Looks like it was Blanc's choice. Seems a good idea, really, show them they're not invincible.
.......or we could actually use the game for something constructive, like playing the young players and getting them ready for the upcoming qualifersEngland should do the same
hes already said he'll play some of the younger players. i hope he sticks to his word, and more importantly i hope that if they struggle, the fans dont turn on them like the fickle people we areIt gives some of the younger french players a chance to show what they can do. I hope Capello takes note of this.

This would make a good FM story, trying to win the world cup with none of the French 23 that actually went XD

ive got to disagree with you on england fans, i think we can be incredibly fickle.I don't think the fans are fickle. We want to win, with the team we have we should['ve] been competing, especially in the World Cup so if Capello brings in young players nobody will expect instant success but qualification to the Euro's should be a minimum even. I mean our u-21 squad could get through our group.
