deschamp should be back to the NT.

 

[Elnur_E65]

Yeah, and Michel Platini should also be back

 

[Azzurri7]

:LOL:

 

[Juno]

bad decision by Thuram imho, he's 33 ffs, how will he be able to keep up on all fronts?

 

[Azzurri7]

I'm quite sure Thuram wont Return, unlike what Zidane said.

 

[ashwin]

lol desailly to be back too?

 

[Daddi]

hope Thuram doesn't return, but I guess he will.

Unless Petit is back

Thuram will indeed come out of international retirement, Capello confirmed it today.

 

[Bjerknes]

Not good for Juventus. Not good at all.

You share the same feelings as Capello.

 

[Stu]

I do as well.

 

[JCK]

It is true actually for a player with his age, not to forget how essential he is for Juventus.

The France NT is starting to look like Kiss with all this "reunion tour" spirit going around.

I can't wait to see Thuram breathe fire and Zidane spit blood.

Just as long as they don't do it wearing spandex outfits exposing their aging, paunchy midriffs.

 

[Marion]

I think they have mid-aged crisis... Besides Zidane already has some hair extinction
Let the old men play then eveyone would be winner maybe not the score but who wouldn't like to see living legend in action!

 

[JRulez]

yeah, leave them to it but there's something strange about all these players returning in the twilight of their careers to take on even greater playing demands, maybe capello is planning to use thuram sparingly next season, unlikely as it seems, he may have a new centre back up his sleeve!

Brian Kerr, manager of the Republic of Ireland international football team, has reacted to France's recent reactivation of Makelele, Zidane and Thuram with a few recalls of his own. The midfield will see a boost with both Leeds legend Johnny Giles and former Arsenal and Juventus star Liam Brady coming back into the international fold.

"Ye, de bleedin French, they only went and brought back Zidane and Male... Makellee... that Chelsea lad, so I taut dat we wud need some bleedin reinforcements too. I gave Johnny and Liam a call, and dey were mad up for it," said Kerr, when asked for comment, before pouring water on rumours that Paul McGrath would be making a come-back too, "Paul, I've bin havin a bit of trouble findin Paul. Someone saw him in a bar in Waterford, but I'm not bleedin arsed chasin him down dere. We'll make do with Richard Dunne."

=======================

I'm rather looking forward to the French game now. I can't see them playing like a co-ordinated team on this notice. Quality tells, but so does age. Keane can handle Zidane, and Makelele's no threat. At worst, he'll keep Kilbane quiet, which is not exactly hard. Thuram could be more of an issue, but I don't think it'll make much real difference.

They're not coordinated, haven't been for a long time. Can't even remember the last match they won, was it England at Euro04? :dontcare:

I assume they've beaten the Faroe Islands or Cyprus at this stage in the group. They haven't beaten anyone even half decent since... well, I guess it depends on what you think of England.
