So a few shadowy FIFA execs attempted to oust the independent ethics investigator who was charged into looking into the Russia and Qatar bids :wtb:

The thing is like an onion, the more layers you peel the more it stinks :wtb:

@Liu Kang
what exactly does pléré mean?
Pléré (french créole) = Pleurer (french) = To cry (english).
@Liu Kang

question - Is it common on some of the other islands to pronounce lagé as lajé?

I was listening to some song today which I don't remember but I remember hearing it in this one?



That's supposed to be cute talk, right?

Other islands as in french west indies ?
Well I heard both but can't tell you if people from different islands. Lagué, Ladjé, Lajé, same thing. Sometimes it depends on the word that come after, on the mood of the one who's talking, on the town one's form, sometimes on the island, it's really undefined. My father for example mostly say "ladjé", but I heard him sometimes say "lagué".
Even in that very song, she said it both ways if you listen closely : at 2:42, she said "lagué", at 2:52, she said "ladjé"...
@Liu Kang



is there any explanation behind this tradition? starts 1:33. i have seen some highlights on jour de foot of different teams doing this, is this simply a french thing?

I don't know if it's a french thing but I did see that type of celebration happening numerous times from french clubs. I played ball in a club and after a match even if it was a loss, we had to do gather and do a battle cry.
But it's usually something you do after a big win, celebrating in the locker room. The classic battle cry you shout is "achik achik achik ? Aie aie aie !" (oggy oggy oggy). I looked around on Youtube and that particular battle cry in the vid seems to be some kind of trademark for St Etienne though (ASSE)

Not sure what to expect this game. I just hope Michu doesn't give us that work again though :sadcam:
