andre.jpgHello, I'm French and very disappointed by the Football french team behaviour! Their behavior is ridiculous and it's a shame for all French people!

It's not a team but only an addition of individualities and there is no manager!

The World Cup is not a national championship but the most important football tournament and each national team must show the best "image" of the country which he represents.

I think that our football team don't represent FRANCE because most of them play in different EU countries.

The players of our FRANCE Football Team must be selected only in the French Football League 1 and in the future I hope that all the players will sing proudly our National Anthem "La Marseillaise".

This afternoon I'll give all my support to the Bafana Bafana.

    André, I agree with you. I think the world cup is a important tournament to celebrate the peace and ethical values. I'm brazilian. Here, the football is really significant and this behavior make us sad. I wish the french football recovers, preferably it does not happen against Brazil.

    Hello Andre !
    It's a pity what happened with France this World Cup and I understand your feelings and the sadness of your people.
    I pray that our team never lose their love for our country keeping in mind that, in this Championship, our flag is more important than anyother thing.

    Cheers
    Silvia

    Hi Andrè:

    I am very acording with you, I and all the mexicans each World Cup felling it, our team has not shown enthusiasm, I may to say that all Mexico supports the soccer, you and anyone can see in the transmition of TV many mexicans in the stadiums, with all and that the team mexican is not very good, the mexican people will be following to the soccer team, how you says in our country the economic situation is not good, I don't like that our team is not reciprocal with this affection. May be the next sunday the mexican team can give us a joy, one for many sadnesses...

    Hi Andrè,

    I disagree with you about only players playing at French Football League 1 selected for National Team because we are living in the age of globalization, they can play anywhere as long as they are enthusiastic and proud to be a part of the team when playing for their national team.

    Hi Andre, I totally agree with you as your french team didn't give what we expected as well as the arguments between players eachtohers.

    It was a shock that we see the french team leaves from the first round in the world cup. To be honest they didn't play well at all, there were a lot to be done but, they didn't do their best. On the other hand, South Africa played so good game but unfortunately they have been knocked out too.

    Hi everyone! Our national football team never used to play in championships like world cup or euro cup... So you can imagine, how do I feel yourself... Sometimes I think that our team never qualify for exiting, amazing competitions like FIFA World Cup... 8-(

    Hi Andre!

    I agree with you, the player's behaviour is childish. But you said "The players of our FRANCE Football Team must be selected only in the French Football League 1", I disagree with you because Manager of team would select best players, although they play anywhere!

    Hi Andre!
    In my case I am a supporter from Chilean team that today has lost 3-0 against Brazil...
    On my modest opinion the French team need to begin a new procces from the very beginning.
    Best wishes!!

    Andre have to be very very upset and I understand him but I think that when a french football player leaves France and goes to another important european football club in order to increase, play the most important tournaments like champions leage, and of course, to win a bigger ammount of money, this fact doesn´t change the national feelings or the patriotism of those players. They learn to compete in the elite and that is positive for french team.

    Even if a player doesn´t have a strong national feeling, he can be very competitive. For example in Spain there are diferent cowntries and maybe ther are some different feelings in the team (for example when Barcelona wins they show the flag of catalonia in the celebrations) but all of them are together doing their best and as you know, they succeed winning the last european cup.

    hi mr ?
    Yes, that France's exit from the World Cup in this manner is frustrating painful and disappointing,
    and that it is not only bad for France, but also a disservice to the sport in general ,,,,,,,,
    but also regrettable to say that this team is not France, because I smelled rest of racism at this point and also not be Intervention of politicians, France, French nationals sports undergone a
    difficult and could elect to restore balance.
    ; Not exclude ego players who are French nationals Vdilo personal circumstance must defend the reputation of the French team I hope compatibility and calm as soon as possible
    this crisis will make french team more stronger be trustful and keep your eye on future
    2- i think the coach has a big responsibility cuz the french team dnt give real soccer from the first way to going to SA i mean "handball goal "with irlaned
    """"""""This team had not been prepared as required and assumes that the French coach"""
    my best regards
    shadi , syria, damascus
    And take care of the future
