I’ll keep this pretty short since almost everything that needed to be said has been discussed in the comments of the previous post. Here are just a few thoughts I had about the game:
1. It was a mistake to write Lyon off.
Going into the match were predictions of doom, with many expecting a resounding [...]

First things first, the last few weeks have been very hectic in my “real life” because I’ve fallen behind in my research, and as a doctoral student, my adviser is not happy with me, which is why I’ve had to take a vacation from the soccer blogosphere. So you can imagine my disappointment that despite [...]

If any of you read my match preview of yesterday’s Coupe de la Ligue game against Metz, you can see that I was expecting a comfortable win for my team. Not champagne football, but a solid, no-nonsense victory. But it turns out that I, along with the entire squad of Olympique Lyonnais, am now being [...]
10 Things I Learned from Lyon vs. Fiorentina

In lieu of a proper match review, I present you with this. Match highlights and photos at the end of the post.
1. When picking Brazilians, it’s Ederson you want. Leave Fred behind with the rest of the garbage.
I don’t mean to come off as a Fred hater, but did he accomplish ANYTHING in today’s match [...]
Lyon 3- 2 Nimes: So the 4-3-3…Yeah
By: Inara | 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 [...]

Goals: Lyon (Benzema 1, Fred 9, Kallstrom 52), Auxerre (Thomas 77)
We had to wait until the last day, but we did it! So cue the cheesy “Seventh Heaven” headlines! Match and celebration pictures after the jump.
“A Point is Good”…WTF?
By: Inara | 25 Comments
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read the post-match comments from the players last night.
Alain Perrin: “We didn’t win, but at least we didn’t lose.”
Jean-Alain Boumsong: “We must be happy with this point because it will be important in the next few days.”
Juninho: “We wanted to win and get away from Bordeaux, but [...]
Fabio Grosso Bitchslaps a Player, Plus Other Lyon Nuggets
By: Inara | 9 Comments
Fabio Grosso’s week isn’t getting any better. Last weekend, he was verbally abused by Strasbourg coach Jean-Marc Furlan for being a “piece of macaroni shit.” Today, during Lyon’s 2-2 draw against Caen, Grosso was sent off, the third Lyon player to be red carded this year. Apparently, Grosso – who had already received a yellow [...]

Remember the game that Lyon barely won against Valenciennes? Well, two weeks and three games later, Lyon prove that they can play even more fantastically shitty. Hell, they make it look easy!
So if you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been around the last week or so, it’s because Lyon have been embarrassing themselves lately, and [...]
Lyon Aren’t Out of Europe Just Yet…
By: Inara | 10 Comments
At least the ladies team isn’t. OL Féminines, UEFA Women’s Cup debutants, are currently the only French team – male or female – that are still in Europe.
Jean-Michel Aulas has thrown all his considerable weight behind Lyon’s ladies team, who have the weight of an entire nation on their shoulders. And Aulas is very [...]
