FRANCE V SERBIA and MONTENEGRO MATCH PRESS KIT Municipal, Braga Sunday, 28 May 2006 - 19:45 Local Time Final Tournament - Group Phase Group a - Matchday 5 FRANCE v SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO MATCH PRESS KIT Municipal, Braga Sunday, 28 May 2006 - 19:45 local time Final tournament - Group phase Group A - Matchday 5 France's final-day fixture against Serbia and Montenegro in UEFA European Under-21 Championship Group A will be the first time the two countries have met competitively at this level for 16 years. France appear on the verge of the semi-finals after two wins from two games, with four goals scored and none conceded. Serbia and Montenegro are also on a high, having recovered from a defeat on the opening day to beat Portugal, but will have to pay attention to the result from Guimaraes where Germany meet the hosts. • The two teams have met twice in the qualifying round of the competition, playing four fixtures in all. They were first paired together in Group 4 in the 1986 competition, and the country that was then Yugoslavia managed to hold the French to a scoreless draw in the first fixture in Sarajevo. The return, held at the Stade Auguste-Delaune in Reims, proved to be an entirely different story, France running out 7-0 winners to clinch first place in the section and a berth in the next round while Yugoslavia finished bottom of the four-team group. France subsequently lost 3-1 to Spain in the quarter-finals. • The two Group 5 fixtures between the teams in the 1990 competition proved to be a different story with the first match in Yugoslavia finishing 2-2, Predrag Mijatović twice putting the home team in front and David Zitelli and Fabrice Divert replying. Yugoslavia did managed to preserve an advantage in the away tie, however, Robert Prošinecki's goal proving decisive in Le Havre and helping his team pip the French by a point to the sole qualifying place in the section. Yugoslavia then defeated Bulgaria and Italy to reach the final, but lost 7-3 to the Soviet Union over two legs. • The countries have never met in UEFA competition at U17 or U19 level, although their senior teams have been regular opponents in the UEFA European Championship and FIFA World Cup. Perhaps their meeting in the inaugural European Championship in 1960 was the most memorable, with Tomislav Knez scoring once and Drazen Jerković twice in the final 15 minutes as Yugoslavia came from 4-2 down to defeat France 5-4 in the semi-finals, although the final against the Soviet Union ended in a 2-1 defeat. Yugoslavia then triumphed 6-2 over two legs in the 1968 quarter-finals and also overcame England in the last four only to fall at the final hurdle again with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Italy. France won their most recent European Championship finals meeting with a 3-2 success in the 1984 group stage to set them on the way towards lifting the trophy. • Yugoslavia defeated France 1-0 in the 1954 World Cup finals and beat the same opponents 3-2 four years later, both fixtures taking place in the group stage. Both sides won their home games 1-0 in qualifying Group 3 in 1966, although it was the French who had the last laugh as they won the section to reach the finals, a feat they repeated when the countries were drawn together in qualifying in 1986 with Yugoslavia once more missing out. The situation was reversed four years later, however, Yugoslavia earning a win and a draw against France to book their place in Italy. Team facts France France will be looking to emulate the class of 1988 when they arrive at the UEFA Under-21 European Championship as one of the favourites. Then, a team including the likes of Eric Cantona, Franck Sauzée and Laurent Blanc swept aside Greece 3-0 in the final to claim the trophy, and René Girard is confident his 2006 edition can repeat those heroics. Last Updated 28.5.2006 17:09:34CET uefa.com 1 FRANCE v SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO MATCH PRESS KIT Qualifying Girard was installed during summer 2004 as a replacement for the outgoing Raymond Domenech, and enjoyed a charmed start to life in UEFA European U21 Championship qualifying. Three successive 1-0 victories saw France comfortably perched atop the section, and although they were then held by Switzerland and suffered a 3-2 defeat by Israel, another run of three wins saw them through to the play-offs. There they were handed a tough draw against England, and with