Take the Faroe Islands lightly at your peril. Ever since Irish manager Brian Kerr was appointed head coach in April earlier this year, the Islanders have put embarra sing drubbings like their 8-1 defeat to Yugoslavia or their 7-0 lo s to Norway behind them. Kerr has transformed the side Quenton Nelson Youth Jersey into a tough unit, difficult to break down and battling for every ball. So far in this campaign they have ama sed only one point from po sible fifteen, but they have conceded just seven goals and nicked a point off Austria, demonstrating their rapid improvement under Kerr.But they dont have a hope in hell of getting a result against France, right?Wrong. France have had a relatively shaky campaign and currently lie in second place in group 7, eight points behind Serbia (though France do have two games in hand). Les Blues were humbled 3-1 by Austria, the same team Faroe Islands got a point of, and also failed to beat Romania. Under Marcus Peters Men Jersey pre sure manager Raymond Domenech also has a number of injuries to deal with; influential winger Franck Ribery is out whilst his most likely replacement, Samir Nasri, is also injured. Nasris Arsenal teammate Gael Clichy is another absentee, as is Jean-Alain Boumsong. Thierry Henry is not in the squad after failing to recover from his Achilles injury.He might be a fantastic footballer, but I think its safe to say that Franck Ribery wont be getting any of David Beckhams Geoff Swaim Men Jersey modelling contracts anytime soon. , Reported Arsenal target Patrick Viera has been left out of the squad, with his place likely to be taken by La san Diarra. (The gloriously named) Rod Fanni will start in defence but wont play in front of keeperYohan Pele, who is injured A.J. Terrell Youth Jersey andthus left out ofDomenechs squad.Fortunately Brian Kerr has no real injuries to deal with. Nearly all of his squad are part-time footballers, though he is able to field a few profe sionals, one of these being Manchester Citys young goalkeeper Gunnar Nielsen. He probably wont feature though, as Kerr favours the more experienced Jakup Mikkelsen.The Toftir Stadium, where the game will take place. Lets hope both sides keep their free-kicks down otherwise the ballboys will have a job getting the ball back.The game probably Will Fuller V Jersey wont be a particularly skillful, sexy encounter but should be fascinating neverthele s. Whilst many fans and pundits still remain ignorant to the threat the Faroe Islands po se s, Raymond Domenech will be fully aware of his oppositions potential and will in no way take them lightly. Faroe Islands wont qualify for the World Cup, but remain the joker of the pack in group 7, and France will have to be at the peak of their game to emerge with three points.PREDICTION: FAROE ISLANDS 0 vs. FRANCE 3
