All the Euro 2008 qualifying news!Roma defender Philippe
Mexes believes he merited a place in France's World Cup squad ahead of
Pascal Chimbonda.
Mexes was not named on coach Raymond Domenech's 22-man list to go Germany
last summer, leaving the former Auxerre stopper to wonder why.
"To me, it is a shame that they [the French coaching staff] went
to Wigan before the World Cup whereas they didn't even came to watch me
play the final of Italian Cup," Philippe Mexes told France-Football.
"It is true that I deserved to be called more than others.
"I humbly think I had nothing to envy of players who were called
up last season."
Mexes has been an integral part of Roma's side so far this season, helping
the Giallorossi to second place in Serie A.
