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.” [...]

Final score France 2-0 Ecuador
Gomis, 59′, 86′
Welcome to Laurie’s half-hearted liveblog of the game. Don’t expect all the action, but expect the important bits.
Post-game. Interesting. The teammates certainly didn’t seem overwhelmed with gratitude for Gomis after the game, did they? I think he’s upset the expected order of things [...]
I found the Anelka Flip Video!
It’s funny. There are multiple videos of Ribery scoring the penalty after Anelka got flipped, but this was the only one I found of the spectacular act itself. But this, with its multiple replays in slow motion, was more than enough.
(For the record, I don’t agree with the sentiments expressed [...]
Random Thoughts on France-England
I have approximately nineteen minutes of internet time left before the machine kicks me off. Let’s see what kind of random thoughts I can post on the game before then.
I was at the Stade de France with my two oldest offspring. It was fantastic fun — much better than being at Parc des [...]
France 1, England 0
France defeated England 1-0 in a friendly this evening in Paris’s Stade de France. The goal came from a penalty earned by Anelka and converted by Ribery.
The Guardian’s Paul Doyle summarized the game, “A comfortable win for an under-strength France team that was nonetheless a class above England. Anyone thinking Fabio Capello would bring [...]
The List for Next Week’s A and A’ Games
I’m desperately trying to figure out a way to convince my kids to go to the A’ game next Tuesday. I’ll be in Paris, so why not? I don’t think it will happen, but hey. It might, right? (Where is stade Charléty anyhow?)
Just a few thoughts on the [...]
Zizou Does Brazil
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 [...]
“Le Caviar,” to be Sure!
I wanted to embed the video of the lovely Willy Sagnol to Benzema to crossbar to Henry exchange at the end of the game, but I’m having problems with the embed code, so click on this link to watch it.
While I was doing a quick google search about the title to be absolutely [...]
Watching Spain-France
In case anybody’s interested, reader Kyle has given us a download link for last Wednesday’s game. My computer downloaded at between 55 and 100 kbps (is that the right measurement? probably no) and it took about 3 1/2 hours to download both halves. But the picture quality is excellent and it’s well worth [...]
The Aftermath from the France Games
First off, thanks so much for posting all of the links in the comments after the games. I’ve had African Cup of Nations going on at the World Cup Blog main page. (And I’ve also had my first experiences liveblogging. It was more fun than I expected. Now I’m probably going [...]
