I say it way too often: Nobody cares about la Coupe de la Ligue. Well, results like the ones we witnessed today might be enough for me to reconsider that statement. While we’re still waiting for the other five matches to be played (tomorrow and thursday), the three today earned the right to be talked [...]

The big news on the French football front today was of course Lyon’s slap-in-the-face trip to Barcelona, but let’s not forget the other goings-on around the league, with other clubs gearing up for their UEFA Cup matches tomorrow, Ligue 2’s Week 7, and what Raymond Domenech has to say about Marseille’s chances in the Champions [...]
My Coupe runneth over: The Lyon sleeps tonight, Bordeaux wins the Cup
By: Sam | No Comments
It’s become somewhat of a tradition since Lyon started their Ligue 1 dominance all those years ago. That of Lyon not being able to win a Cup, regardless of their brilliance in the league. I’ll hand it to them, they came pretty damn close this time, but no cigar. It’ll be FC Girondins de Bordeaux [...]

Please excuse the title if you’re not familiar with my ever-so-obssesive sister-in-blog Laurie at WBC. But the fact of the matter is, when Juninho, Coupet, Benzema (hopefully) and Mavuba participate in the League Cup Final, I think the only way Laurie could be happier with this matchup is if Zidane reffed it.
Sure enough, 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 [...]
Round of 16 - League Cup
By: Sam | No Comments
We’re down to eight teams in the cup that no one cares about. Not too many surprises, but it wouldn’t be a cup day without a few, wouldn’t it? Monaco travelled to Ligue 2 pensionary Reims under their new head coach hoping to start anew. Sorry guys. The team ranked seventh in the second division [...]
