[QUOTE="mirlos, post: 156916"] If I was French, I would be absolutely ****** OFF with Laporte (I am a little bit, even though Im an Argie!). Its impossible to win a World Cup in any sport if you team is playing insecure, and thats exactly what Laporte did to the French squad. Constantly changing players in key positions (using Heymans and Traille as fullbacks, when Poitrenaud was on the bench, changing fly halves every single game, letting Vincent Clerc, maybe the best French player during the whole competition, in the bench against Argentina for almost 60 minutes). IMO, coaches have 1 game, maybe 2, to find the team in this kind of competition, if you start making experiments every half hour, this will be the result. France had players to win this RWC, but Laporte made far too many mystakes. :( PS: Im really happy about Argentina´s WC. [/QUOTE]
