Ribéry to a Serie B club? Guess which!
By: Sam |
5 Comments
Only once in a few thousand blue moons will you hear a Serie B club go on about signing players such as Miroslav Klose, Florent Malouda, and now, Franck Ribéry. I don’t know, I just haven’t heard of Crotone or Pescara go on about the imminent arrival of the World Cup’s top scorer or France’s [...]

At the end of 2006, it’s of course the time to look back and comment on the issues that touched the soccer world. This year, this includes headbutts, diving and the rise of the Kazakhstani soccer dynasty.
My good pal Laurie at WBC provided her readers with her proposed gifts to members of the French [...]
Matchday 19 - Lyon doesn’t win. No, I mean it
By: Sam | No Comments
It’s been done by Toulouse, Rennes and Real Madrid. Monaco, now. That’s the prestigious club of clubs (oooh) that have managed to not lose against the mighty Lyon. Twenty-two wins, two draws and a loss.
Mysteriously, for every year since 2001/2002, Lyon has not won on its last game of the calendar year. Those are, yes [...]

Well what, you didn’t expect him to keep the same hair for more than two games, did you? For his third game in bleu et blanc, also his first full contest since coming back from injury, sporting a centimeter-wide, play-doh like mohawk, got off on the right foot by scoring off a corner in the [...]

In the Coupe de la Ligue action this week, we saw Bordeaux beat Saint-Étienne in extra time and Le Mans eliminate Sochaux on the road, to reach their second consecutive semi-final.
Lyon, who drew defending champion Nancy, had work to do (believe it or not) and got it done. After a scoreless first half, Malouda opened [...]

Christophe Landrin scored his first goal of the season, his first for Saint-Étienne, his first in the crazy atmosphere of Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, and it was slightly fantastic. Have a look-see.

Matchday 18 - Business as somewhat usual
By: Sam | No Comments
Gotta love that picture! This weekend, one match was on everyone’s mind. THE big ‘un, the newest 2nd-place team, Racing Club de Lens was welcoming Olympique Lyonnais, full of hope to break away from the pack. Sigh. 4-0. Juninho, ill with the Pélé syndrome, was having the game of his life, scoring on a stunning [...]

As previously mentionned, retired goalkeeper Fabien Barthez has evoked an eventual return to Ligue 1. And here he is!
On the French television show Téléfoot this weekend, FC Nantes-Atlantique president Rudi Roussilon and Barthez himself announced the signing of the legendary Bleu for a period of 18 months, accompanied by the mandatory “happy-opportunity-club-hope-season-I’ll do my best-thank [...]
Shut up, Lille isn’t a free ticket to the quarters

Lille isn’t a bad team! Grr!
They beat Manchester United!
They have more than enough talent to compete with anyone!
Just watch!
That is all.
Man U and Roma? Oh, it’s on

I was hoping for something along the lines of Lyon-Barca or Lyon-Inter, but I got AS Roma instead. Not bad. I wanted Manchester United, and I got it.
The former match will be a good one (understatement) with the likes of Totti, De Rossi and Pizzaro having a go at Juninho, Malouda and Fred. Good contest [...]
