The French have completley imploded and Domenech has lost his entire dressing room. It's quite remarkable really and makes England woes seem rather less pronounced. For my part I actually agree with the French squad over this. Any man who thinks leaving Nasri and Benzema out of the squad is not right in the head.
The Brazil v Ivory Coast game was brilliant. Brazil deserved to win, of course, but I still cheered when the Ivory Coast got a goal, just because it was nice to see them go away with something. And it was a really good goal anyway. Shame it was all spoiled at the end with that dumb red card.
Keita collapsed to the pitch clutching his face minutes after Kaka had been cautioned. Keita was cheating, and the whole world knows it. Replays clearly showed Kaka's arm was nowhere near the Ivoirian's head, but the referee bought the entire act.
I missed the little twit rolling on the ground...all I saw was Kaka not making a foul....
The British tabloids have a delusion of England's grandeur (as well as all the sponsors with their overblown adverts), which does unfortunately rub off on the fans a little. Not so sure about the team, though.
