After the results were final in Matchday 5, Lyon knew their hopes of going through to the knockout stages of the Champions League, which they had so poorly started, rested on their shoulders and theirs alone.
In all fairness, the same can’t be said for Marseille, who kicked off their campaign with a bang, beating Besiktas [...]

Here’s an interesting role-change: Usually French clubs are lacking a bit of everything in the Champions League, and solid in the UEFA Cup. This week’s European fiesta had that changed around, with Lyon and Marseille winning and drawing respectively, and the UEFA Cup contenders gathering a win to go with two losses.
The big story was [...]
Peut-être! Allez! Oui! Égalisation! But! But! C’est fabuleux! Gignac surgit! Oui! Toulouse est qualifié!

Représente ta ligue: Not a Bad UEFA Cup Start for our Boys
By: Sam | No Comments
If you’re a France fan, it’s hard not to be a UEFA Cup fan. We rock at it, before the knockout round at least. If we could only be as good in the Champions League, we’d be set. Regardless, the lesser-cup fans were delighted today with the 38 matches being played from Russia to Scotland [...]
The Daily-Or-So News Dispatch (07.09.19)

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 [...]

Okay, first off, 4-0? Ouch. That’s embarassing. I’ll let Brian at the Liverpool Offside tell you more about it here.
Now! The draw for the Champions League group stage was held today, and there’s much to say about where our two favourite competitors Lyon and Marseille have been thrown.
Marseille have a tough but manageable group with [...]
Meet Teddy Richert
By: Sam | 3 Comments
Raymond Domenech announced his squad for the upcoming Bleus friendly against Slovakia earlier today. Out of the 35 players invited, only one was new. He’s a goalkeeper, he plays for Sochaux, and he goes by the name of Teddy Richert.
You probably don’t know him. He doesn’t play for a high-profile club, hasn’t played a [...]
Représente ta ligue: Lens Play in Switzerland. Match Ends in a Draw, of Course
By: Sam | 2 Comments
In typical French fashion, le Racing Club de Lens drew in the first leg of the UEFA Cup second qualifying round, with Olivier Monterrubio canceling out Tiago’s opener, five minutes after the fact. It appears as though Lens dominated for the most part, especially in the first half, but it has to be said that [...]
Toulouse Draw Liverpool

Well, isn’t that just super? Toulouse, psyched as hell since earning their spot for the third round of UEFA Champions League qualifying, just got one hell of a figurative punch in the gut. Or in the liver, rather. Of all the sixteen sides possible, it’s going to be last season’s runner-up, Liverpool, who will stand [...]
Lens Advance to the UEFA Cup after Dismissing Chornomorets in Intertoto
By: Sam | No Comments
Hey, it’s written in the stars, no Ukrainian club is going to off anyone from MY league, thanks so much. Lens vs. Chornomorets (doesn’t that sound like a candy that Harry Potter would eat?) was eerily similar to last year’s edition of the Intertoto Cup, where Marseille and Dniepropetrovsk played to a 0-0 draw in [...]
