That run comprised seven wins and five draws. • Les Verts' nine-game unbeaten home run in Europe stretches back to the quarter-finals of the 1980/81 UEFA Cup, when a team featuring UEFA President Michel Platini lost 4-1 to Ipswich Town FC at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

Ces trois joueurs ont créé la surprise, car ils n’ont jamais encore porté le maillot bleu de l’équipe de France ! Le gardien de but Cedric Carrasso, le défenseur Marc Planus et le milieu offensif Mathieu Valbuena.(©AFPPHOTO/NICOLAS TUCAT/PIERRE ANDRIEU/GERARD JULIEN) D’où vient le mot « football » ? Le mot « football » vient de l’anglais « foot » qui signifie « pied » et « ball » qui signifie « ballon ». Ce nom a été repris dans la plupart des pays du monde, à quelques exceptions près. Par exemple, les Italiens parlent de calcio, qui désigne un « coup de pied », et les Américains jouent au soccer. Le football est le sport le plus pratiqué dans le monde. Que dit l’actu ? Le suspense est terminé ! Enfin presque… À moins d’un mois du début de la Coupe du monde, la liste des 24 joueurs français sélectionnés a été révélée ce lundi. Grosse déception, donc, pour les 6 joueurs, qui figuraient sur la liste des 30 noms retenus, la semaine dernière, et qui se voyaient déjà sur les pelouses d’Afrique du Sud. Parmi eux, Hatem Ben Arfa, Adil Rami ou encore Mickaël Landreau. La liste finale ne devait comporter que 23 noms mais, suite à la blessure au mollet de William Gallas, le sélectionneur Raymond Domenech a choisi de conserver un bonus, en attendant de connaître l’état physique du défenseur.
