The Boys Are Back in Town

By: Martha | Comments 5 Comments

Obi-Wan Letizi wishes everyone a belated, vaguely creepy Merry Christmas.
Hooray, training starts today! That means there will be something to talk about other than transfer rumors for the next couple weeks, albeit more than likely only things like “Oh, crap, Rémy’s not fit yet,” or “God dammit, Cyril #1 hurt his calf again — is [...]

Newsie Odds and Ends

By: Martha | Comments 6 Comments

[Not as scared of Baky and Ben Arfa as he looks. Probably.]
•The Grenoble match will be played either a week from today or on the 17th of this month. The 10th was the league’s initial proposal, but Pierre Wantiez had a fit about Nice getting an extra day of rest, so it could be pushed [...]

My squad is how big? No shit!

International Roundup + Some Hellebuyck

By: Martha | Comments No Comments

I watched most of the Colombia-Nigeria match which ended 1-0 to the home team, with Apam going the full 90 for Nigeria, and Ospina in Colombia’s goal for the second half. Though the first half was sort of even, it was one-way traffic towards the Nigeria goal for the entire second half. Nigeria were severely [...]

That Ben Saada Guy Isn’t Too Bad, Huh?

By: Martha | Comments 4 Comments

Ability + vision + audacity + 10 pounds of muscle = legitimate future #10
I’ll have some sort of report up about the match tomorrow whether you like it or not but, until then, watch the above clip. Then, watch this one, which is even better, but is crappy when embedded. Next, sigh happily. Repeat as [...]

Yes, We Have No Ba-Rémys

By: Martha | Comments No Comments

Despite his admirable, 21-year-old’s confidence (which is about 15 years more developed than it was in the picture on the left), Rémy in fact did not recover in time to make the squad for tomorrow’s match. Bugger. There rest of the list is entirely as expected:
Gardiens: Letizi, Ospina
Défenseurs: Apam, Cid, Diakité, Hognon, Kanté, Rool
Milieux: Coulibaly, [...]
