Amazing how this French team has come together starting with the second leg comeback in the playoffs. They look poised for a deep run now.

Really? I hadn't heard that actually.

Can you guys hope for a strippogram to knock on my door, as your hopes seem to become reality.

Yeah he has, i'm willing to give him a chance, he has to be better than what we have struggled with last season
Goodness me, how vulnerable do Switzerland look at the back from set pieces?
Wasn't the goal Ecuador scored against them from a free kick?

You may want to recalculate that goal average.
That's 12 goals in 2 and a bit games at this ground. Gotta say that the keeper was poor for the 2nd one.

Just double-checked to make sure I wasn't just imagining it and indeed he has. Link.
I'm not sure if France will win this tournament but they're looking promising and are building towards the Euros which are at home for them next time round. They could well be favourites for that.

Ah, cheers. I've been out of the loop with anything non World Cup related recently.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Its looking like they'll be meeting one from Bosnia, Iran, or Nigeria in the next round. You'd fancy their chances against any of that lot, especially the latter 2.
France really hit the jackpot with the group they were drawn in, didn't they?
They scraped into the World Cup by the skin of their teeth and got the softest draw possible from the pot they were in, now they are taking full advantage.
If France continue their bizarre rollercoaster of performances in recent World Cup tournaments over the past 20 years, I wouldn't be surprised if they reached the final.
