I think I read on the FFRXIII site that they're assembling the squad for a two-day training camp in two weeks from now. To answer your question, I suppose they've done it so as to coincide with the end of the French domestic season, which is this weekend.Why have they chosen a squad now? Is it just for training purposes as they don't have any games scheduled that I'm aware of? Surprised Larroyer is in there as he hasn't played for a couple of months. I agree with mdc, the sum of the French team is usually a lot weaker than the individual parts.
