Who's worse, England or France?

sorry for the last few days, i was away and unable to blog but I'm back and.....well, a bit disappointed, we all like to see the underdog achieve against the odds, but do we like to see them ALL achieve against the odds?

Over the past few days, other than England's dismal display against the 'might' of Algeria, the farcical France team has been a soap opera worthy of WWE! he argues, he's told to go home, the squad revolt (careful boys, last time you had a revolution, the guillotine was used more than enough) and won't train (it's like they've just given up, history repeating itself), it's great fun to watch them implode.

After winning the trophy on home soil in '98, 4 years later as holders they infamously exited at the first round without a win yet 4 years ago, a Zidane inspired team only missed out on lifting the trophy again as Zidane had a err....dizzy spell!?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAjWi663kXc so this is a team that forever fluctuates from tournament to tournament but to say there was harmony going into the competition is a huge understatement, knowing the players had grown disillusioned under Domenech it was announced before a ball was kicked that former player Laurent Blanc would take over, how can players show respect and passion for someone they know is being forced to leave? surely this proves they should of installed the new manager before their first game.......but if you ask an Irishman, this is all karma.

It's just a shame the players will be flying home so soon as England may need the same flight.

And as the tournament goes on, the footballers are still moaning about playing at altitude and the Jublani! yet Peter Crouch always plays at altitude and Lance Armstrong was able to win the Tour De France with a dodgy ball!
