Why is this game at such a dumb time? Argh. I'll miss at least the first half, and probably the whole thing. There's supposedly going to be a stream tomorrow. We'll see, I guess. I think these CdL games are on France...I don't remember the number. 2 or 3, probably. Anyway, at some point I'd found a stream for those channels.
I don't remember these Coupe de la Ligue matches being televised on anything but pay channels (that I never got when I lived in France). That said, streams for French games of all sorts have been few and far between so far this season.
I went ahead and checked PSG.fr, and apparently the game is on France2. Which, for those of you who don't know, means that a lot of people will have access to the game, and it's probably more likely that there will be a stream available.
Huh. Good to know. Also good to know that my memory is hazy at midnight. Three cheers for the possibility of a stream, though.
I only remembered because of the separately sponsored jerseys teams have for this competition (and the Coupe de France), and those have logos fro France 2 and 3 on them.
[result]and most of them end up going home within the first couple games (look at todays scores 9/23).[/result] adu better play. and this whole time i thought that loans were so the player loaned could get some playing time.
L"Equipe predicts Freddy will start: Les équipes probables : MONACO : Ruffier ou Roma - Mongongou, Simic, Nkoulou, Muratori - Meriem, Perez, Leko, Pokrivac ou Diaz - Pino, F. Adu.
As expected/demanded, Freddy starts: F.Roma (c.) D.Simic V.Muratori C.Meriem J.Leko N.Pokrivac F.Adu C.Mongongu N.Nkoulou Ndoubena D.Perez J.Pino
Pokrivac ou Diaz is a very intersting name - must come from a blend of cultures - and Pino sounds like he belongs on the bench.
Folks, that second link is working; the first is only available to people in France, Andorra, or Monaco.
French commentators giving a positive account of Freddy's starting role. Calling him the "young American star" who hasn't reached his potential yet. Hope that's not too critical....
Mais non! Ok, other commentator talking about how De Bontin brought Freddy in for marketing and merchandising...
