I don’t mean to be reopening old wounds, but these were too wonderful not to share. They’re in French, but trust me, you don’t need to understand the words to understand the meaning. Keep an eye out for the running Estelle/Pires/Giuly gag in all three clips.
“Je ne suis pas a l’euro” – Trezeguet is [...]

Look who’s back in France.
Ludovic Giuly and Claude Makelele have moved to Paris and put on the PSG uniform. Rumor is that Louis Saha may soon follow.
Interesting strategy on the part of the hugely troubled PSG. Fill the team with aging-yet-loved returning prodigal internationals.
If it works, they’ll be seen [...]

Liverpool have signed 19-year-old French forward David Ngog from PSG. He’s allegedly “lightening quick,” but I’ve never seen him play myself. If he can get a game for Liverpool, I’ll be watching closely.
If it’s not already clear, I should clarify that I’m overly fond of England’s Premier League, the Arsenal in [...]

I’m going to pass on this Franck Ribéry photo with no editorial comment about the shorts.
Continue getting better, Franck!

Nothing going on with the EdF, so let’s take a look at the Beach Soccer World Cup, going on in Marseille this week. (Question: Even FIFA calls it “Beach Soccer.” Why is that?”)
France is enjoying the home field advantage and has guaranteed themselves a spot in the quarterfinals. They lost on [...]

First thing. If you haven’t seen the get-together of the France 1998 team in the charity match from last weekend, you need to download the game. Now. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E1XNKRIJ. (Thanks, Sandrahn!!) Up towards the top right, it will give you a three-letter combination to input. Then click on “Download.” [...]

Olivier Kapo, 27, has joined a different club in England, switching from Birmingham City to Wigan. Wigan manager Steve Bruce, who will be Kapo’s manager for a second time, said Kapo has a touch of quality about him.
We’d seen some of that quality when Kapo had chances to play for France (he has 9 [...]

Euros are over. Moving forward. (Again. It’s hard to forget something like that, isn’t it?) But let’s take a look at how the transfer season is going.
First, Samir Nasri is a Gunner at last! We all knew it was going to happen, right? And then it didn’t. And [...]

It seems that David Trezeguet has had enough.
In all honestly, I knew this was bound to happen, but it still makes me sad when a player hangs up his international boots, especially when they are forced into it.
While I freely admit that I don’t think Trezeguet has a place on the team anymore (even [...]

Dear Raymond:
Can I call you Raymond? After almost two years of blogging about your team, I feel like we’re friends.
And I like you. Truly, I do. I want to say that first. I find you entertaining, and your sense of humor sharp and dry (just like I like it), and your [...]
