World Cup News

Kris, Jez and Tom talk four of the best for Paris FC, important wins for OL, OM, Lille and Rennes, but boos for Pélissier. There's some European chat, changes at Lorient & more!

Kris, Jez and Tom pick apart a PSG demolition job in #LeClassique (just how good are they?) and what next for RdZ & OM... Elsewhere Saint-Max is up and running, 12 up for OL and it's bye bye Beye!

Kris and Phil catch up on all the action, including Nice winning 8-0 against Saint-Etienne, PSG dropping points for the first time this season, and OM winning the Olympico despite being down to ten men for basically the whole match. Also a tribute to Raphael Varane, who has announced his retirement at just 31.

It was a week of confusing refults in Ligue 1, and Kris Jez and Phil are here to break down all the action before a look forward to the European games for PSG, OM and LOSC

Well, I guess that's why they call it Les Bleues. There's chaos surrounding the French Women's team, and the FFF, in the run-up to the World Cup. On the pitch, there was a cardless Classique which saw Mbappe and Messi in magical form as PSG beat OM 3-0. Nice won the Derby du Sud by the same margin at Monaco as their impressive run of form continues. There were a bad set of results in the Europa League, Dejan Lovren helping Angers out on the scoring front, and the relegation battle continuing to confuse. Kris, Jez and Phil cover all of that, while trying to keep up with the Coupe de France quarter-finals 'en direct'.

Several teams had a weird week over the European games and the League games at the weekend. Kris, Jez and Phil are here to round up the Rhone derby, Lille's win over OM, and Rennes' unexpectedly comprehensive result against PSG. We look forward to the Nation's League semi-finals and potential final day, and there's a look back at the legacy of Bernard Tapie, who died this week.

The Champions League started badly for the French contingent, so Kris, Jez and Phil look back over 1 point from 3 matches and some late goals that did for PSG and OM. We also look at the weekend's games, lots of goals, two teams going down to nine men, whether we need to talk about Saint-Etienne, and if Lille might make a race of this.

France are out of Europe, after PSG's capitulation against Manchester United is followed by Barcelona beating Lyon 5-1 and Arsenal overturning Rennes' first-leg lead with a 3-0 home win. The gang's all here to discuss that, and the Classique which saw PSG beating OM 3-1 in a game that saw Steve Mandanda sent off, banjaxing OM's chances. Kris, Jez, Phil and Rich cover all that, the relegation fight, various fan protests, the latest on Adrien Rabiot, and the France squad for the upcoming Euro qualifiers against Moldova and Iceland, as well as any other business.

As Ligue 1 pans through game 22, Kris, Jez and Phil round up all the action as OM struggle at home to Lille, Lille continue to be good, Monaco continue to be confusing as they bin Thierry Henry for the guy they binned earlier in the season, Guingamp are still dead last but in both cups, etc etc.

As the transfer window slams shut(TM), Kris, Jez and Phil try to work out who's where and how the traditional big four - PSG, OL, OM and Monaco - have done this summer. Have they strengthened their squads, made necessary replacements, or just trod water? Phil's been at a wedding and hasn't seen any games, Jez forgets to mute his microphone when answering the front door, and Kris tries to hold everything together.
