Just glad Raymond Domenech is finally gone. I don't care for Anelka anyways, so it was no big loss. But to lose control of your team in such a way. Then you have the players who refuse to train 2 days before a game that could put you into the next round? Not too bright. Laurent Blanc has a huge job ahead of him reshaping that sorry excuse of a program in time for Euro 2012.

Nice to see Diego Forlan (formerly of Manchester United) play well. Between Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, Chile and Argentina, five very tough South American squads, four of which could be in the Top 4 when all is said and done. Italy and England have been unimpressive, as has Portugal and Spain.
