Saint-Denis, Stade de France, September 7, 2007
In front of a packed Stade de France architect as Argentina beat France on the score of 17-12 . A team from France who was never able to overcome, both physically, technically and tactically the same Argentine Pumas. The Argentine
true to their reputation.
Team Pumas was true to his reputation, always at the limit of offside, catchy and tough, the forwards led by Argentine Augustin Pichot were all winners in the fighting Friday night. Do not let go during the 80-minute game, the Argentines were left in a register that some describe as "small arms", but that was the least effective.
The efficiency more than high flown, but in a tournament such as the World Cup, you better be effective when grandiose hopes to qualify for the final phase.
A France team grabbed by the throat.
First of game the Cougars imposed their game to the Blues, taking literally the men of Captain Ibanez throat. The team from France was only a shadow of itself: always losing all the duels before, not being able to attack at first hand, with three quarters yet experienced. A hinge that goes completely off his game, a Mignoni under the influence of psychological Pichot feared in the register of brainwashing, a Skrela who did not show once it was in competition.
And the fundamentals?
Much more than the overwhelming hinge fronts or three quarters, it is better to compile an inventory of the game blues this Friday.
What emerges from the game team France is above all a fundamental breach of our sport:
- conquests insecure.
- a defense at bay.
- no belief in retrieving balls.
- An attack that often forgets his deep placement.
- balloons too often made to the opponent.
- Etc, etc. ...
Spectators and supporters XV of France we Today more than disappointed, we just spent 80 minutes before we piss off the screen, the game offered tonight by the team of France does not match its international standing.
However, the Argentines have delivered a game more than correct, true to their reputation, their game
