France Call-Ups for Romania: Nasri and Flamini are left out

Saturday, 04 October 08, 01:36 PM

Raymond Domenech unveiled the list today for the WC qualifier vs. Romania and the friendly against Tunisia.

Biggest surprise for me? No Samir Nasri. Raymond’s reason? “Samir is back playing but he is still not fully fit.” And of course it has nothing to do with the fact that Yoann Gourcuff took that #10 role that was expected to be Samir’s and made it his own instead.

However, a good thing is: Franck Ribéry is finally back! And Patrick Vieira, who I think is too old to play, is in and Flamini is left out. Man what a bad decision! What is Domenech doing?

Hatem Ben Arfa is also on the list again, but he is nut fully fit, I think it's better if he will be replaced by Samir Nasri who is actually fit enough. Samir played well in the game Arsenal-Fc Porto.

Also Sidney Govou is left out as well, because Ribéry is in the house.

This is the full list:

Trezeguet is never gonna come back with les Bleus. And Flamini isnt "friend" with Domenech, so he not gonna play for a while...he'd be so much better in place of Toulalan...I cant stand toulalan...
