LdC : Lille affrontera Rabotnicki ou Debrecen (28/07)
En tant que tête de série, Lille était à l'abri d'une mauvaise surprise. Son adversaire pour le troisième tour préliminaire de la Ligue des Champions est désormais connu : ce sera soit Rabotnicki, le champion de Macédoine, soit Debrecen, le champion de Hongrie. Au match aller, les deux équipes se sont séparées sur le score de 1-1. Le LOSC devra donc attendre le match retour, le 2 août, pour connaître le nom de son adversaire. Quoiqu'il en soit, ce sera un match à la portée des joueurs de Claude Puel. A eux de ne pas se manquer ! (Par Benjamin Bonneau)

Excellent draw for Lille !

Thanks for the primer. The decision is a UEFA decision not a FIFA decision. Does FIFA approve in a de facto way? Perhaps but only rarely does FIFA interfere with the various confederations unless an appeal is lodged by a member. When it comes to dealing with the European competition implications of the scandal the call is UEFA's.
Yeah, your right I only said "That's FIFA for you", because UEFA is a member of FIFA, but technically like you said it was UEFA that made the decision.

Well you deserved that one after your Lorraine flag snip you gave me. For your info, there is both a flag AND a coat of arms, but I didn't want to get into it.

Yeah, I knew there was both.I was just saying that the Lorraine coat of arms looks a little different than the flag.

Well cheers then!

Bringing this back on track, hat's off to Lille, doing what they have done with the resources avail. Imagine what this little club could do with a decent stadium!

Nice idea.

I agree with whole thing except that I don't see Acimovic starting on the side as a SMF or WF.

I think he will start in the center as AMF and battle with Bodmer for that position while faster and more mobile players like Debuchy and Gygax fight for that left SMF positions among themselves only.

The Hounds will face Rabotnicki Skopje in the third round of LdC qualifier. They should be thru, really.

Jean Makoun speaks of Lille's change of status.

In a maintenance granted to the daily newspaper the Team, the Cameronian international medium of Lille Jean II Makoun (22 years) described how it imagined the season which opens for the LOSC tomorrow with 17h45 in Rennes.

"For two seasons, one has felt that our statute changed. We are awaited everywhere and each match that we will dispute this season will oblige us to raise our level "acknowledged one of the best players of L1.

It also gave a progress report on the involved forces and the exit of the season: "It will be very tight bus much of manpower did not move too much, like Lyon or of Marseilles".

Hey guys I need a little help. I go uni in Canterbury, Kent, UK. and was thinking of making the trip over to see Lille play on Wednesday night in the CL qualfier against Rabotnicki Skopje. Is this game going to be played at Lille? As I thought their ground isn't up to UEFA standards. If so then how do I get to and from the stadium from Lille Flandres train station? and the last train back to Calais from Lille train station is at 20.13pm. The game starts at 18.00pm. How much of the game would I miss to give me enough time to get back to Lille Flandres train station?

Thanks

Matt

The match will be at the Metropole for the qualifier. If Les Dogues make it past that round into the CL proper than they will have to play at Lens' Bollaert stadium. Tickets are available online on LOSC's site at www.losc.fr/users/billetterie/titre.php and you should be able to order well enough though if you don't understand French some of the "fine print" might be tough to make out.

As for getting there, I believe you take the Cantons line to Pont de Bois (I've only done this once and I wasn't really paying close attention so I'd get confirmation). I imagine you may have to miss the last 15 to 20 minutes of the match but again my sense of time could be off.

Good win guys.... Lille is far from a fluke. Now open up your wallets and sign Puel to a 10 year deal.

Next week should be interesting.We're up against our région rival, Lens.

Apparently Michel Bastos made a very impressive debut playing on the left-hand side. Hopefully he won't end up like Hicham Aboucherouanouanouane.

I just saw the highlight of Keita's goal. What work. Brilliant footwork down the flank, and a shot from an impossible angle, hit the keeper and went in. Beautiful.

Good Luck to Lille this season.
