Previous meetings • The sides are facing each other for the first time and it is the first time PSG have tackled a Greek side in the UEFA Champions League. • The Greek champions have a long history against French opposition and were paired with Montpellier Hérault SC last season, Olympique de Marseille the previous year and FC Girondins de Bordeaux in the 2009/10 round of 16. • In 26 games Olympiacos have a record of W10 D3 L13 (W6 D2 L5 at home). Last season they beat Montpellier 3-1 at home and 2-1 away, Kostas Mitroglou scoring in both games. • That home win ended a run of four successive losses inflicted on Olympiacos by French visitors. One of those came the previous season against Marseille (0-1) although victory by the same scoreline in the reverse fixture ended a run of seven successive defeats, home and away, against Ligue 1 clubs. • PSG are unbeaten in all seven of their contests against Greek sides, winning six and drawing one, and are yet to concede a goal. They last visited Greece for a 2006/07 UEFA Cup round of 32 tie against AEK Athens FC, winning 2- 0 and the home leg by the same score a week later. Match background • Olympiacos are in their 15th participation, with their best achievement a run to the 1998/99 quarter-finals. • Last season they finished third in Group B. After losing 2-1 at home to FC Schalke 04 on matchday one they won their two other home games, against Montpellier and against Arsenal FC, the latter victory extending their run of home success to seven wins in nine group games. • Olympiacos also finished third in their group in 2011/12 when they again lost their matchday one home fixture, against Marseille. • In the UEFA Champions League for the sixth time, last year PSG finished top of their group and progressed to the quarter-finals where they drew 2-2 at home to FC Barcelona and 1-1 in Spain, losing on away goals. They started the campaign with a 4-1 home win against FC Dynamo Kyiv and on their travels lost 1-0 at FC Porto before beating both GNK Dinamo Zagreb and Dynamo 2-0. • The French champions also won away in the round of 16, 2-1 at Valencia CF, with the home leg ending 1-1. Team ties • Laurent Blanc and Míchel faced each other when France and Spain met in a UEFA EURO '92 qualifier in Paris on 20 February 1991. Blanc scored France's final goal in a 3-1 win. • Blanc and Olympiacos' former player and current strategic adviser Christian Karembeu were members of the France team that won the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000. • Blanc started all four of Manchester United FC's UEFA Champions League first group stage games against Olympiacos in 2001/02 and 2002/03, all ending in United victories. Blanc scored the opening goal in a 3-2 win in Piraeus on 23 October 2002. • Several Olympiacos players have had spells at French clubs: Paulo Machado (AS Saint-Étienne and Toulouse FC), Javier Saviola (AS Monaco FC), Carl Medjani (St-Étienne, FC Lorient, FC Metz, AC Ajaccio and Monaco), Joel Campbell (Lorient), Gaëtan Bong (Metz, Tours FC and Valenciennes FC), Delvin Ndinga (AJ Auxerre and Monaco) and Sambou Yatabaré (SM Caen, Monaco and SC Bastia).

Entraîneur : Christian Gourcuff Sans vraiment rassurer ni pour autant (trop) inquiéter son large public, la sélection nationale s’est contentée d’un match nul, hier en début de soirée, sur la pelouse de Radès face à une équipe tunisienne sans génie, mais engagée et combattive qui aura au moins eu le mérite d’avertir Gourcuff et sa troupe sur les difficultés qui les attendent en Guinée équatoriale et le long chemin qui reste à parcourir avant d’aspirer à monter sur le toit de l’Afrique. Dès la 6e minute de jeu et suite à un corner mal repoussé par l’arrière-garde algérienne, Raguedi allumera la première mèche de ce flamboyant derby maghrébin en envoyant un missile dans le haut du petit filet de M’bolhi. La réplique algérienne se fera presque aussitôt par l’entremise de Feghouli qui, suite à un relais de Slimani, effacera Abdennour d’un subtile crochet extérieur avant de placer d’un intelligent enveloppé du droit la balle à un cheveu de la base du montant gauche du keeper tunisien (10’).

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.

  • Kahlil Gibran a Tear and a Smile (1950)
    “perplexity is the beginning of knowledge…” Kahlil Gibran A Tear and A Smile (1950) STYLIN’! SAMBA JOY VERSUS STRUCTURAL PRECISION THE SOCCER CASE STUDIES OF BRAZIL AND GERMANY Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan P. Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.

  • 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.

  • Aoudia, Le Récidiviste !
    Sport / Actualité foot Actualité foot Aoudia, le récidiviste ! Mohamed Amine Aoudia a refait son coup samedi après-midi en étant l’un des artisans du match nul ramené par son équipe Dynamo Dresde de son déplacement chez Arminia Bielefeld pour le compte de la 17e journée de la Bundesliga 2. Après avoir en effet grandement contribué à la victoire de son team face au leader Kaiserslautern la semaine passée (3-2), l’ex-attaquant de l’ESS et de la JSK a récidivé samedi cette fois en égalisant pour son équipe à la toute ultime minute de la rencontre. Menés au score à l’heure de jeu, les équipiers d’Idir Ouali ont du attendre l’entrée en jeu de l’attaquant international algérien lequel parvint a égaliser a peine dix minutes après avoir fait son entrée sur le terrain soit sur leur dernière action offensive de la partie. Un but d’une tête imparable qui ne laissa aucune chance au portier local et que l’Algérien a tenu à fêter à sa manière avec ses supporters et ses coéquipiers. C’est le cinquième but de l’ancien joueur du Zamalek depuis qu’il a rejoint Dresde l’été dernier en provenance de l’Entente de Sétif. En outre, grâce a cette réalisation qui a permis à son équipe d’engranger un précieux point qui l’a propulsée a la 12e place au classement, fuyant du coup la zone des relégables qui lui collait depuis l’entame du championnat, l’ancien pensionnaire du CRB a vu sa cote grimper au sein des fans locaux lesquels à travers leurs commentaires sur les réseaux sociaux se demandent toujours pourquoi son entraîneur ne l’utilise pas comme titulaire à part entière d’autant plus qu’il a les moyens pour apporter un plus au niveau de leur attaque, lui qui est devenu maintenant l’un des meilleurs buteurs de la Bundesliga 2.
