Did Saccomano really say THAT ? If it's true, he must be fired at once. This is the must ugly thing I've heard since a long time.

Especially from someone working for RTL. Holly crap ! Since when do RTL journalists give lectures about intelligence ? It's like Bush talking about military honor, utterly ridiculous.

I totally agree. Totally inapropriate. Ribery almost died in that accident, and he has to wear the memory of it on his face everyday. What a moron, and what an ugly comment.

Regarding Abidal's injury during the game against
Costa-Rica, here's today OL press release (http://olweb.fr/fr/cmc/saison/2005/45/4380.html):

"Eric Abidal: Communiqué de presse

Blessé sérieusement mercredi soir à l'occasion du match de l'équipe de France contre le Costa Rica, Eric ABIDAL a passé un scanner hier en fin de matinée à Paris et une I.R.M. dès son retour hier soir à Lyon.

Le corps médical lyonnais a diagnostiqué une fracture du 5ème métatarse du pied gauche qui n'est pas directement liée à celle dont avait été victime le joueur en juillet, mais qui est, cette fois, consécutive à une violente torsion du pied sur les abords non stabilisés de la pelouse, ayant occasionné un important traumatisme

L'Olympique Lyonnais regrette cette blessure très pénalisante pour le club, mais surtout pour le joueur qui était revenu à son meilleur niveau et qui venait de disputer l'intégralité des trois derniers matches de l'O.L., entre le 29 octobre et le 5 novembre.

Cette blessure intervient après les réserves émises sur les conséquences éventuelles d'un tel match sur l'intégrité physique des joueurs compte tenu, d'une part de la fatigue liée à cette nouvelle surcharge du calendrier (les joueurs lyonnais venant de jouer 7 matches en 22 jours), au lointain déplacement (13 000 kilomètres en 48 heures) et au décalage horaire (- 5 H), d'autre part des conditions de jeu avec un terrain de toute évidence non adapté à un tel match international.

L'Oympique Lyonnais qui avait préalablement alerté la Fédération et les instances internationales sur les risques encourus par une initiative très bonne dans l'esprit mais impromptue et surtout inopportune compte tenu du calendrier officiel, sera conduit à prendre les dispositions adaptées à une situation pénalisante pour le joueur et préjudiciable pour le club qui sera privé pendant plusieurs mois de l'un de ses meilleurs éléments"

In brief (the last paragraph), Lyon is threatening to
take action against the French Federation. And they
could, the game wasn't played on an official FIFA
date. Fun fun fun...

Just a note: it's about to start. I had to try about 20
times to get feed, kept gettings errors. So keep trying
if you have problems and want to watch..You may
eventually get lucky. I did.

[fishbiproduct]

Oh, and sure enough: "Marseillaise copieusement sifflée par les Anglais !" These twats...

********ing english.

actually fish is right, the livesports feed works really well, at least from the computer lab at USC. My past experience has involved a whole lot of lag, getting a single frame every 12 seconds, but now it seems like if you're in, then the quality will be quite good.

anyways, i have class, alle les espoirs encore

Just a note, the U21 match is on live on Fox Sports Channel.

I am taping it and hoping to see Ribery.


I thought Flamini was in the squad? Seems he wasn't even called up? What happened? Why doesn't he play for them?

edit: And where's Nasri? He's been scoring for them.

[sl7vk]

France 1-0 England
LeTallec scores. He should have 3 by now actually.

[lefutur]

"Le Tallec ! Il manque le but du K.O ! Suite à une sortie aux poings de Carson, il récupère le ballon et le but est vide mais il dévisse sa frappe ! "


Sheeet!
