I thought he was a striker? I'd play him and Henry up front with Zidane in the hole.pierrot wrote:Wiltord is still an active player int he national team. He played all friendlies last year, but not this year´s Belgium-France one.
He also played most games in the confederation cup last summer.
His main problem is that you have plenty of very good french midfielders like Zidane, Pires, Makelele or Vieira to name just the best known ones.
I like Wiltord very much, already before his goal vs Italy in 2000
Football in Finland Europe and the World
he is considered as attacking midfielder in France, his "official" position is midfield in the french team. I know he was a great teammate with Henry in Arsenal, but he was slightly forgotten thereAce wrote: I thought he was a striker? I'd play him and Henry up front with Zidane in the hole.
Here in Finland, I have done everything I can to blend-in with the Finns, I've changed my hair color, wore differnet clothes, got different
I guess its because some people still can´t cope with the euro 2000´s semi-finalsajdias wrote:I see a Germany vs Spain final. Germany will win despicte the hoem crowd support for spain.
Otherwise I do hope France does not win. I have developed a strong dislike for those guys, don't know why

If Saha has a good run at United between now and then I think Wiltord will be on the bench. Arsenal aren't playing him much at all.pierrot wrote:he is considered as attacking midfielder in France, his "official" position is midfield in the french team.

that too.. but I remember a game France vs Bulgaria, 1993, do you? France was in the lead untill minute 87 (well close to the end) and could even afford to draw..pierrot wrote:I guess its because some people still can´t cope with the euro 2000´s semi-finals
the hero of the night (you say villain ), his name Kostadinov.. he was a Porto player and I was really proud of him.
And to be honest I've always found them a bit arrogant..
Me too... But I tended to dislike Bulgaria... I don't know whyI remember a game France vs Bulgaria, 1993

Germany do not have any good players there apart from Ballack. No strikers. Klose played well in the WC but I doubt he will do the business again. I cant see Germany doing well for a few years yet. I know you cant right off the Germans but I cant see them pulling a rabbit out of the hat this time around.
We all know about Spain, the greatest team never to win anything. Every time they qulify for a major tournament they are close to favourites and never fulfill their quality. Remember the WC getting knocked out by S Korea!!! And Ireland nearlly got past them.
Lol Germany's reached more finals than you've had hot dinners. They always look crap before the tournament and then they surprise everyone except the English its no surprise to us anymorepierrot wrote:Germany has nothing to counter France, they lost 3:0 vs France in a friendly not long ago. Compare Henry and Trezeguet to Neuville and Klose and you will know why.
You know they could hammer you if they ever got their act togetherpierrot wrote:I hope Holland will finally manage to get any disputes out of the team. They are missing a clear leader or captain and have too many "superstars".
Do not underestimate Germany. Those guys might not have big starts but they certainly know how to get their act together.. I am starting to forget things, didn't they get to the final in 02 without major stars?simon wrote:Thats a joke right ajdias

I don't really know who's going to win. This was more like a guess.. hey Ace isn't it about time to open a poll on this?

Paraguay
USA

Not exactly your Hollands or Argentinas are they. Just think if England hadnt thrashed them in Germany with that memorable night that all the brits loved it might have been England in the Final....
