Zidane? #10? Doing the Roulette? Wait, No, It’s Enzo!

Bob reported on twelve-year-old Enzo Zidane this morning over at The Offside, but I thought I’d add the video. (The commentary is basically just your standard “like father, like son” stuff.) From Reuters:
Enzo Zidane, named after his father’s idol, the graceful Uruguayan international Enzo Francescoli, is 12 years old and [...]

Djibril Cissé to RBNY?!?

I doubt that this has even the slightest possibility of being true, but The Mirror reports that Red Bulls New York has expressed an interest in the fragile striker Djibril Cissé.
LIVERPOOL’S unwanted striker Djibril Cissé is a target for New York Red Bull. The French striker’s move to Marseille is on the [...]

A Little More Trézéguet News

I can’t decide if it’s cruel to post this picture of David Trézéguet in his Gilligan hat. I find it kind of endearing, but maybe that’s just me.
There is, like always, all kinds of Trézéguet transfer news, although most of my links today say, “He’s SO staying at Juve.” Which means [...]

Look! It’s Zidane NOT Sweating!

I’ve got limited time this week, so I thought I’d just pass on an interesting (if somewhat disturbing) Zidane antiperspirant ad. The audio is just the standard antiperspirant ad stuff (so much so that I think you can understand it even if you don’t speak French.) So ignore the audibles and focus on [...]

Patrice Evra Scores in Champs League!

An absolutely miserable day for Philippe Mexes and Roma. A much better one for ManU and for Patrice Evra, who came on as a sub late in the game and put together goal number seven (yes, seven.) And from the RIGHT side. (What was up with that?) I was rooting for [...]

Yes, France Does Still Have (Some) Players in Champions League

Would you believe that I almost forgot about Champions League this week? Lyon out, Lille out… I’ve kind of lost interest. But not quite. So here’s an update of France NT players still in the game.
First up today, we have our largest contingent of France NT players in the ManU-Roma game. [...]

Trezeguet’s Not Happy

Yes, I did do a post on this same topic not too long ago, but Trezeguet continues to break my maternal heart on an almost daily basis, so I thought I’d offer up this one too.
Seems that David Trezeguet is STILL not happy these days.
I’ve stopped trying to keep track of [...]

Domenech To Visit Lyon

The French article’s title is, “The Pilgrim Domenech.” Which is kind of humorous when you think of all the criticism France coach Raymond Domenech’s taken recently for, among other things, not stepping out of his comfort zone to visit clubs. But he is apparently going to make an exception in the [...]
