Con Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 How is Nasri not in the French squad? Unbelievable. He would be one of the star players at the World Cup. Grenier has taken the spot. He better be good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cl%C3%A9ment_Grenier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 She just tweeted should of been Spanish, co sim sure if you can't get in Frances midfield you'd walk in to theirs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think Frances squad looks decent to be fair, not sure how they will set up though, forget nasri, griezmamn is the one I'd rather watch anyway, can only assume nasri has done a cole and refused to be in the reserves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Griezmann has been great for Sociedad this season. If I was picking the squad, I'd choose Griezmann over Nasri. Edited May 13, 2014 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think Clichy is a bit naff, but leaving Nasri out makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) He's miles better than Valbuena though. Definitely a bit of favouritism there. Thauvin would have been more interesting if a Marseille player had to be brought along, apart from Mandanda that is! Anyway, their squad does look strong, and quite young. Lloris Sagna Mangala Koscielny Evra Matuidi Ribery Cabaye Pogba Griezmann Benzema Is my guess.

AVFCforever1991 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Yeah agreed, Valbuena has been very average for Marseille this season, think he's only got 3 goals and 5 assist in 29 starts.. Would have taken Nasri instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 French squad looks good except for the defence, and I'm not sure if there are any real leaders there, of the Desailly, Blanc, Viera calibre. Certainly they have no Zidane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Is Varane in the squad? I'd start him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 The defence has varane and digne, both young but both look like potential world beaters, Sagna and Evra obviously have lots of experience but yeah sakho is the most capped CB with 16... Add in pogba and griezmann, they might not have a blanc, zidane, thuram, Henry in there yet but It looks like they've timed having a good team in time for their own tournament again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Greizmann is a beast. Imagine Barry Bannan, couple of inches taller playing as a striker and being good in the air. Have to say I've never heard of him before but based on this youtube video he could be a star of this World Cup. Nasri doesn't stand a chance against this fella, but what about that midfield spot... who is this Grenier and is he really better than Nasri?

villa4europe Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Greener probably won't start, CED seems about right to me, central midfield 3 of matuidi, psg a and cabaye, good solid midfield Question is do France need to be that solid vs Switzerland, Ecuador and Honduras? Probably could play kazzams midfield vs them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
