France is not a good team and will not be competitive for a long time to come. After the successes of the team which had Pires,Dessaily,Henry,Zidane,Vieira, etc., all other appearances after were regarded as "dissapointments" or upsets. Actually as the French say it themselves, these are not upsets. This IS the value of the French team atm. And more is not possible. The talent is there for sure but these players are not a team.
