    Ma Vie, Mon Oeuvre, Mon Cul (philoumiha) Ceci est une fiction. Toute ressemblance avec des personnes de la vie réelle ou avec des faits historiques avérés serait complètement involontaire de ma part. Mardi 17 juin 2008, abords du Stade de Suisse, Berne. - C'est vraiment dommage, on fait un gros match. Je suis vraiment fier de mes joueurs. On a pas eu beaucoup de réussite mais y'avait quand même des choses interessantes. - Mais quand même, perdre 6-1 face à la Pologne alors qu'on attendait une réaction d'orgueil de la part de l'équipe, ca fait beaucoup. - Libre à vous de voir les choses comme ca. De toute facon, c'est facile de critiquer. Mais je maintiens que je suis content de la performance des garcons. On a pas eu de chance. Y'a qu'à voir les stats du match. 1 tir pour nous, 1 but. 27 tirs pour eux, 6 buts. Ca nous fait du 100%, pas eux. Les mathématiques et les astres ne mentent jamais. - Vous avez des regrets sur ce match? - Non, on a fait ce qu'il fallait. Faut dire aussi que l'arbitre a pas été très loyal. Regardez à 10 minutes de la fin, Machinski fait une faute qui mérite un jaune. Et l'arbitre sort pas le carton. Dans ces conditions, pas facile de gagner. - Votre avenir, c'est quoi? - En ce moment, je pense juste à me marier. D'ailleurs Estelle, ma mie, ma douce, ma bitch, veux-tu m'epousailler?

  • Football, Immigrations Et Outre-Mer En Équipe De France (1918-2018)
    FOOTBALL, IMMIGRATIONS ET OUTRE-MER EN ÉQUIPE DE FRANCE (1918-2018) L’histoire du football en équipe de France ne peut se concevoir sans l’apport multiple des outre-mer (Antilles, Guyane, Océanie et océan Indien) et d’une immigration venue des quatre coins d’Europe, du Maghreb, d’Afrique noire et de l’Amérique du Sud. Chaque grande vague d’immigration et de présence se retrouve au niveau de l’équipe nationale, et l’intégration des représentants les plus brillants des communautés étrangères illustre la notion de « creuset français ». Près de 350 joueurs de l’équipe nationale, soit plus d’un tiers, ont un parent ou un grand-parent d’origine étrangère ou ultramarine, ou ont eux-mêmes été naturalisés après avoir migré en France. Ces internationaux ont arboré le maillot des Bleus de la première Coupe du monde en 1930 en Uruguay à celle de 2018 en Russie. Également présents en championnat de France, des joueurs belges et luxembourgeois s’illustrent dès la première Coupe de France en 1917-1918 et inaugurent un long récit d’un siècle dans les compétitions sportives en France. Le Onze de France est désormais l’histoire de joueurs et joueuses de toutes origines et aux destins emblématiques : les Algériens Zinédine Zidane et Rachid Mekhloufi, le Sénégalo-Guyanais Raoul Diagne, le Néo-Calédonien Christian Karembeu, le Polonais Raymond Kopaszewski, l’Autrichien Rodolphe Hiden ainsi que la Martiniquaise Wendie Renard et l’Ivoirienne Marie-Laure Delie. Écrivant les plus belles heures du football français, ils et elles conduisent par deux fois à la victoire en Europe (1984 et 2000), une fois à la conquête du titre mondial (1998), une fois à la finale (2006) et une fois à celle du titre olympique (1984).
