[QUOTE="MlleJuju, post: 550583, member: 59648"] It really is a horrible emotional rollercoaster to be a supporter of the French Team. After the brilliant November wins, we finally hoped that our team acquired some stability, and they planted big dreams in our heads. And then this happens. Two unexplained losses. And it just KILLS us to see how clueless they've been in these matches, when they were so brilliant a few months ago! I was talking with an English friend and he was saying how "tame" and "unpatriotic" he thought French supporters are. It's true, and that's because we know that we can't trust being happy with our team, because some ridiculous loss is bound to happen straight after a good win. It's very sad, but unfortunately true. In this tournament though, it is very obvious that there is an underlying issue. I'm not saying that Italy and Wales didn't play well, I'm saying there is something very wrong going on in the French team. Too many injured players, no preparation time, and players who are not playing at their usual positions. I'm hoping this chaos will be constructive and help them sort everything out for the RWC. I'm tempted to say that, knowing the French, they will take these losses personally, look for revenge and will produce a great match against England. However, this time, I feel like there are real underlying problems, and that we might actually end up with wooden spoon. Anyway, Que sera sera. Allez les Bleus. [/QUOTE]
