Did France get to the final in spite of Domenech or because of him? This is the 2nd tournament final in a row in which they failed to win a match, in 3 matches in the qualifiers against Lithuania and the Faroes, the scored 3 goals in total.
Personally, given the players they have, I'm a bit disappointed to see them gone. The whole Henry thing was just tabloid hype. If Robbie Keane had done the same, would we have offered a replay?
I would presume that a coach has some input so yes he had a hand in them reaching the final. It's all spin, those wonderful players took it upon themselves to ignore their coach and play themselves into the final whereas now that same coach has contributed to their downfall. A lose/lose situation for Domenach
