French media reporting Nasri not starting. :-?

M'Vila to the rescue for France n my fantasy team, so far only Dzagoev has had a strong game two.

M'vila still won't start apparently. Prolly not fully in shape yet.

Nasri's moving a notch back and taking the central midfield spot from Malouda, and Jeremy Menez will start on the right wing.

Interesting move, Menez is loaded with talent and had a strong season, but he can be inconsistant as hell. Sometimes he holds on the ball too much, and he has some brainfarts here and there, but his dribbling moves are off the charts, and he's developed a good passing game.

What the fork?? Can't play in the rain?

I guess it was coming down really hard, lots of standing water

This is really, really bad.

Correct decision to suspend the match for now.

That's no rain, that's the Great Flood. It looks like someone's hosing the stadium from the sky.

I liked the guy wearing nothing but underpants with his arms and legs in the air like a dog scratching his back.

Come on Shevchenko! Turn back the clock one last time, then take a break in the next game

TheRealistGM · Post #133 » by **TheRealistGM** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:02 pm

will the second game be delayed a bit too?

treiz · Post #134 » by **treiz** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:15 pm

I don't think it will, I believe it's played in different stadiums. Should've already dealt with the weather issues by now.

Shevchenko's movement reminds of his prime years, just a joy to watch

Match will be delayed 15 minutes.

treiz · Post #137 » by **treiz** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 6:03 pm

Delayed until 8pm GMT

Shevchenko looking great, causing the French back four all kinds of trouble, even though he's by himself most of the time

TheAdmiral · Post #138 » by **TheAdmiral** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 6:07 pm

**** Menez.

Game. Cabaye

TheAdmiral · Post #140 » by **TheAdmiral** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 6:10 pm

That should do it.

Which two teams will advance?
