Are Nicolas Anelka and PSG a match made in heaven or what?
I adore them. They charm me. There’s a roughness and an edge and a vitality to both that I love.
Seriously, when I was in Paris in September, I came home with a PSG keychain for my son. And it’s [...]

Can you believe that Euros are less than two months away? That’s feeling painfully close.
So close that it’s time to mark our calendars for May 18 — the day that Raymond Domenech will announce the squad for Euros. Kind of.
Apparently he’s going to name more than the 23 players allowed on the roster, [...]

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?)

But that’s not my point. My point is: Fullbacks. Specifically this quote, with which I [...]

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 [...]

A few updates for our France boys:
Lassana Diarra has burned his bridges with Arsenal and journeyed on to Portsmouth. This I don’t get. And he’s really gone out of his way to offend the Arsenal faithful in the process. Words of wisdom to Lassana: Dig in, hunker down and work hard, [...]

Reader Glatisant asked if we have news about our favorite rightback Willy Sagnol. Coincidentally, guess what just appeared in my inbox? A Goal.com article on that very subject.
