have it, it's not bad at all. There's a lot of features that I liked - however, don't get the 360 version as it doesn't have a fifth of the content that the other versions do.

Can you post the ratings for all the Ligue 1 clubs?I was going to get it for the Xbox, because I don't have the 360, and the 360 is missing several leagues.The only FIFA game I have played is the 2002 FIFA World Cup video game.Does FIFA 07 have promotion and relegation?

[ilv2]

don't know, but i'm assuming in management mode it will. However, with 360, there is no management mode! so no dice there.

As for the ratings, i'll try but i'm quite busy with studies (obviously lol). One thing I will say though, is that their ratings system is more vigorous. Henry is a 90, and other former 90s have all gone down greatly. Rooney is a 92 though :rolleyes:

Cool if it's the case. There are option files with the right names and ikits to be DLed on internet though. The thing is you need a special USB mem card to transfer them on the console (like maxDrive) though. If you can it's really worth it, it actually brings more interest to the game and those files are even updated. Unfortunately, teams are still called by their former names.

Also in the United States it sucks to have a French last name like the one I have.My last name is Delabre, and many Americans are not sure what nationality it is.Some think it's Italian and others think it is hispanic.However, my full name is French (Julien Laurent Delabre) so I think that shows just how little French Americans know.

Don't know if you guys have heard of Kamini, but he's making the rounds on the internet and on TV - he's a rapper from a little northern village called Marly-Gomont, and it's just hilarious stuff:

Blame Sarko ! :p

[AfrcnHrbMan]

Hey can anybody over in france give me some more info on this genocide bill that is causing a stir from turkey?

[guignol]

Hey can anybody over in france give me some more info on this genocide bill that is causing a stir from turkey?there's a bill under consideration concerning the armenian genocide at the beginning of the century, put forth by the socialists but the idea is also supported by sarkozy who has been promising the armenian community something like this for a while.

it's always been a big topic here because there is a very large armenian population, mostly from the diaspora from said genocide. there are discreet commemorative plaques in most big cities.

within turkey there is a camp that wants to recognize the facts, but the establishment and the majority of the population is strongly negationist.

there is also a lot of reticence in france concerning the bill. if negating genocide, either of jews gypsies or armenians, has been ruled not to fall within the domain of free speech, historians are wary of governments "legislating history". it's a two-edged sword which more often than not will end up cutting the wrong way.

[AfrcnHrbMan]

So people are worried that not having the ability to deny genocides goes against free speech? I can definately agree with that stand point from an individual, however I don't think governments should have that luxury. That is if it happened the way most people think it did. I thought the bill was mostly directed at Turkey's government to fess up to genocide, as a prerequisite of entrance into the E.U. I'm assuming there would be some reperations in order if the turkish government ever did formally accept that this happened. May be thats what this is all about?

[ilv2]

I agree with the point above w/ respect to the government legislating history. Not only is it poor policy choice for franco-turkish relations, but more fundamentally the government is on very weak ground when it writes a law concerning events that happen abroad - even though a large community of the affected lives on its soil.

The EU's stance is one that I find the most logical:
La Commission européenne, qui a depuis réaffirmé que cela n'entrait pas dans les critères d'adhésion à l'UE, a estimé que l'initiative des députés français nuirait au dialogue turco-européen."Dans le cas où cette loi entrerait en vigueur, elle empêcherait le dialogue et le débat nécessaire pour la réconciliation sur ce sujet",
http://www.lemonde.fr/web/article/0,1-0@2-3224,36-822933@51-818486,0.html

On another note, I remember when the government decided to implement a law (or was it a decree) essentially recognizing the positive elements of colonialism while largely excluding the obvious negative impacts of that period.

[ilv2]

So the three PS candidates (DSK, Laurent Fabius, Sego) are going to have debates (http://www.lemonde.fr/web/article/0,1-0@2-3224,36-822968@51-749161,0.html) on the 17th Oct, 24th Oct, and the 7th Oct:

Six débats sont prévus entre les trois présidentiables socialistes, Laurent Fabius, Ségolène Royal et Dominique Strauss-Kahn : trois débats télévisés (les 17 et 24 octobre et le 7 novembre) et trois débats devant les militants (les 19 et 26 octobre et le 9 novembre). Six débats, "c'est beaucoup", a estimé Mme Royal. Les militants socialistes éliront leur candidat le 16 novembre, et le 23 en cas de deuxième tour.

anyone know on which channel they will be diffused on?

[guignol]

probably france3, maybe 2 or perhaps even both.

[YankBastard]

Has anyone been watching any French news lately?France 2, and TF1 keep covering the shutdown of a squat in Paris."More than 500 people have been evicted from a former university residence in the suburbs of Paris, believed to have become France's largest squat" (BBC News).

Paris: n., a well-lighted, fantastically beautiful pay-toilet, with uncharacteristically unappreciative attendants.
