Trezeguet to make a comeback for France?

Will Trezeguet’s performance for Hercules be enough to catch Blanc’s attention? If David Trezeguet has anything to say about it, then yes. On this Sunday’s edition of Telefoot, he declared himself “available” to Blanc should his former France teammate decide to call him up.

We have a game. Maarten Stekelenberg will be none too pleased about the goal he gave up. Diego Forlan curls a shot which bounces off the Dutch goalie's fingertips and into the net. Forlan's amazing World Cup continues. He also...
