Ronaldo Plays Twenty Minutes for Charity; Zidane Goes an Hour

0
Watching charity matches is always a little surreal. Part footy match, part spectacle, part day trip away from the retirement home. I don't think I've seen any game that captured this surreality more than yesterday's charity match between "Friends of Zidane" and "Friends of Ronaldo" (the Brazilian one, not the pretty one) to [.

Down, but Not Out… Well, Not for Long at Least.

1


As everyone's probably already heard, Fabio Grosso went down in the 18th min of Italy's 2-1 win over Cyprus. Fabio left the game with an injury to his flank. The diagnosis is two fractured ribs. It's believed he will be out of the Lyon line-up for at least one month. That amounts to Grosso missing at least (6) matches.

Austria beat France 3-1???

7
Wow, a huge upset in the first round of European World Cup qualifiers as Austria beat France 3-1. When you look at those lineups, there is no way that France should not at least have come out of Vienna without a draw, and even that would have to be considered an upset. I am sure that the pressure is now squarely on Raymond Domenech, but it really should be on the French FA for keeping Domenech after the debacle that was the French performance at Euro 2008.

Five Blokes Who Might Be Half Decent - La Liga

0
Bojan...scored more often as a youth than Darren McFadden


Grégory Coupet - Atletico Madrid - Goalkeeper

Coupet is 35 and French national team goalkeeper, so hardly an unknown. However, it will be interesting to see how he performs in his first season outside France. Coupet was a major part of the Lyon success story and has seven league winners medals, although he is probably most famous for this double save against Barcelona. Click to continue reading...

MONTERREY, 19 de Julio.- Los Tigres de la UANL dejaron un buen sabor de boca, al venir de atrás y sacar el empate de 2-2 al Atlético de Madrid, en lo que fue el último partido de preparación para el conjunto felino.
El trofeo "Hotel Camino Real" fue para el visitante, al terminar en empate el juego, pero los 30 mil aficionados que asistieron al Estadio Universitario se llevaron buena impresión, sobre todo en la segunda parte. Click to continue reading...

Lyon had their first summer friendly this afternoon against Nimes in Albertville. Goals were scored by Juninho (10), Yannis Tafer (40), and Anthony Mounier (63). This was Claude Puel's first match in charge, and for many of the players, their first match in an OL jersey.

Euro 2008 Disaster

I've totally been avoiding writing about this because part of me still believes that it's only a nightmare...But man, out of the eleven OL players in Euro 2008, only one will be showing his face in the quarterfinals.

Farewell then, France. Last night had been an evening that promised to hit a crescendo of tension, excitement and drama, but in the event the evening in Zurich all went off like a firework display in a monsoon, with a French selection and performance that gave Italy a relatively comfortable ride through to the quarter-finals, whilst in Berne the Dutch comfortably found a way past a Romania side which, three games in, finally showed up the shortcomings that many had suspected would lead to them being one of the tournament's lame ducks before so much as a ball was kicked.

Euro 2008: France vs Italy: Ground vs Aerial

It will be the tale of the two keepers. And who will be more effective in keeping the ball away from the crypt. If that is the case then you would take Buffon over Gregory Coupet in a heartbeat. Coupet's heedless charge led to the Robben goal and his delayed reaction could have stopped Van Persie.

France beaten badly by charismatic Dutch 4-1

0
France's defense, and goalkeeper Gregory Coupet, were hammered by the Netherlands for 4 goals. France actually played fairly well in stretches, and created many chances to score, but on 4 occasions, France couldn't keep the Dutch out. Malouda was beaten badly for the opener, letting Kuyt head a goal into the back of the net. Click to continue reading...

It’s Official - Gregory Coupet is Leaving Lyon

This is probably the worst kept secret over the last few days. Gregory Coupet has often been linked with a move abroad in the last few years. However, he never really wanted to leave...until now. We all knew something was up when rumors spread like wildfire after Coupet allegedly told two supporters yesterday that he was leaving.

First thing. Before you do anything else, would you do me a favor? Click on this link. (You don't even have to read it. Just click. And if you have a spare second, click it again.) It's a Player Profile for Karim Benzema that I wrote for the main Euro page. I made a formatting error that kept it from getting picked up by google when it was first written.

New York Red Bulls: Gregory Coupet to NY?

10
Don't think about it too hard. Take it all with a grain of salt. The 35-year old French international recently signed a contract with Lyon until 2010. That would make him 37 if he were to come over on a free transfer. "It's a desire Greg has"...meaning, at least it's not forced on him by [...] Click to continue reading...
