There is no excuse for keeping him off this team. He has proven his worth over the past ten years. Unless, he did not want to be a 'bench' player and wanted to be a starter. If anything, this should be the year to keep Trezeguet on the team so he can redeem himself from the world cup. If I was coach, I would start him for a couple of games, if he does not produce, then bench him.

He had some issues on and off the field and Jacquet wanted no part of that. I think this is when he switched gears and started conceiving a team centered around Zidane instead of Cantona. I guess I just look at this as Trezeguet's last major international competition. Just as I thought it was a shame to leave behind Pires and Giuly back in '06. We talk about a pecking order in goalies and I look at it the same way for other positions as long as they are performing. You are right about Cantona.

The other strikers are good enough, and it's probably a good moment to tie Gomis to the French team considering how great he's been this season. And I think Jacquet had personal problems with Cantona and Ginola that resulted in their non-selection for Euro 96 and WC98. I don’t see the big deal here..

This is supposed to be the time of year where we put personal differences and horoscopes aside for what the team's objectives are: bringing home the cup. 20 goals is hard to overlook but it was. Zidane won't be there to save his ass again. This is another reason why Domenech will never measure up to Jacquet.
