FYI: I’ve joined Twitter (OffsideSarah) where I’ve been posting minor stories and photos I’ve come across such as Les Bleus playing footie tennis, when Henry thinks the FFF should announce the new coach or which game Gignac will make his return from injury. I hope you will all follow me there as well- [...]

Best Of Equipe De France Football (Buts, legends…) 2/2Uploaded by lulu2705. – More professional, college and classic sports videos.
What if John Terry had been a member of the French team instead of England- how different would things be? Wenger explains what Sepp Blatter attempted to say (and failed miserably).
Check out who France [...]

South Africa is now less than four months away (opening game is June 11th) and while most countries have arguably been preparing for this tournament for 4 years- Raymond Domenech has declared that his preparation will really start next Wednesday when France play Spain. Our approach to qualification makes so much more sense now…
But, [...]

Even the Elephants are angry at Thierry…
It has been a while since we have caught up with the team, potential teammates, managers and alumni during the international down-time.

Today marks the first day that I was proud to have Raymond Domenech represent France. The man has managed to string together several intelligent words and shown [...]

Les Bleus will be traveling to Sweden for a friendly on August 20th, a game which will hopefully get the team ready for the World Cup qualifiers that will be starting soon.
There a lot of old faces on the squad, but there are also some players missing, including Franck Ribery and Francois Clerc, who [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]
