Discussion in ' France ' started by SportBoy , Jul 11, Jul 19, Nat'l Team: Italy. In Italy footballers pay exactly the same taxes as normal citizens. Thanks so much for that - it really helped me understand how French football is run. Jun 3, Jun 27, Ligue 1 is becoming like other leagues where the top 2 or 3 teams buy all the best domestic talent and weaken everyone else thus widening the gap between them.
I'm pointing the finger at OM and OL of course. They have the money to sign foreign players but they refuse. PSG have only signed 1 L1 player so far.
Monaco used to be able to sign the best of L1 and sign good foreigners but they cant do either anymore. Bordeaux have never been big spenders. I dont like how things are headed. Catel Member. The French rugby clubs are now stealing players from the Australian rugby league NRL and converting them to union. Go on any Australian rugby league forum and there are debates and arguements about it. In terms of sports at the club level French rugby is doing really well right now while basketball is in the shitter and soccer is in between.
Basketball players in France are going straight to the NBA rather than signing with a "bigger" European team. I dont think there are too many French players playing in the Euroleague who arent on French teams. May 26, the dirty south. Bartio88 New Member.
Dec 23, Ligue 1 is utter shit. Worst league in the world full with hilarious limited Africans who can't shoot to stay alive. Oh and Zidane has nothing on Roman Riquelme. Roman touches the ball somewhat like I do with women. His deadly killer passes are something like a smart blond woman. Unseen before. Zidane is an aggressive Arab who on occasions has performed well. Roman beats him at every aspect of the game attackingly, except for the little bit luck Zidane has.
