Happy Thanksgiving to all our US readers.
And if you’re not in the US, Thanksgiving is kind of like…like Christmas, except you give “thanks” instead of presents. Or, if you prefer, it’s where we gorge ourselves on food to celebrate shamelessly taking land from an indigenous people.
Or something.
But at any rate, [...]

Why does it not surprise me that our Franck is a pink boot pioneer?

I think we need to discuss last week’s game before we move onto more interesting stuff. Like, say, Gallas’s autobiography.
First off, the biggie: What did you think about Steve Savidan?
I thought his energy level was a breath of fresh air. He’s waited a long time for this, and he really, [...]

I am finding noplace to watch this game legitimately in the states, but Myp2p has lots of streams listed. Let’s hope some of them work.

If you find one that’s working particularly well, leave a link in the comments for the rest of us to click on.
And if you’re watching the [...]

Some said big Pat was too old in 2006. Togo found out otherwise, on the wrong side of a Vieira-led 2-0 drubbing.
Highlights with Crowd Noise:

Longer Highlights with French Commentary:

I don’t know why I’m surprised by these Raymond Domenech decisions anymore.
Actually, come to think of it, I’m not surprised by these Raymond Domenech decisions anymore.
Raymond lost a DM, a center/leftback, and a rightback this week to injury — Lassana Diarra, Julien Escudé and Bakary Sagna.
So who does he call up? You’ll [...]

For anybody interested, Zidane and Friends will meet Ronaldo and Friends in a charity match tomorrow, Monday, Nov. 17. Game to be played in Morocco. If you’re in the US, it will be broadcast on Fox Soccer Channel at 1:00 Eastern. If you’re not in the US, leave game-watching info in the [...]

My plan for this post was to give you videos to ask you want you think of PSG’s discovery, Guillaume Hoarau, who scored two goals today. (One was a penalty, the other a header.) He’s PSG’s top scorer this season. I think I read they paid either 500K or 800K Euros for [...]

Reader Doumé left this comment in a previous post:
Laurie,
Speaking of Nico’s double, I couldn’t find the goals anywhere, it seems Youtube and Dailymotion forbid highlights. Every time I click on something, it’s a still picture with a crappy link – sometimes to a porn site, but I didn’t think Anelka did that kind [...]

First off, my pet peeve. Why the hell is Patrick Vieira on the list? You know he’s just going to get injured before the game, and even if he doesn’t, he’ll be injured in 2010. So why are we not seeing somebody like Mathieu Flamini, or (maybe Abou Diaby) instead? (Sorry, [...]
