I thought he was moroccan...

He is

I thought he was moroccan...

Only two-thirds of Moroccans speak French versus nearly all that speak Arabic or the Berber languages.

Yes, but that's still a large proportion speaking French. I don't know if French is the first foreign language taught at Moroccan schools, but like said, I hadn't noticed that Hakimi was born in Spain to Moroccan parents and therefore gave his post game interview in Spanish.

 

[Evilo]

Clermont scored their first ever L1 goal only to see it rejected by VAR.... even though there's zero offside...

 

[Evilo]

Nice putting a huge pressure on Reims, but no goal yet.

 

[Evilo]

Clermont now leads at Bordeaux. Well deserved too, they should be up 4-0 if not for reffing and Costil standing on his head.
Wonderful job by the other promoted side. Expected given the quality of their play.

 

[gary69]

Lille equalizes 6 mins into the extra-time, Burak Ilmaz still getting it done. Lidhaj had a good game.

 

[Evilo]

YYes Lihadji comes in and assists twice to go from 1-3 to 3-3.
Niane and Sarr are still awesome players for Metz. Centonze as well.
This is not going to be an easy season for Lille with the CL games midweek. Especially if they lose Botman or others (lots of rumors).

 

[S E P H]

Lol Bordeaux, losing to a scrub club.

 

[ecemleafs]

konrad starting for marseille

 

[ecemleafs]

absolute trash from mandanda on that 2nd goal. has an easy chance to catch a cross and he punches it out. then doesnt even try to stop a long range stop (he wasnt getting near the ball).

 

[Evilo]

Doing well, as the whole OM squad, but Montpellier up 2-0...

You look at Saliba and Guendouzi and you have to laugh at Arsenal.

 

[Evilo]

Mandanda is probably past it. They brought a competitive backup so everyone knows it. But he's the captain and a true good guy. Not easy.

 

[gary69]

It was a nice curled shot by Laborde.

Yep, I think I already wrote in last season's thread that he had more than few shaky matches then.

 

[Evilo]

Yes, but he was awesome in the first 10 games last year. Doesn't look to be able to get back to that.

 

[ecemleafs]

konrad is phenomenal

 

[ecemleafs]

dont given free kicks away at the top of the box. 2-2 now. payet.

 

[ecemleafs]

this marseille montpellier match has been very entertaining

 

[gary69]

Marseille has taken over the game and Payet puts them ahead after a nice dribble.

 

[ecemleafs]

payet with the 3rd goal! some performance in this 2nd half from marseille. 3-2.

 

[ecemleafs]

montpellier ultras causing the match to be stopped. throwing things onto the pitch.

 

[Evilo]

OM was easily the best team in the first half too.
Just unfortunate to give up those 2 goals.

 

[Evilo]

So Promoted side Clermont has 3 players and its coach in L'Equipe's XI of the week.
To be fair, Pape Matar Sarr dominated his game per all accounts (including mine) but got a 5 so those marks aren't really the best.
Still, not bad. Especially since they played away for their first ever L1 game.

 

[S E P H]

I told you lot that Payet is a magician from the nether-realm, he brings tricks to show the world how much class he has. West Ham is a banter organisation for getting rid of him.
