If we see it from the point of view of the "soccer business", for the World Cup, full of neutral viewers around the world (a lot of which aren't even football fans), France is the more popular team. Players like Ribery and Henry move more millions than, say, Robbie Keane. End of the day all the "big" teams are usually favored.

On top of that, Manchester United is back on the second spot. To bad Chelsea won with 4-0 so the difference is still 5 points
This.
Also they will never accept technology should be part of the game, they excuse the bad referees all the times.
You really think they're going to be more popular there now?
Thursday morning, the French FA were ready to submit an offer to a rematch to FIFA. They were cockblocked by the team coach, who is one of the most unpopular people in French sport.
Still wondering where Blatter is lol
A win for Spurs today will see us tied with Arsenal for 3rd on points. Hopefully Modric will be back from injury. Wigan are either really good or really bad...it'll be fun to see how this turns out
looks like its the latter, Tottenham smashes Wigan, 5-1 atm (writing this @ 70 minutes, Defoe scored 3 goals up to now)
Whoa, Wigan got demolished!
Defoe suprised me with his 5 goals.

Really upset with my team... 2-0.. *sigh*
Now that I think about it... Porto-Chelsea, Inter-Barça, Lyon-Fiorentina in the champions, and now, Barça-Real, Benfica-Sporting, Arsenal-Chelsea, Everton-Liverpool, Bremen-Wolfsburg, AEK-PAOK, Olympiakos-Pana, Inter-Fiorentina...
Jesus christ, what a week. I can't remember one likfe this in my intire life.

and yet another rediculous penanly descision again today, for a "shirt pull" from vidic, even though he was holding the shirt and the portsmouth player was holding him, if thats a penalty then there would be 10-15 a game, obsurd not a foul, another poor descisoin for fergie to get banned for complaining about.
