Funny how football fortunes can quickly change... Not so long ago, such a game would have been
eagerly expected, for this was promising an intense and entertaining game. But shortly before
Laurent Blanc announced he would be leaving the Girondins to take the reigns of the French National
Team, the internal dynamics of the so far successful team started to derail.
Oooh, natural grass pitch!The Nutrilite Canadian Championship just got more muddled. Well, by "just" we mean in 2014 - the
projected inaugural season for Ottawa's new NASL club. Scheduled to play in a revamped Lansdowne
Park Stadium alongside a new CFL club, Ottawa will be joining the ranks of Canadian pro footy clubs
alongside the three MLS squads and their NASL brethren FC Edmonton.
A crucial encounter. Rather than a pleasant wine contest between Cotes du Rhône and Bordeaux,
tonight's game will leave at least a big gun with a sour taste in the mouth... And, it'd better be
Bordeaux, if you ask me.
Remember... this must have been a century ago : Bordeaux versus Lyon, a Champions League quarter
final.
