To say that canto will have taken the place of djorkaeff is an ultimate stupidity. These two players would have made a fantastic pair in the midfield. Cantona, Djorkaeff, Pedros/Martins/Zidane & Loko (Ginola) Who needs guerin, deschamp, karembeu in the same team?? Is this "la ligne MAGINOT" or what?? Particularly when you have Desailly behind. I think jacquet should drink one or two bottle of champagne next time he'll make the french team. It might help him to come up with a sparkling team.
