I was looking for something else and stumbled across this photo.
This was another one of those relationships that kind of boggles the mind, a la Raymond and Estelle.
Fabien Barthez and supermodel Linda Evangelista were together for several years, starting, if I’m not mistaken, shortly after WC 1998. They almost had a [...]

Djibril Cisse has scored five goals in two games, moving himself up to sixth among Ligue 1’s top scorers after a miserable start to the season.
Nicolas Anelka just switched teams, and notched his first goal for Chelsea today. (Here’s the goal. Watch quickly, becuase these things never stay up for much more [...]

I’ve been busy helping out with the African Cup of Nations coverage on the World Cup Blog main page, so it somehow slipped my attention that there is an A’ game with Congo on Feb. 5. Is this a surprise to anybody else?

And in amazing news, L’Equipe is reporting that Sebastien Frey [...]

World Cup 2006 is over. Finished. Done. So this will be my only post about the events of last July. But I was reading through old World Cup Blog posts and this Zidane quote was just too juicy to pass up:
“…there is nothing special happening around me concerning this being my [...]

Put the 6th September 2006 in your diary, it’s the day France host Italy in the qualifying round of Euro 2008.
