L Diarra normally performs well for the NT and has been called up more than A Diarra and Flamini. Nasri will get more time on the A’ team. And Escude can play as LB and CB, so he’s very flexible.

Wait, Escude over Mexes or Squillaci, what the hell are you thinking?

Lassana Diarra over Alou Diarra or Flamini? Nasri on the A team? What is this…

Lyon players (and ex Lyon players!) make up the bulk of Domenech’s A team. Only two lyonnais are on the A’ team:

Les A face à l’Espagne: Coupet, Landreau – Sagnol, Clerc, Thuram, Gallas, Escudé, Abidal, Evra – Toulalan, Makelele, L. Diarra, Vieira (cap) – Govou, Anelka, Henry, Benzema, Malouda, Ben Arfa.

Les A’ face à la RD Congo: Lloris, Mandanda – Sagna, Boumsong, Squillaci, Mexes, Givet, Clichy – Flamini, A. Diarra, Nasri, Diaby, Rothen – Briand, Cissé, Ménez.

Oops, it was my mistake. He didn’t score against Nigeria but against Guinea. Thanks for pointing that out, lefutur.
