Germany will also play Israel on May 31 before the final 23 players fly out to Germany's base for the competition in Gdansk on June 4.

[big_barz]

the previsional foreign twelve - Clichy, Kaboul Koscielny, Mexes, Rami, Evra, Malouda, Cabaye, Nasri, Benzema, Ribery, Ben Arfa.

Ligue 1-ers next week. wonder who's gonna get shot from the final squad. Kaboul/Koscielny/Sakho. some wingers and CM's will be pissed too.

[The Somalian]

Ben Arfa back in the squad

[O Fenomeno]

Clichy, Malouda FFS

/

Blanc knows his 23 but hasn't got a clue who are his midfield three

[big_barz]

neither do I tbh. even the absolutely essential M'Vila could potentially be replaced by Matuidi on the back of this league season.and the two in front of him is a even bigger headache. that sh*t will probably take 20% from their potential, should have been solved long time ago, at least a couple certainties but no, ffs.

[O Fenomeno]

That would be a big mistake replacing M'Vila with Matiudi

I wonder what Toulalan has done to piss Blanc off

/

Prandelli will announce the 30 man squad on Sunday. He basically confirmed today that Di Natale, Balotelli and Cassano will be in the final squad.

[Young £]

Clichy has been excellent since Jan

word

[Mr. Gayle]

So was Denmark's in 1992
