CdL Stuff + Schedule News

By: Martha | Comments No Comments

Old man’s still got it.
I won’t bore you with a long report on the Le Havre match, but I watched it this morning and, in general, was pretty impressed. Nice dominated the first half, thanks in part to a massive performance by Faé, and Modeste played the best 45 minutes I’ve ever seen out of [...]

Arras + Adeilson

By: Martha | Comments No Comments

There’s allegedly football being played in the first part of this clip. I have my doubts.

Buts: Bellatrêche (52è) pour Arras; Ben Saada (48è), Modeste (110è), Bamogo (113è pen) pour Nice
Arras: Lambenne – De Barros, Daval, Lombard, Delépine – Bellatrêche (c), Duchateau (Diarra, 99è), Luyssen (Lamourette, 109è), Hadjal – Catelet (Bellaredj, 63è), [...]

Nice-Grenoble: Never Mind.

By: Martha | Comments 3 Comments

Singin’ in the rain.
Conditions were so bad that the match was postponed yesterday, and then put off again today. For what it’s worth, here’s the lineup that would have taken the field — for the second match in a row, Rémy was in the squad but didn’t even made the bench. By next weekend, one [...]

More on Créteil + Bit of News

By: Martha | Comments No Comments

“This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
I managed to find the Créteil match and, while I’ll spare you a full report (I can hear the sighs of relief from here), I’ve still got some reactions to offer on a handful of newbies/youngsters/Habibs.
•Ospina reads the game really well — he’s almost never surprised by [...]

A Pair of Reports, One More Thorough Than the Other

By: Martha | Comments No Comments

The number of times this man yelled “HABIB!” against Lorient: 419.
Report the First
Alright, so, the Lorient game. Ugh. Fantastic to play like that and get three points, but still — ugh. The goal was a stroke of luck, a failed clearance that ended up at Chouf’s feet with the keeper down, and which he rolled [...]

Nice 2-2 Bordeaux

By: Martha | Comments 4 Comments

Where am I? Who are you people?
After the first 30 minutes or so of Saturday’s match, you’d never, ever have been able to convince me that Nice would get a point. Not a million years. As everyone who gave voice to the obvious after the match (Antonetti and Cyril #1 among them) said, they gave [...]

A Virtual Purge

By: Martha | Comments 4 Comments

Look at that face — it’s positively awash with guilt.

I thought I was over the Lyon match, but I just watched the Inside documentary at ogcnice.tv and am once again deeply depressed, albeit what I suspect is a very girly way — the rage is gone, and now I’m just really, really sad for all [...]

That Sucked, and This Won’t Help

By: Martha | Comments 3 Comments

I’m traveling and working and won’t be able to get a report up until Tuesday (which is probably just as well, since if I wrote it now, you’d get a long piece comparing Italian and French referees, mixed with a lot of mooning over Cyril #1 and being sent off on principle), but until then [...]
