France-Turkey — the Post where you leave streams and game comments

By: Laurie | June 5th, 2009 | 66 Comments »

I’m having major computer problems this week, so I haven’t been able to do much research into what will be going on today. (I will be here for the game, though, so please stop by and keep me company.)

What I’ve read is that pretty much the entire starting lineup has changed, with the exception of Benzema and Anelka.

The starting lineup from Goal.com:

Lloris; Sagna, Mexes, Boumsong, Abidal; Toulalan, L. Diarra; Anelka, Gourcuff, Malouda; Benzema

Looks like we’re back to 4-2-3-1, with Benzema the lone striker and Malouda and Anelka on the wings, with Gourcuff in his traditional playmaker role.

My big question mark: Mexes and Boumsong?!? This could be interesting.

In the US, the game will again be broadcast on ESPN Deportes (Spanish language), or on some computers at ESPN360.com. Aside from that, please post working streams in the comments. Here’s the myp2p.eu links page to get you started. It looks like there will be a lot of Turkish streams. (I’d suggest trying the Veetle stream — they usually offer high quality. But I think they do require a download first.)

Allez les Bleus!

Florent Malouda Scores for Chelsea. Except Not Really.

By: Laurie | June 1st, 2009 | 5 Comments »

Speaking of club-related feats for France players, thought you might enjoy this clip from Saturday’s FA Cup, which was eventually won 2-0 2-1 by Chelsea, including our boys Nicolas Anelka and Florent Malouda.
Watch this clip of a Malouda strike and tell me it shouldn’t have been 3-0.
(But isn’t the video indicative of how our Flo ... [read]

La Liste for Nigeria and Turkey

By: Laurie | May 25th, 2009 | 19 Comments »

Two friendlies coming up — Nigeria on June 2 and Turkey on June 5. Here’s the list of players. What do you think?
The big surprise is that Florent Malouda got the call, perhaps showing that Raymond Domenech can look past personal feuds to actual current form? Not a bad thing, but I’m not sure that ... [read]

Patrice Evra: It was 11 men against 11 children

By: jeff | May 8th, 2009 | 4 Comments »

“It was 11 men against 11 children.” That was Patrice Evra’s perspective after marking Theo Walcott in the UEFA Champions League 2nd leg as his Manchester United side visited and deposed Arsenal.
It’s not a charitable assessment, but Evra’s flirtation with egomania is grounded in a really excellent performance. Theo Walcott was Arsenal’s best hope to create something against United ... [read]

France Supporters Vote Yes on Gignac

By: jeff | April 6th, 2009 | 8 Comments »

Gignac, a forward for Toulouse, played for France in the most recent world cup qualifier, and had the assist for the goal in a 1-0 victory.
France Supporters like what they saw. Gignac was not timid. He looks like he could be an entertaining player. He does seem to be focused on attack, and you want that, really.

Alou Diarra - the only change - game on now

By: jeff | April 1st, 2009 | 123 Comments »

It’s Luyindula again, wide right.
Alou Diarra is in for the suspended Toulalan. That’s the only change for France from Saturday’s match against this same team, Lithuania.
Try Europe1.fr for match audio in French.
Gourcuff is “very present” early in the match.
Henry, alone up front and captain again.
Sagna centers for Henry, corner.
Ribery…no.
