Yeah, I know, but I speak absolutely no French, so it's as exact as I can be :)

It was the only thing they chanted other than Allez Les Bleus, so I thought someone may know what it was.

Ahaha - love the av/post combo.
I will apparently have to root for France, knowing next to nothing about the team during the cup due to a certain drunken bet, how do they compare to Germany, Italy, England?

France don't need Ribéry to make it through the group stage, but adding the fact that Grenier is out as well, they're not going to get past the round of 16. In any case, France played against Norway without either one of them, Valbuena and Griezmann on the wings and Matuidi, Cabaye and Pogba holding the midfield. They can be effective, but they haven't glued well enough to do great. I don't see Rémy in the starting 11 but who knows.

That's still a great midfield but with Valbuena and Griezmann on the wings, only Remy is left as a backup? Or is there anyone I'm forgetting?

Only Rémy and Griezmann can play the same role. Lacazette could've been a backup for the role but in the end he was ditched by Deschamps. Valbuena could take the position if it were absolutely necessary, but in that case I guess Deschamps would choose to change the formation completely.

I'm really happy for Schneiderlin that all these dropouts has meant that he's made the final squad. He's been Southampton's best player for at least the last three seasons and it's great that France is finally giving him some recognition. France has some good players in the center of midfield so I don't know if he'll get to play but he deserves to be there.

Oh they're bad alright, but that's why I was so shocked at the TV5Monde ones, they're actually noticeably worse.

Jamaica are pretty bad. I feel sorry for their keeper each time there's a closeup of him.

No idea, but he played on after the injury and was only taken off at half time.

edit: there were some rumors that he broke his tibia, but apparently it was bogus.

I was at this game tonight because I happened to be in Paris for a couple of days. There was a chant that the fans kept doing where they'd stand and jump up and down. Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the chant is in English?

Would it be this?

"Qui ne saute pas n'est pas francais", "those who don't jump aren't French".

There seems to be a stronger cohesion in the squad than in 2010.

Valbuena is pretty much the heart and soul of the team.

He used to get boos when les Bleus played in Paris (because of the PSG-OM rivalry) but now even Parisians like him.
