Every former colony likes to stick it to France, and the Togolese might do it this time

Reactions from www.goal.com ...

France coach Raymond Domenech: "We know the Swiss and did not beat them during qualifying. South Korea is a bad memory and we don’t know Togo."

Switzerland coach Kobi Kuhn: "We are confident that we have a real chance of qualifying from this group."

Togo coach Stephen Keshi: "There are no easy teams in the football world today but we’re happy with what we got."

South Korea coach Dick Advocaat: "We have three tough games and we have a veyr young team but it is maturing."

South Korea coach **** Advocaat

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

[BFC82]

Probably the group Im the least interested in, I have never been a fan of France (they annoy me). As for the rest, I dont care about.

[brehme1989]

My prediction for the group:
1) France
2) South Korea
3) Togo
4) Switzerland

Something tells me that the Swiss will have trouble in this one! Maybe FIFA is a bit pissed off after the Turkey incident and be very cruel with them. Togo will manage to get some points, and Korea will probably draw with France. The French will probably get all points here, since they have failed the Japanese/Korean tournament...

GO SWISS!

Tranquillo Barnetta & Valon Behrami lead the way for us I think. They will break out. Remember this team is comprised of alot of the team that won the U-17 or 19 or whatever tournament a few years back

[Adriano@10]

it was tghe u 17 euro!!!!
and yeah barnetta is a great player ( did u know he s a great interista???)

great to see another swiss fan! im in the minority here. my family has italian swiss roots so i support them right there with the italians!

Barnetta is so great I do hope he comes to Inter along with Valon who has been very impressive in Lazio.

Degens are great too and Senderos is a rock! Vonlathan needs to progress more IMO

On the barnetta thing i realy hope he comes here as a sub fore Deki thsi ore next season!!!
he s just a great winger and also says in each interview that he s dream is to wear the Inter shirt

[InterMilan31]

that would be awsome he deffintly has the talent. Him and Behrami who has done well at Lazio and has attrachted Real's interest! They are going to be great for the Swiss the next 5-10 years Chiumento too if he can progress a bit more

[UhUhOleguer]

Strikers: Djibril Cisse (Liverpool), Thierry Henry (Arsenal), Franck Ribery (Olympique Marseille), Louis Saha (Manchester United), David Trezeguet (Juventus), Sylvain Wiltord (Olympique Lyon).

[Handoyo]

Maybe he's watching tapes of last season, not this one.

[UhUhOleguer]

Maybe he's watching tapes of last season, not this one.

well...then it's even more not understandable, how Giuly is not in, but Saha is.

Seriously..the guy is on crack. I can't believe it.
Screw the French Football Federation as a whole and Domenech as a person.

I hope Lemerre and Tunisia pay them big time in the 2nd round. This group is too easy to miss out.

[shahz_nerazzurri]

DDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHAAAAA

Domenech made my day. Boumsong and Silvester in the team, and Mexes who has been in such great form this season out. HHHHAAAAHAHAAA. You just cant laugh enough at that. I think he has a big problem with Mexes.

And also in attack, preffering Cisse over Guily and Gouov.

Wrost of all, not picking Pires in the team, just cause he had a fight with him 2 years ago.

I hate coaches who prefer thier own interests ahead of their NTs. I hope Switzerland and Korea, knock France out

[Hammoudi]

Is Mexes being punished for his disrespectful comments towards that well-respected ex-coach of Auxerre? Or is it because he defied his club and the French federation by signing with Roma?

Anyway, it's their loss! Anyone with a decent brain knows how Boumsong tanked with Newcastle this year and how well Mexes was with Roma.
