Colorado Rapids 2-0 Real Salt Lake
By Kyle | May 15th, 2008Throw all the trash you like, Salt Lakers. The Rocky Mountain Cup is coming back to Colorado. Let me start by offering a formal apology for predicting yesterday that Salt Lake would score a goal. That was shameful and, in retrospect, I don’t k ...
Colorado Rapids 2-0 DC United
By Kyle | May 4th, 2008How good are the Rapids? On Sunday, the Rapids outplayed DC United by any measure, and I still think they underperformed. I really think they could have scored three or four if they had just finished on a few of the opportunities they had in the fi ...
"A Point is Good"...WTF?
By Inara | May 4th, 2008I 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 ...
Fabio Grosso Bitchslaps a Player, Plus Other Lyon Nuggets
By Inara | April 26th, 2008Fabio 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 ...
Rant of the Day: Lyon Are...Shittastic!
By Inara | April 16th, 2008Remember 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 t ...
MLSLIVE.tv Owes Me $0.50; Tough Loss in a Weird Venue, Yeah?
By Jeff | April 6th, 2008So, there I am, watching the clock through my (soon-to-be) 10-year-old's birthday party, figuring I can just wait for the archived footage of the Kansas City Wizards v. Colorado Rapids. While they're downstairs watching Little Miss Sunshine, it's ab ...
Colorado Over LA - Yeah, It Was That Bad
By Jeff | March 30th, 2008I think this gets it about right: Things didn't look so bleak for the Los Angeles Galaxy by the end of the first half. And, yeah, one could argue Omar Cummings picked up a soft penalty kick; as Max Bretos noted in his commentary Cummings popp ...
Lyon Aren't Out of Europe Just Yet...
By Inara | March 29th, 2008At 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 hav ...
International Results
By Inara | March 26th, 2008International "day" is over, so Alain Perrin can breath a sigh of relief as his players can now turn their attention back to Lyon and their march towards the double. Though Karim Benzema had to drop out due to injury, 16 senior players were called aw ...
Rapids' Bermudan Banana Peel
By Jeff | March 17th, 2008Last Friday (or whenever March 14 was), the Colorado Rapids lost to the Bermudan National Team, the same team, mind, the New England Revolution beat 8-1 on aggregate back in February. The 2-1 loss doesn't make for the happiest of reading for Rapids fans,
Monaco 0 - 3 Lyon: Goals and Gymnastics Galore as Kader Keita Steals the Show
By Inara | March 15th, 2008I present to you the resurgence of Kader Keita... Goals: Lyon (Keita 20, 38; Fred 35) Tactics: Coupet Clerc - Cris - Boumsong - Grosso Bodmer - Toulalan - Kallstrom Keita - Fred - Benzema The only surprise was Sebastien Sq
Playing Ketchup
By Jeff | March 6th, 2008I just spent a few days off the grid and can't say I recommend it for precisely the same reason I don't go camping. I mean, a lot of people put a lot of time and effort into inventing all our modern conveniences. Not using them seems a little rude. A
Not Again! Manchester United 1 - 0 Lyon
By Inara | March 5th, 2008I really don't want to write a post match review (notice how I tend to avoid doing those for games that Lyon lose?), but I have to be brave and face up the fact that last night, Lyon once again fell short of their - and our - expectations. Side no ...
