I havent seen this posted up anywhere but the French side has been named for the Faroes match, from football.guardian.co.uk

Team: 23-Gregory Coupet, 19-Willy Sagnol, 15-Lilian Thuram, 2-Jean-Alain Boumsong, 5-William Gallas, 6-Claude Makelele, 4-Patrick Vieira, 7-Florent Malouda, 10-Zinedine Zidane, 9-Djibril Cisse, 12-Thierry Henry

No Wiltord, will this be a pointer for the Ireland game?

Good to see Boumsong getting a start, lets hope he keeps up his form from the Man Utd game! :D

Possibly, but that looks like a 4-3-1-2 formation, with our wingers, I can't see Domenech playing that formation against us

France should win by a hockey score. 5-0 or something like that.

what the difference between 4-2-3-1 and the 4-3-1-2 formation ?

Is the match being streamed over the internet anywhere ?

4-2-3-1 has two holding midfielders, 2 wide wingers and a player "in the hole" behind the main striker, it's probably more accurate to describe it as 4-2-2-1-1

4-3-1-2 is four across the back, 3 central midfielders, one player "in the hole" and 2 strikers.

Basically in 4-3-1-2 the midfield 3 play further up the pitch than the midfield 2 in 4-2-3-1

Its on Sky Sports 1 in the UK, however I don't fancy my chances of
walking into an English pub and asking them to switch the England match
off so that I can watch Ireland!!! However the are one or two Irish pubs
which should be screening it.

pain in the arse sometimes, the amount of times i have gone into an 'irish' bar in glasgow in the hope they would show ireland instead of scotland :rolleyes: . Generally i get a strange look, which i follow with a snappy " well you're SUPPOSED to be an 'irish bar...." :mad:
Will be heading out early tomorrow to make sure i find a pub in time that is showing it....... :ball:

Glasgow is in my experience one of the worst cities in Britain in trying to find a place to watch Ireland games. Most "Irish" bars will show Scotland games instead. Waxys normally shows Ireland games when Scotland are playing. I watched the Swiss game here when Scotland were playing. Decent atmosphere that night too. It might be the best bet for tomorrow. I'll probably be there, so if you hear someone shouting at the screen with a Brummie accent - say hello :D

cheers junior, but i would go there in desperation after trying all the other pubs, but i try not to as it is very small, is on the edge of where the east end sort of starts :eek: , very smoky :mad: and all these old men start talking sh!te to you and interrupting the game :mad: I watched gaa in there once as well as an irish game but would prefer a bigger place (so not as smoky), plenty of screens, waxy's is ideal. have watched gaa in molly malone's recently, they have started showing it.

I've just found out that an Aussie style pub called 'Walkabout' in Nottingham
on Friar Lane will be screening it :)
Good on the Aussies! They love their sports, they will be showing the England
match too but it's a big pub with loads of screens and two seperate areas
so it should be good, best news I have had all week.
I will getting a few pints of Aussie lagar down too :D as well as the guinness
of course ;)
