France? Or he is a Zidane fan?

 

[Stu]

That's wonderful news for the French. They may not be as youthful as they once were, but Makelele and Zidane are still world class players.

yeah, as far as i know.

I knew Zidane would return one day,

 

[JRulez]

can't help but feel it's a backward step, sure they're great players but I think it's wrong to turn your back on your country then come crawling back, but if the french are cool with it then it's ok I guess

 

[Elnur_E65]

What is it? The French are re-building the squad that brought them glories in 1998 and 2000?

It's been too long. That team is gone. You just have to build a new one.

 

[Espectro]

Thuram will be back too

And you think it's good news?

Let's pray he doesn't brake anything (let alone he is strengthening the team).

 

[Azzurri7]

Nah, I don't think Thuram will be back.

 

[Elnur_E65]

He did say he's coming back.

 

[Azzurri7]

when was that?

and Btw If he really make his return then this is getting silly...

 

[Elnur_E65]

Not only silly

Zidane and co need to visit the "stupid, stupid, stupid" thread.

Thuram to follow Zidane's lead
Thursday 4 August, 2005

Zinedine Zidane has revealed there is "no doubt" that Juventus defender Lillian Thuram will also return to the French national team.

Zidane announced his and Claude Makelele's intention to rejoin Les Bleus on Wednesday, and confirmed on Thursday that fellow veteran Thuram would be following suit.

The former Monaco and Parma right-back memorably catapulted France into the 1998 World Cup Final by scoring both goals in the 2-1 semi-final victory over Croatia - still his only international goals.

However, like Zidane and Makelele, Thuram quit the national team in the wake of harsh criticism following a disappointing Euro 2004 campaign.

Thuram is currently France's second-most capped player having made 103 appearances for Les Bleus, level with former skipper Didier Deschamps and 13 behind record-holder Marcel Desailly.

same here now we will see them be good again. Thuram also will play for le blös too.

 

[Elnur_E65]

I guess the only good thing would be if Thuram cought up with Marcel Desailly. Which is not unrealistic.
