Sometimes I wonder what the deal is with Coupet. Two years back, he threatened to leave Lyon unless he got the deal he wanted.

I hope hope hope that he hasn’t gotten into a scuffle with Domenech because this is his only chance to play on the big stages for France. If he pisses off Ray enough, then he’ll be dropped.

Just ask Giuly. Or Chimbonda. Or Pires. Or…I could go on.

I knew something was up as soon as I saw three keepers on the callup list. No international team needs to call up three keepers!! So I’m saddened by this but not surprised, especially given the history between the two. But I really had hopes that he would be the NT keeper at least through Euro 08.

This is one of those times I wish I had fallen in love with the England team so I could read all the details in the tabloids.

Coupet still hasn’t signed an extension with Lyon, has he? Wonder what this means. (MLS, right? It means he’s coming to MLS, along with Claude Makelele. And, of course, Zidane.)

I flip flop on Domenech. I think his tactics suck, he doesnt get along with most of his players and he is such an arse when comes to calling up players when they dont want to be (makelele). But I like the direction he is moving the team in, with youth be integrated and shedding the WC winning side of 98 which have prolonged their careers to far. But Coupet has every right to not like Domenech, after the dumbass picked Barthez over him for the World Cup…that went well in the final pk shootout.

I thought they patched things up. Well I guess not.
