FRANCE OH FRANCE

September 8th, 2007 | by akula |

Watched the opening game France VS Argentina last night. Well, shit happens. France playing in front of its home crowd fumbled and lost. I am not taking anything from the Pumas. They deserved to win. 17-12. What a letdown anyway. Home ground advantage yes, but we are also talking about pressures from the whole French nation.

“It is a massive disappointment,” said France skipper Raphaël Ibañez.
“The Argentinian defence was fantastic, and they were able to slow down the ball.
“We still have three games to go in this group, and we will have to work even harder.
“The expectation on us for this first game was enormous, and we weren’t tough enough to deal with that.”
Laporte added: “The pressure was a big thing in the game.

The mighty Cabal was not so mighty after all.

I am looking forward for the next match. Hope the same thing wont happen to All Blacks.

    Just like how they made the All Blacks choked in 1999, they choked here.

    And the Pumas has a good track record against ‘Le Bleu’. 5 wins out of the last 6 games. They’ve got themselves a Boogie Team here.

    But I really hope that ‘Le Bleu’ will top group D. I don’t want 2 of favorite teams to meet at the Quarter final.

    France is France. You just can’t Predict them.

    All Blacks vs Italy = Did the Italian send the under 20 squad? I think Japanese did better against Australia (first Half - then they ran out of gas)

    There I was thinking that Les Bleus would be the dark horse. Well, there’s still 3 more group games left yet. How about Namibia that day against Ireland though eh?? :) Have a great World Cup!!
