Peace Cup 2007 [R]

[guignol]

OL is entering the biannual Peace Cup in Korea for the 3rd time. We were finalists in both previous tournaments, losing in 2003 to... PSV :mad: and in 2005 to spurs.

why enter this? first, to show the flag in a growing soccer nation in a continent where there's a lot to gain. second, winner gets $2,000,000 cash. par ici la monnaie!

I makes me want to go back to the motherland of Korea...

[THE SOS]

Hey, does anyone know where you can buy tix? and how expensive they are? An opportunity to see OL in Asia is one I simply can't miss! And do you really think they'll stage the TdC in China? Oh, God, I need to change my pants :D

I was going thru the site and found this:

I have to say they did quite a good coverage. You might get some juice out of it if you could just put up with their grammar. :D

Anyone doing PbP? How about match reports or video links?

Thanks.

Lyon are the best of the 8 teams easily.

Get rid of Wiltord already ! Why is he even there ???

He is doing his community service by carrying the club's bags.

He saw that these girls would be there and went running to join his teammates in Korea, his own bag full of disposable athletic gear.

;) :p

The matchs are scheduled on OL TV. There should be a streaming unofficial link that we'll post just before.

BTW, the match is at 6:45 AM ET. :D

According to the club website, Källström, Fabio Santos, Grosso, Keita, Cris, Réveillère and Bodmer won't be participating today. The starting lineup against Shimizu S-Pulse will look like this:

Coupet
Clerk - Müller - Squillaci - Belhadj
Govou - Toulalan - Diarra - Ben Arfa
Baros - Benzema


Hopefully when I wake up tomorrow, Lyon will have won.

[SportBoy333]

That lineup still looks pretty good even with all the absences.
