    Any chance you could edit that post to make it actually readable, instead of a big mess of letters, please.

    Take out one keeper, take out a striker at least! Put Nasri in that midfield! :s

    Domenech is wacky!

    surprized benzema didnt make the squad but he wasnt a regular this season with real and he wasnt making the starting xi with france when he was playing with lyon.

    He really is. Ben Arfa played very little football this year and has notorious attitude problems.

    Was Henry better than Benzema this season?

    calling Domenech wacky is very kind.

    he's a lunatic.

    no Benzema and no Nasri is surely as comical as it gets.

    Four goalkeepers is an epic fail.

    Valbuena and Ben Arfa are midfielders. Gignac is a proven donkey and Briand... at least Gomis is not in there. I've honestly never yeard of Yann M'Vila. No surprises there then!

    France took him to a WC final.

    Diaby over Nasri. Oh dear. Unlucky Samir.

    France deserve all they get with this idiot in charge. He should be long gone. Beating Ireland was just prolonging the agony.

    Crazy not having Benzema in there, he must be a better option than Cisse and the rest of them.

    No nasri or Benzema is ridiculous. Sidney gouvou consistently makes the french squad but hes an average average player.

    Nasri must be seriously pissed off.

    Would it really have been so hard to add "ema"?

    Can't believe Cisse got in to the squad ahead of Benzema. Okay he scored 23 goals in 27 games in Greece (which is on par with the Scottish league IMO) but only against the weaker teams, he couldn't score against any of the top teams in that league.

    I would have liked to see Trezeguet coming out of international retirement and playing in a World Cup again.......but that was never going to happen with Domenech still in charge.

    Spanish have 5 in theirs.Nasri and Benzema probably should have been in the provisional squad but it's not like either will start, so if he wants to bring a young guy like M'Vila,it won't reallly matter.

    Or at least forced an atrocious pun like "France - solid engine but no Benz" or "wheels come off for Benz" or "Domenech picks squad based on his favourite Radiohead albums - no room for The Benz"...

    Half expected to see Louis Saha in there given he got called up for the Spain friendly.
