PSG just cancelled the celebrations, i don't know if it already happened in another city, they had to cancel the celebrations because black and arab thugs are rioting
a third world city

Frederic, Thank you for your excellent reports of French soccer - the PSG win and racial improvement is great news! Do far-right types in France cheer for PSG? Do "we" have a soccer club in France? I believe Millwall used to be a far-right club in England (though they are very black now so not a winning team and not worth supporting).
Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has been named both the Players' and Fans' Player of the Season at the club's end-of-year awards ceremony.
The Frenchman beat Rickie Lambert and third-placed Jack Cork in the supporters' vote with an overwhelming 68.6 per cent approval.
some news from french second division, because there are interesting things happening
as monaco is leading the second division, they should come back to first division next year
it's very interesting because they could become really quickly a top european club, like PSG
here's monaco's coach claudio ranieri (former internazionale and as roma coach)
the club was bought by a russian billionaire, and they now are very powerfull (monaco has always been a powerfull french club, but lately it was more difficult)
here are a few players that they managed to buy, the quality is very good for french second division (it was actually never seen before)
*their goal keepers are italian international flavio roma and croatian international Danijel SubaÅ¡ić
*their captain and central defender is the german andreas wolf:
alongside him plays a good brazilian central defender (mestizo) from serie A
*their fullbacks are white uruguayan kagelmacher, of german descent, and a greek international
*in the midfield, they have the danish international jakob poulsen
the rest is normal for a ligue 2 club, except a swedish international (of persian origin :yuck: )
*as a winger, they bought the very highly rated argentine ocampos (just 18 years old):
here are the 2 main things that he did for his first match with monaco, in which he impressed a LOT:
here he is destroying a black defender:

and his first goal:

monaco really found a special talent, it's incredible that they were able to sign him despite being in french second division (they paid 11 millions euros for him! incredible for a second division club)
*their strikers i'm affraid are not world class, as they have "new adebayor" (adebayor played at monaco) ibrahima touré, from senegal
he's just tall, that's it
and then they have bruno germain, who's white and french, but i have a bad opinion about him because he's the son of a professional football player - we'll see
anyways they will probably buy many players if they come back to first division (highly expected)

there are two main things to know about the club:
-they are technically not part of france, so they don't have all the taxes we have in france, which always made them very powerfull
-because of the size of the "country" (more like a small city) there is nobody in their stadium, there are almost no suporters
we talk about PSG and the top teams, but let's dig in the bottom of the league:
nancy is currently 19th out of 20 teams
they have the worst attack in the league, they only scored 2 goals in 8 matches
out of 6 forwards, they don't have any non-black player
they have 6 coal black africans out of 6 forwards
and out of their 2 goals, one was scored by a white player on a free kick (it was almost an owngoal actually)

Do you like France's blue uniforms today? I remember you said you liked Man city's colors.
griezmann is part of the best 11 of the season in spain with real sociedad (they qualified for champions league)
but since france never gave him a chance, he could play for spain instead of france, his latest declarations make me feel like he's going to play for france
video of griezmann's goals this season:

The Red Bulls hosted Olympique Lyonnais this week for a friendly. I was impressed with Lyon's squad composition: there were only three Africans out there for most of the game, and two were defenders. They definitely had the Red Bulls beaten in that regard. It was fun to see the ageless Steed Malbranque and of course Yoann Gourcuff, who slotted home a simple goal. The "French" player Dabo, born in Senegal, started two fights and was burned by New York's fourth-choice striker for a goal.
An entertaining match: not as boring as some of the friendlies (MLS teams usually each host one per year during the European offseason) because I am guessing the NY coach allocated minutes before the match so that everyone knew how hard to run. Both teams emptied their benches. The Red Bulls' second string is VERY non-white, and Lyon ended the game with five Africans. The game ended 2-2: Gourcuff and an own-goal from a black defender (Olave) for Lyon, McCarty and black Andre Akpan (left unmarked by Dabo) for the Red Bulls.
The DWF moment of the night came in line for the restroom, where I noticed a white man speaking French to his three young sons. All four were wearing matching Bafetimbi Gomis jerseys. :thumbdown:
a very interesting thing about the french national team, a thing that tells a lot more than expected: the dead balls (free kicks and corner kicks)
france had a great tradition of very important goals scored on free kicks or corners, but then it suddenly stopped
*first, the direct free kicks:
platini scored a great free kick against holland (one of the best teams in the world at the time) to allow france to qualify to the 1982 world cup: http://youtu.be/2l_IrDJV5UQ
france won their first trofee in 1984 at the euro champs, and once again platini scored the winning goal on a free kick: http://youtu.be/5BtKukhiotc (this once was ugly but the shoot was on target, the most important thing on a free kick)
then the team started to get blacker and blacker
and the only goals from direct free kicks in the past 10 years were scored by zidane and rothen (2 non-black players, 1 white and 1 kabyle)
