1 goal behind Zico now and still only 24. He's going to pass Pele as their leading ever scorer. 

Had a look at some of their records, they're obviously not one for sentiment, Robinho 99 caps, Ronaldo 98, Ronaldinho 97...

laporte finally called up by france

laporte, varane, umtiti at the back, lloris got another 6/7 years in him, pogba, kante, kondogbia, coman, griezmann, martial...

they really should be winning something in the next 10 years

France have best under 25 generation in world football by a mile imo...you missed out Zouma, Nabil Fekir and Ousmane Dembele aswell to show how ridiculous their talent pool is! The Dembele at Celtic could also be another one...

What amuses me though is they've still called up Gignac. Does Deschamps want a civil partnership with him or something. :lol:

Mbappe, Augustin and particularly Ousmane Dembele are massive talents also!

It seems that Rigobert Song has had a 'cerebral attack' and is unconscious in a Cameroon hospital.  I assume 'cerebral attack' is another way of saying a stroke but am not sure.

Quote

But it is so very Fifa, and so very in keeping with the gigantism that infects modern football (see also Euro 2016, Fifa’s endless spin-off tournaments, Uefa’s Champions League mission creep) that, instead of ditching the idea and sticking with 32, Infantino has instead proposed expanding to 48 teams.

Not only that but in proposing 32 teams play off to enter the group stages he gives rise to the ludicrous prospect of 16 sides flying in from around the globe to play a solitary match before heading home again. Each of those sides would have to budget and plan for a potential stay of several weeks, bringing all their players to the host country for a pre-tournament training camp with all the attendant hype, before turning around and heading home after one game.

48 team world cup? FFS....
