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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

If anyone else, like me, can’t find a way to watch the game, here are a couple of liveblog sites:

HELP!!! I cannot get ANY streams to work. I’d even pay, but nobody’s offering it. (The pay site doesn’t list Spain-France.) I have it showing up on one of the media player sites, [...]

Aside from Zidane, I can’t think of anybody associated with the France National Team who inspires such intense emotion. I myself get ferocious pain in my maternal area whenever I think about him.
Years ago we had goals, goals, goals! Now we have the insubstantial World Cup minutes, and that excruciating [...]

I have to go do African Cup of Naitons stuff for the next few hours and don’t even have time to go add in spaces in the names, but wanted to get this posted.
The somewhat unexpected (but not unwelcome) ones for me: Jérémy Menez, Gaël Clichy, Steve Mandanda.
And Jean-Alain Boumsong’s [...]
