France? Those surrender monkeys? They won't even make it past the… oh, excuse my manners, and welcome to the

ÉQUIPE NATIONAL DE FRANCE DE FOOTBALLmegathread
(French for Surrender Monkeys)
(Also known as Les Bleus because they are a sad team to watch sometimes)



A squad that has known honor (once) and shame (in many occasions), France is traveling to Brazil after a horribly sad bunch of games trying to qualify. France is not a team to do well in South America: From the 5 world cups in the continent south of the American Pigs and their garbage culture, France has barely played in two (1930 and 1978), and in both cases they left the tournament empty-handed and humiliated by Argentina, Chile and Italy, those greasy bastards.
But as we all know, surrender monkeys will always get their revenge, and they did when the French Maradonapelé, Zidane, captained France to a World Cup Victory in 1998. This apotheosis wasn't meant to last though. 2002 was a sad cup for the cheese eating nation, losing to powerhouses such as Denmark and Senegal.
2006, the return to Europe, felt like a change. Perhaps France would shine again. It was Zizou's last World Cup and he was still hungry for glory. Sadly he got provoked by a sneaky Italian, who insulted his mom's Arabic bread. Zidane headbutted the cheating greasy Italian to death and that was it. Throwing an amazing career to the garbage because some guido tells you he'd love to go visit your sister at the dawa? But I digress.
Sure, the smelly armpit nation has had up and downs, but maybe this year they will do better.
No. They won't. They're garbagemen conducted by a wasteman. Let's better see who they are.

Didier Deschamps — Manager

Truly a wasteman, but he helped Juventus, those bastard pizza eaters, go back to the Serie A. He's not horrible really, but he's not good either. At least he doesn't care about astrology so????

Hugo Lloris — Keeper

A sexy Frenchman, the captain of the team and the keeper at a team that loves money, said Hugo in a jeweshly manner.

Mickäel Landreau — Keeper

The Bastia keeper. He's already 35. Won't play a single game.

Bacary Sagna — Defender

Arsenal Manchester City player. You know him and his funky hair.

Mathieu Debuchy — Defender

Haha, Newcastle are a funny team.

Mamadou Sakho — Defender

I'm inclined to believe many of the TRP posters love him. I got him some 20 times for my sticker album so I think he'll do fine in Brazil.

Laurent Koscielny — Defender

Yet another player who sometimes starts for an English team. He could've stayed with the Polish team, but he did a reverse Perquis because no one wants to play for Poland really.

Raphaël Varane — Defender

Simeone wants to kill him.

Patrice Évra — Defender

Love him or hate him, he's Évra and he will go and talk to the ref about stuff.

Yohan Kebab — Midfielder

Hehe.

Blaise Matuidi — Midfielder

He's been playing for PSG for a while now as the token black player.

Moussa Sissoko — Midfielder

Haha Newcastle.

Paul Pogba — Midfielder

Everyone loves Paul Pogba. Except the Front National.

Clément Grenier — Midfielder

Great player stuck at a not-good team. When he's good, he's great.

Mathieu Valbuena — Attacker

Valbuena has a big head. He's good.

Loïc Rémy — Attacker

Something something Newcastle.

Frank Ribéry — Attacker

The face of a criminal and the legs of an artist, he's great and talks like a moron.

Antoine Griezmann — Attacker

He plays for Real (Sociedad).

Karim Benzema — Attacker

A big foreign myth who was great in France and terrible everywhere else.

Olivier Giroud — Attacker

A lovely foreign myth who was great in France and terrible everywhere else. All of the French gay pictures have something to do with him. It's weird.

Luckily for this bunch of self-centered idiots, football is dead, so they got a really easy group full of poo poo garbagemen:



There you go. No Gourcuff, no Gignac, no Nasri. This is a team with drama. This is a team with ego clashes. This is France.

Our defense is garbage tbh our only remotely good defenders are Elyonoussi (not here) and to some extent Høgli but he's getting old and worse every game, also has to play on the left instead of his natural right. Since we also have zero strikers that can score goals I don't know why France wanted to play us right before the WC.

Don't worry, we did that long before moving away from hoofball. Started with the amazing keeping mistakes against Greece/Turkey in the qualifiers all those years ago, got worse from that.

Nice shot by Giroud though, when gifted the chance.

Well he was literally just standing still for the entirety of the first half, but he can finish when given the chance.

Looks like the French coach recognized that we're complete dogshit on defense and the solution to killing the game was just not letting us have the ball ever, cue second half bumming.
