When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Or, alternatively, when you’re soon going to be unemployed, grab your baby-mama and make it legal before she can get away. And if you can deflect media attention away from your failures at the same time, so much the better.
That seems to be the Raymond Domenech [...]

Speculation reported by France 2 is that Domenech will get the sack on July 3, 2008.
Here are the candidates they’ve heard touted to take over: Didier Deschamps, Jean Tigana, Laurent Blanc, and Arsene Wenger.

My dear French wife, who only had a passing interest in Euro 2008, and only got excited for about 30 seconds [...]

It was a frustrating Euro 2008 for France Supporters.

But, France did score a goal against Holland. That goal is a consolation given the events of the 2002 World Cup in which France also managed only a single point from the group phase, and didn’t score a single goal.

The Henry goal came from a great [...]

On the eve of the France’s critical tie with Italy, manager Raymond Domenech pulled Benzema aside to tell him, “Kid, I’ve gotten us into a real mess here. I need you to blast in a hat trick of goals. Seriously, kid, we’re hemorrhaging at the back. Just put your boot through the [...]

Yes, we are liveblogging this game. Since I am a hardcore France fan and my co-blogger Chris is a hardcore Italy fan, we decided to have this game liveblogged by a neutral — Daryl, The Offside’s editor. So be sure to stop by this site and leave lots of pro-France comments. [...]

There’s a chance that either Jeff or Inara may post an actual preview tonight. I’ve just got a few interesting tidbits of news.
First, Grégory Coupet’s considering retirement. And after that game on Friday, is anyone else surprised? What an excruciating thing for a goalkeeper. How long has [...]

It’s tournament time. What does this mean?
It means that once again the France blog will be taking more than it’s share of racist and/or xenophobic comments due to the fact that a number of players are not white.
Some of the comments are just uninformed, like the people who say that France steals [...]

Reader Doumé has come up with the ultimate solution to all of France’s problems in this tournament.
“Just one thing: for corner kicks, get somebody else than Malou to cover the likely target. Instead, let’s put big Pat Vieira on him, and if he’s not available, oh, heck……Chabal !!!”
I’m not so sure about Vieira. I’ve [...]

France’s results through 2 mathces of Euro 2008 have been abysmal, but France Supporters have seen enough glimpses of quality, in addition to having seen Les Bleus in 3 major finals in the last 10 years, to have faith that the team can rally and produce something remarkable.

France’s hopes are hanging by a [...]
