Vive le Foot!


Ligue 1 teams had an amazing week in the Champions League (not so much in the Europa) that somewhat validated my prediction of French teams being real contenders this year. While Bordeaux won with class and Lyon once again upset Liverpool in the same manner they did 2 weeks ago, Marseille destroyed Zurich
and are now in a position to make Real and Milan sweat...

The end of a Vieira era...


The shock match this weekend will be Lyon - Marseille, two teams that will find themselves quite exhausted from their European ties...It's a must win for Les Phoceens who need to stay close to a Champions League position and for Les Gones to keep up with leader Bordeaux...

Meanwhile ahead of the Ireland qualifyers, Interist Patrick Vieira expressed his discontent over his non-selection with Les Bleus for the November 14 and November 18 ties making his participation in the World Cup in South Africa a priority...He might not have to worry about it....

The Frenchman
