Peace Cup: Lyon vs. Porto

By: Inara | Comments 105 Comments

I felt terrible that I wasn’t able to put up a real match preview last night, but now that I think about it, it wouldn’t be much different from the Lyon vs. Beşiktaş preview. No significant news coming out of the OL camp except that Lisandro Lopez and Cesar Delgado will remain on the sidelines [...]

Peace Cup: Lyon vs. Beşiktaş (Plus Pictures!)

By: Inara | Comments 82 Comments

I’m going to keep this short because there really isn’t much to report. For some odd reason, OL have become shoddier and shoddier in updating their website with relevant information. Geez, they can afford to pay millions over the top for a dental patient, but they can’t hire a college intern to update their website? [...]

Peace Cup Overview

By: Inara | Comments 19 Comments

Day after tomorrow, the players kick off their fourth Peace Cup campaign (for some odd reason, the event organizers really like Lyon). For those of you unfamiliar with the tournament, it takes place every two years and is one of the six pre-season friendly tournaments going on this summer. The last three Peace Cups took [...]

Stade Camille Fournier d’Evian, Grenoble

(17:00CET, 16:00GMT)
Today, Lyon are up in Evian to play an amicable match against one of our cross-town rivals, Grenoble. Judging by the group list and current state of crisis at OL, Puel is taking nothing lightly: not a single CFA player was called-up, and every first-team player except [...]

Friendly: FK Partizan vs. Lyon Liveblog

By: Inara | Comments 20 Comments

I know it’s just a friendly, but it’ll be interesting to see the internationals back in action, except this time, some of our new signings and our youth will be in the mix as well. This match is also a big one for Partizan, who will be receiving their league trophy for the 2007-2008 season. [...]

Lyon 3- 2 Nimes: So the 4-3-3…Yeah

By: Inara | Comments 17 Comments

Lyon had their first summer friendly this afternoon against Nimes in Albertville. Goals were scored by Juninho (10), Yannis Tafer (40), and Anthony Mounier (63). This was Claude Puel’s first match in charge, and for many of the players, their first match in an OL jersey. And speaking of jerseys, as you can see, Lyon [...]

Tignes: The Deal So Far + Pictures

By: Inara | Comments 11 Comments

As most of you probably know, Lyon have started their pre-season training at Tignes, a ski resort in the Alps on the Italian border. Lyon go there every year for high altitude workouts, which is supposed to make them really fit.

Both Lyon and the France NT train at Tignes yearly.

Right now, half the squad [...]

Lyon Aren’t Being Very Friendly

By: Inara | Comments 5 Comments

Just the other day, the LFP published the summer schedule of friendlies for both Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 clubs. Nearly all of them will be busy this summer – Marseille have nine friendlies planned while Bordeaux have a respectable five (fyi, PSG will be playing against Porto in August – fun). Even the promoted [...]
