Surprised there is no thread about this game. It's currently in the first half, and Trez gave France the lead on 16 minutes, but Korea equalised through Ji-Sung Park in the 26th minute.

une victoire encourageante pour la france.

maybe france will pass the first round. fortunately.

some highlights :
france's midfield was great with vieira and petit: they ran a lot without the ball but managed to do 1 or 2 good passes.
in defense, leboeuf, especially was great, like thuram and desailly.
i just don't understand something : why lemerre decided to put wing back on each side and noone in the central defense ?
it's a shame karembeu missed the WC he deserves to be in starting XI.

are you kidding me fellow ?
The french performance was a disgrace. Leboeuf and djorkaeff should be expelled from the team, especially djorkaeff who didn't do anything good during the 60 minutes he played. You are praising the defense while they took 2 goals against an obscure team, i am sorry but france suck at the moment.
Watching this game was quite stressing at moment, and i couldn't believe my eyes sometimes. Zidane looked tired and out of shape for the 30 minutes he played, and i am effraid he got seriously injured, hopefully this is nothing serious.

En un mot quel mauvais match. Les francais se sont mis la pression tout seul " on doit gagner absolument " et au final ils ont failli passer a coté, franchement je suis un peu inquiet pour la suite des evenements. Si j'etais toi San_Siro_1 j'eviterai de parader sur tous les forums en criant haut et fort que la france va etre championne du monde car en cas d'elimination prématuré (qui semble tout a fait possible maintenant) je vois d'ici les quolibets en pagaille que ce forum recevra.

Obviously, yes.

You'll get accustomed to his "pince-sans-rire" humour very soon.

R.A.S. on France's performance. They sucked, period.

Ciao.

j'avais en effet senti une certaine ironie mais mal maitrisé malgré tout, mais il est vrai que je ne frequente plus guere le forum francais devant l'aridité des discussion . Mon interet pour le divin chauve m'a porté plus vers le forum du real madrid dernierement que sur le forum francais.
