They also need to realize that they have many more players that can move. Benzema, Nasri, Gourcuff, Ribery, Clichy, Evra, Sagna, etc etc all move... a lot. And their style of play needs to be more fluid. It was refreshing to see Gourcuff force movement with very quick intelligent passing. Domenech has (although not as of very late) been trying to force the same style of play where, like in 98, the back 4 (minus Liza) never really moved, the middle just suffocated the opposition, and henry stood about 3 inches from the offside flag and scored a record amount of goals. I believe Mr. Wenger would have a field day with this team and then France would be a team worthy of mention in the same sentence as Spain's squad. Very well said.