the tie locked at 2-2 on aggregate going into the last five minutes of the return leg in Nancy, Jimmy Briand scored from the penalty spot to send France through. Team guide Since winning the Toulon tournament last summer, Girard has used no less than 40 players, with the only real continuities being the success wrought on the pitch and goals from Anthony Le Tallec. The forward - who spent this season on loan at Sunderland AFC - scored seven of Les Bleuets' 16 goals in qualifying and is virtually assured of a place in the starting lineup, alongside either Florent Sinama-Pongolle or Briand of Stade Rennais FC. With talismanic Olympique de Marseille winger Franck Ribéry selected for France's FIFA World Cup squad, the creative onus could switch flanks to the explosive Julien Faubert. Another FC Girondins de Bordeaux starlet, Antonio Mavuba, could also make a big impact in the middle of the park alongside the tenacious Jérémy Toulalan who scored the only goal of the game as the side beat Croatia on 18 May. It promises to be a groundbreaking few months for Toulalan, who will join Jérémy Berthod and François Clerc at French champions Olympique Lyonnais this summer. It has also been a big season for Mathieu Flamini, after helping Arsenal FC to the UEFA Champions League final, and he could be given a chance in Portugal as Mathieu Debuchy is injured. Having played at left-back in place of the injured Gaël Clichy for much of the campaign, Flamini could repeat the trick for the U21s, who will also be without the sidelined Ronald Zubar. However, marshalled by superb shot-stopper Jérémy Gavanon, a thread of defensive responsibility runs throughout the team, who conceded just eight goals in ten games in reaching Portugal, and Girard will be keen for that to continue. Serbia and Montenegro Serbia and Montenegro broke new ground when they reached the final two years ago, despite being soundly beaten by Italy in the showpiece. That was the culmination of a concerted effort by the Football Association of Serbia and Montenegro, and even though its attentions have been diverted back to the senior side this time around with the FIFA World Cup looming, hopes are high that the U21s can emulate that success. Qualifying Drawn in a group with Belgium, Spain and neighbours Bosnia-Herzegovina, they got off to a blistering start, notching up 17 goals in their first three games. Admittedly, two were against minnows San Marino and they were brought back to earth with a demoralising 4-0 defeat by Belgium before a change of coaches saw Dragomir Okuka installed. The new man immediately got their campaign back on track with a narrow win at home to Spain, and even though the Iberians won the return, they paid for their inconsistency as Serbia and Montenegro scraped through in second place behind Belgium. A play-off against Croatia was their reward and a first-leg hat-trick by Mirko Vučinić set them on course for a 5-2 aggregate triumph. Team guide Vučinić had been virtually unknown in his homeland when he scored that decisive three-goal haul, having moved to Italy to join US Lecce as a 17-year-old. His link-up play with Boško Janković was particularly impressive, and although expected to receive a call-up with the senior side for the FIFA World Cup in Germany, the playmaker will instead complete his season with the U21s in Portugal. It has been a successful campaign thus far, as he and six U21 team-mates claimed a Serbo-Montenegrin league-and-cup double with FK Crvena Zvezda. Last Updated 28.5.2006 17:09:34CET uefa.com 2 FRANCE v SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO MATCH PRESS KIT Dušan Basta and Vladimir Stojković are among them, and they and Vučinić will travel to Germany after the U21 finals, after being asked to do an international tournament double this summer. Stojković will captain the U21 side in the absence of Danko Lazović, who will also play no part after receiving a five-match ban following his dismissal in the first leg of the play-offs. The loss of their talismanic skipper will be a crushing blow to the team, because after playing 33 games at this level his experience would have been invaluable as they look to go one better than in 2004. Eve-of-tournament injuries to Ljubiša Vukelja and Aleksandar Trišović provided setbacks but with Branislav Ivanović, Milan Biševac, and Dejan Milovanović not cherry-picked from the squad for the senior side as had been expected, Okuka has reason for hope.

