Thierry Henry won’t play when France meet the Faroe Islands in a couple days, because, according to Barcelona, he has pain in both Achilles tendons.
Henry is still one of France’s best players, but given that he’s likely to be missing more games in the future due to injury at this stage in his career, it [...]

Big Benz has joined the revolution.
Big things happen in three, and Real Madrid have signed three expensive players this summer: Kaka, C. Ronaldo, and Karim Benzema.
Big Benz had a fair season in France, with something like 17 goals. He was a breakout for Lyon a couple seasons ago, but Lyon did not win the [...]

I’m having major computer problems this week, so I haven’t been able to do much research into what will be going on today. (I will be here for the game, though, so please stop by and keep me company.)
What I’ve read is that pretty much the entire starting lineup has changed, with the exception [...]

Okay, ladies and gents, it’s up to you. This game is showing up essentially nowhere outside of France. It is your job to find a working stream and post it here.
I’ll get you started. First, check out myp2p.eu. If one of these is working well for you, post [...]

Speaking of club-related feats for France players, thought you might enjoy this clip from Saturday’s FA Cup, which was eventually won 2-0 2-1 by Chelsea, including our boys Nicolas Anelka and Florent Malouda.
Watch this clip of a Malouda strike and tell me it shouldn’t have been 3-0.
(But isn’t the video [...]

Our boys have been quite busy collecting trophies and awards in the past week or two. Let’s hope they can connect their talents next time France comes together to perform equally well for France.
First, Thierry Henry finally has a Champions League trophy! He managed to rehab his knee injury enough to play 70-ish [...]

Two friendlies coming up — Nigeria on June 2 and Turkey on June 5. Here’s the list of players. What do you think?
The big surprise is that Florent Malouda got the call, perhaps showing that Raymond Domenech can look past personal feuds to actual current form? Not a bad thing, [...]

“It was 11 men against 11 children.” That was Patrice Evra’s perspective after marking Theo Walcott in the UEFA Champions League 2nd leg as his Manchester United side visited and deposed Arsenal.
It’s not a charitable assessment, but Evra’s flirtation with egomania is grounded in a really excellent performance. Theo Walcott was Arsenal’s best hope [...]

Gignac, a forward for Toulouse, played for France in the most recent world cup qualifier, and had the assist for the goal in a 1-0 victory.
France Supporters like what they saw. Gignac was not timid. He looks like he could be an entertaining player. He does seem to be focused on attack, [...]
