So France lost to Mexico. Before the game everyone expected France to bounce back and reclaim their status as one of the giants of Soccer world. However, France slid further down towards the abyss. It wasn't sad that they lost. Every team loses once in a while. Even FC Barcelona loses. What was really disheartening was to see the manner in which they lost. Body language shown by their whimsical coach Domenech, their players on the field and players on the bench was sufficient to show that this team neither deserves nor desires to win. Insulting tirade by Anelka against Domenech is just a symptom of some deeply rooted problems of 'Les Bleus'.
Can they win? Tactically no miracle is possible. Domenech has no damn clue. Even Zidane has said that "Domenech is not a coach." If there has to be a miracle, it has to come from players. In this situation, if there is any player who can do something remotely Zidanesque is 'Titi' Henry. But well, it's also too much of wishful thinking to assume that Mexico and Uruguay will play for a result.
