I saw France Vs The Faroe Islands there on Setanta and France were absolutley terrible.
Did anyone else see it? I can't remember the French putting in a single tackle in midfield and the amount of space they gave the Faroes was amazing.
Has anyone seen France play anyone else recently? Was this display typical?
the faroes cud b a stumbling block for us nxt month even though france are a shadow of their former selvesQuote:

They can still field Pires and Rothen on the wings with any two of Henry/Cisse/Saha/Trezeguet up front. While they're shaky at the back, at some stage their attacking talent willclick, here's hoping it takes another game or two though.
I don't think so. The Faroes were very strong anf fit. They were well able to keep up with the pace of the game and they did a lot of running.Quote:

I don't know if this is typical of France or not but the game was definatley a case of France playing badly and the Faroes making up for a lack of skill by doing an awful lot of running.
