Compare that to Italy's two 9's (Buffon and del Piero) and remaining nine players who are pretty much all 8's.
I'll take an 8.2 team average over a 7.5 any day of the week.
Too bad France has, if I take your own exemple, more player about 8/9 (Thuram (Defense), Barthez (Goal), Riberi (Attack)) than 7. And sorry if I dont know the players position, in English.
But yea, if we're in Final, its just because of luck right? I mean, we beat Brazil, Spain and Portugal only because they were all feeling bad the day they played us, adding to the fact we had lots of luck.
