Even the Big Players Get Star-Struck

March 3rd, 2009 | By: Laurie | 9 Comments »

It’s almost time to start posting about the March internationals, but…not quite. (Also, I still owe you a post on Champions League and UEFA Cup. Stay tuned.)
But for now, I just stumbled on an adorable quote from Zidane’s early idol, Enzo Francescoli.
And though his time on the Old Continent perhaps did not garner [...]

Ten Years Ago, 1998

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.” [...]

Zizou and Sons, Playing Footy

May 23rd, 2008 | By: Laurie | 5 Comments »

I posted this once before, last year maybe? But I figured it deserved a reposting to remind us that there is life outside of and after football. Plus the video I posted previously got deleted from YouTube, and this one has subtitles.
My favorite part:
Enzo: And Theo’s with you.
Luca: [...]

Magic Moments: WC 1998

May 13th, 2008 | By: Laurie | 9 Comments »

I was just researching the France Team Profile for the Euro 2008 main page (which will go up later tonight) and found this video. Thought you’d enjoy it as much as I did!

For the Boys AND the Girls: Karembeu and his Supermodel Wife

May 7th, 2008 | By: Laurie | 2 Comments »

All righty then. We’re getting ready to absolutely, completely immerse ourselves in Euros.
But before we do that? Let’s enjoy the view of former bleu Christian Karembeu (with gaping shirt) and his lovely wife Adriana. (The one with the black bra and seethrough top. You know. The former WonderBra [...]

I was looking for something entirely different when I stumbled on this over at the site AllPSG.com
If you were following the PSG news in late 2006 when Vikash Dhorasoo got the sack from PSG, you might find it humorous also.

Zizou Does Brazil

March 18th, 2008 | By: Laurie | 8 Comments »

Thought you might enjoy this photo of Zidane in Brazil. The article said “indoor soccer” but it looks more like Futsal to me. Zizou’s team lost 4-3. The article says he was “slightly out-of-shape”
We should all be so out of shape.
He was there to do some charity work.
“It was a [...]

How About a Young (Shirtless) Zidane Photo This Time?

Blogging rule #173: When you don’t have time to write, post marginally tasteless educational historical photos.
(Does anybody else think the bald thing is a huge improvement? I mean…um…wow. Nice cleats.)

Karembeu’s Fete is Officially On

January 21st, 2008 | By: Laurie | 3 Comments »

Remember last month when I said I’d read that Christian Karembeu was thinking about reconnecting with his buddies from 1998 for two matches, but I couldn’t find verification?
It’s now officially showing up on the fff site. And yes, there will be two games: One in Karembeu’s homeland of New Caledonia on May 26, [...]
