I came close to picking Uruguay instead of SA out of this group in my
RSS WC pool becuase of their striker pairing, but I chickened out the
last minute. I think I might have made a mistake.

It's Domenech, it's not unfathomable he only said that to troll the
press. Whatever he says would be given exactly zero credit, why not
just make a farce of it and have a private joke.

From the pregame chattery, the team want Diaby in and Gourcuff out.
Evidently they made compromise and Malouda lost out.

Ridicolous yellow card awarded thanks to a olympic dive ..

A bit later the French goalkeeper went wandering out of the stadium
holding the ball and the linesman didn't think he could award a

Promising start :)

Evra committed the foul. The Uruguayan made a meal of it, but Evra
committed the foul which will get a yellow card 99 times out of 100.

No excuses.
