Damn, some of the names in the reserve list could make the roster for some team. Missing is PAyet and Koscielny.

[Rockman]

Impressive list of strikers, some of the players not chosen would have been starters elsewhere.
France problem will likely be picking a well-integrated unit.

[Rockman]

Did I miss something, or is it you just being delusional again?
You wish that is the case.

[USAF]

I guess MLS knew something was going on in France, why they partnered with the FFF to help develop & run the MLS academy coaching license, a few years ago, and it seems to be helping.