What the Rapids Do, You Cannot Know...Except When We Tell You
By Jeff | February 25th, 2008One of the first things I learned by eavesdropping on Colorado Rapids fans and blogs - and not just today, but over time - is that "the organization" isn't the best about information sharing. As I understand it, they view blogs as "peasants"; it's possib
Winning Makes Me Feel Good
By Inara | January 25th, 2008It feels like forever since the last time Lyon not only won a game, but did so with a clean sheet. The last three Lyon games have been rather depressing, with the last two games resulting in heavy losses, with an understrength Le Mans dumping us out of th
Dejection
By Inara | January 16th, 2008I think the picture below sums up how I feel. Someone give Juninho a tissue. And give me one too. Goals: Le Mans (Matsui 28) I haven't seen the game yet and only saw very brief highlights, but from what I was able to glean from mat
Rangers 0 - 3 Lyon: Ibrox Conquered
By Inara | December 13th, 2007Against all odds, OL booked their place in the last 16 of the Champions League. After losing their first two games in a disastrous start, Lyon have slowly but surely rebuilt themselves into a strong and competitive side that deserve their place at the big
Caen 1 - 0 Lyon: Lyon Lose, No One Really Cares
By Inara | December 9th, 2007This must be the first time I've ever gotten a match predication right. Yesterday I said that Caen could snatch a not-so-shocking 1-0 result due to Lyon's Champions League obligations, and I was right. Ben Arfa: not as decisive today. The
Lyon 5 - 0 Strasbourg - A Walk In the Park
By Inara | December 3rd, 2007Until this afternoon, Strasbourg had the second best defensive record in the league. But 90 minutes later, they were left behind on the sidewalk as Lyon strolled to a comfortable 5-0 win. This game is especially notable for Francois Clerc, who scored his
The Women Lead the Way
By Inara | November 30th, 2007Lyon have been waiting for a European title for a long time. Except it turns out that the ladies just might beat the men in bringing home that coveted prize. Though this year was the debut of OL Ladies in Europe, they're three games away from clinching Fr
RAWR!!! Don't Look Now But Here We Come!
By Inara | November 28th, 2007Today Lyon crawled back from behind twice to draw with Barcelona at the Gerland. While a win would have been much sweeter, at least Lyon are still in the running for a place in the knockout rounds of the Champions League (thanks to our German friends over
Ladies: Lyon 0 - 0 Arsenal
By Inara | November 16th, 2007Yesterday was the first leg tie of the UEFA Women's Cup quarterfinals, with Lyon playing first leg against the title holders Arsenal at the Stade de Gerland. Arsenal, who've steam rolled every team they've come up against so far, were forced to conten
Holy Shit! Now That Was a Beautiful Game!!!
By Inara | November 8th, 2007From now on, I'm going to stop making predictions. In my match preview, I was expecting a drab 1-0 scoreline. Umm, obviously I was off. How off, you ask? Well, today's match between Lyon and Stuttgart featured six goals - and a missed penalty!!!!
Lyon Are Back in Business
By Inara | November 4th, 2007Lyon snatched their fifth straight league win (now undefeated in 10 league matches) to retain a four point lead on second placed Nancy. Juninho scored the third header of his entire career to open the scoring five minutes from half time, and Sidney Govou
The Lillois Save the Day!
By Inara | November 1st, 2007First of all, apologies to anyone who decided to watch the first 75 minutes of Lyon's Coupe de la Ligue match against Caen. If you're like me, you might have been wondering which team was newly promoted and which team had won their sixth title. If logic w
Pauleta 2 - 3 Lyon. Boring? I don't think so.
By Inara | October 30th, 2007Today's game between French heavyweights PSG and Lyon was a slap in the face of L1's goal drought. Ninety minutes of goals, near misses, off the post shots, red and yellow cards, and a heated audience kept anyone watching riveted to their seats.
*GASP* Lyon Won a European Game!
By Inara | October 24th, 2007Many of us were expecting the worst. After all, conceding six goals in two matches is hardly indicative of a European side. But somehow Lyon got their act together and came away with a 2-0 victory at Stuttgart. It was a stressful game, and I think Stu
Lyon - Monaco In Progress
By Inara | October 20th, 2007Sorry guys, but I've been so busy with other stuff that I didn't have time to write up a pre-match post on Lyon's home game against Monaco. So here is a "in progress" post. By the time I post this, the game will be near its end, so consider this a post-ma
Lyon End Up Scalping Bordeaux, Benzema Is Irresistible
By Inara | October 8th, 2007Karim Benzema scored his tenth league goal of the season in Lyon's 3-0 defeat of title contenders Bordeaux. And guess who provided the assist? Hatem Ben Arfa. It should also be noted that the referee wrongfully disallowed another Benzema goal though it wa
Good Ship Lyon Sinks To Bottom of Group E
By Inara | October 3rd, 2007I was going to do a post-match analysis, but given the comments in the previous post, it's probably unnecessary at this point. Besides, I don't know what sort of analysis I could offer because I'm at a loss as to what happened. Today's loss to Rangers was
