Lorient Edge Lille In Season Opener
By: Julien | 2 Comments
Les Dogues struggled at home in the 2009/2010 season opener. A match marred with defensive errors (”gifts” according to LOSC manager Rudi Garcia). Garcia said Lille failed to take advantage of numerous scoring opportunities. At the beginning of the match Lille placed a lot of attacking pressure on Les Merlus. Despite several chances to score, [...]

Bastos Leads Lille To Victory
By: Julien | 3 Comments
LOSC played its 28th match of this season away against SM Caen. For a club in relegation zone, a win was a priority for Les Caennais. The play was fairly close between the two clubs for most of the match. Lille did appear better physically in the challenges, but Caen hung tough. Discouragement set in [...]
Coupe de France: Lille Eliminates Olympique Lyonnais

Seven time (soon to be eight) Ligue 1 champions Olympique Lyonnais were eliminated from the Coupe de France by Lille this Wednesday. It was a narrow victory for Les Dogues in the Final 8 of this year’s CdF (LOSC 3-2 OL). We only edged the French footie powerhouse (understatement indeed) by 1 goal thanks to [...]

By: Julien | 1 Comment
Lille’s 22nd match of the 2008/09 Ligue 1 season was played last Saturday home against FC Sochaux-Montbéliard, a club desperately trying to avoid relegation. They certainly played desperately by scoring two first half goals. Béria was to blame for one of them by committing a foul on Vaclav Sverkos. It was a frustrating turn [...]
Lille/Sochaux Match Preview

Today, LOSC plays a home match against FC Sochaux-Montbéliard. It should be an easy win for Lille. Last week’s draw against Bordeaux should give our players some confidence. Kickoff is at 21:00H (local French time). I apologize that this blog has been pretty quiet lately. College has been very busy for me. I will have [...]
