France’s national coach Raymond Domenech is under extreme pressure at present to keep his job.

After a poor Euro 2008 and his early 1 – 3 loss on Saturday to Austria in Group Seven, a team ranked just beyond 100 in the world rankings, time must be running out for the coach.

Prior to the match against Austria the French Federation had given the fifty six year old Domenech a target of five points in the first three matches. With the loss on Saturday this becomes two victories in two matches, the first of which will be on Wednesday against Serbia.

Domenech has been in charge of the French national side since 2004 and was himself a French international who played as a defender.

Croatia 1-0 England (no hope for England)
Faroe 1-2 Romania ( Despite many injuries )
Italy 1-1 Georgia ( Cardiopalma1 )
Northern Ireland 1X
Turkey 2-0 Belgium
Russia 4-0 Wales (maybe more)

Anyone who wants to be rich asap should bet on these matches.

Poor Domenech. How can he operate under an ultimatum? I like the guy. He's OK, but just a bit dummy! Give Domenech credit, for any other coach would have resigned by now!.
Ajax, don't pay attention to the above predictions. If you want to make some money, bet the opposite on the following games:
Italy 1- Georgia 3
Croatia 3 - England 2
Finland 2 - Germany 1
Portugal 0 - Denmark 1
San Marino 4 - Poland 0
Good luck!

Somehow, i hope France looses vs Serbia so they can finally get rid off Domenech the dummy. Bring on Deschamps and let's get rollling. Unfortunately, it will be too late for SA WC.....