    Football in France Global Sport Cultures Eds Gary Armstrong, Brunel University, Richard Giulianotti, University of Aberdeen, and David Andrews, The University of Maryland From the Olympics and the World Cup to extreme sports and kabaddi, the social significance of sport at both global and local levels has become increasingly clear in recent years. The contested nature of identity is widely addressed in the social sciences, but sport as a particularly revealing site of such contestation, in both industrialising and post-industrial nations, has been less fruitfully explored. Further, sport and sporting corporations are increasingly powerful players in the world economy. Sport is now central to the social and technological development of mass media, notably in telecommunications and digital television. It is also a crucial medium through which specific populations and political elites communicate and interact with each other on a global stage. Berg publishers are pleased to announce a new book series that will examine and evaluate the role of sport in the contemporary world. Truly global in scope, the series seeks to adopt a grounded, constructively critical stance towards prior work within sport studies and to answer such questions as: • How are sports experienced and practised at the everyday level within local settings? • How do specific cultures construct and negotiate forms of social stratification (such as gender, class, ethnicity) within sporting contexts? • What is the impact of mediation and corporate globalisation upon local sports cultures? Determinedly interdisciplinary, the series will nevertheless privilege anthropological, historical and sociological approaches, but will consider submissions from cultural studies, economics, geography, human kinetics, international relations, law, philosophy and political science.

  • Ligue 1 Guide 2021/22
    2021/2022 Ligue 1 Preview Guide INTRODUCTION After a historically close title race that saw four teams in the running Ligue 1 is back with no small amount of fanfare following a busy summer. Of those four sides, while Lille and Lyon have been relatively quiet as they try to consolidate under new managers, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain have been eager participants in the mercato, buying well in a way that addresses the two sides’ needs. Nice and Rennes have also done some canny business in the offseason, to say nothing of Marseille’s flood of arrivals, but the discussions about pro- spective title favorites in France have to start and end with the capital side. Even as rumors swirl around the potential departure of Kylian Mbappé, it’s hard to argue that Paris Saint-Ger- main haven’t done their utmost to convince their young star to stay. At least, that is, if one judges by their transfer activity. The arrivals of Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Achraf Hakimi have bolstered Mauricio Pochettino’s side in key areas whilst also adding another layer of dynamism. If he can keep his squad happy and balanced, this team looks as potent as any in Europe, Elsewhere, Monaco are probably best-equipped to challenge, even as they will have to contend with playing European football. The arrivals of Myron Boadu, Alexander Nübel and Ismail Jakobs look to be upgrades, and so long as Niko Kovac’s exciting, front-foot football remains in place and so do all of its key elements.

  • Ligue-1-2016 2017.Pdf
    A Note from the Editor: For many, Ligue 1 cannot restart quickly enough following an almost perfect, but fundamentally cruel EURO 2016 for France on home soil. The pain suffered on that night in Paris by Didier Deschamps’s men and an entire nation remains all the more heartrending because of the newfound professionalism that Les Bleus conducted themselves with throughout the tournament. Karim Benzema antics aside, contrary to years of squad infighting, the team spirit inside the French camp was the strongest it had been since 2000. On the pitch, France proved that they are on the cusp of a new golden generation, with Samuel Umtiti, Kingsley Coman and Antoine Griezmann all shining. Although some of Les Bleus’ much touted young guns fell short of expectations, namely Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial, France’s U19 EURO win further confirms that the future is astonishingly bright for French football on the international scene. One would not be foolish to expect there to be some turnover of talent for the 2018 World Cup cycle, with Patrice Evra and others’ involvement coming to an end. Much like Les Bleus therefore, Ligue 1 too can expect a very different feel for the 2016/17 season. PSG have entered a new era after President Al Khelaifi’s obsession for progression in the Champions’ League failed to be adequately satisfied by Laurent Blanc, leading to the latter’s dismissal. Les Parisiens have appointed Unai Emery in Blanc’s place, who brings a new-age management approach that relies on a squad instead of a team of individuals, a charge often leveled at Blanc’s PSG.
