And there's no room at the inn for Bacary and Clichy. The full list is below, and you must feel for our two top performers. It's either a case of the French team so overflowing in its riches or a case of Domenech being a twit. One less reason for me to watch the French team this time round. On the bright side though, I suppose this means they will both be much fresher than their mates in August.
How there can be space in any team for a Boumsong, and not for a Sagna or Chichy is beyond me. There's no room for Diaby too, but that's a little (just a little) bit more understandable.

You gotta admit tho, the first 11 is seriously strong.
The reserves, on the other hand, look like a bunch of twits.
so i'd still be completely biased and rank the brilliant Spanish ahead of them ! :)
