3 chocs :
-Le Mans/Lens
-Strasbourg/Nancy
-St étienne/Lille

-Grenoble (L2)/Lyon
-Marseille/Le havre (L2)
-Rhone vallée (CFA2)/Monaco
-Noisy-le-sec (CFA)/Auxerre
-Vermelles (DH)/PSG
-Corte (CFA2)/Rennes
-Bastia (L2)/Louhans-Cuisaux (Nat)

Oh putain! We're away! We're bound to lose!

But Corte are playing in CFA2, so i'm sure Rennes can beat them
Order: Ligue 1; Ligue 2; Nationnal; CFA; CFA2; DH; Ligue.

Je ne serais pas trop sur. If Man Utd can lose to Burton Albion Like they did a couple of weeks ago (admittedly a friendly) then Corte are strong enough to beat us.

Finally Rennes's players and Auxerre's players will play at home for their matches against Corte and Noisy-le-sec.

ah no finally the match Corte-Rennes will be at Ajaccio !

Yo ho, I'm back after being tres busy over the Christmas period, rendre viste aux grand-meres and such like, trying to keep the fake smile seem genuine after my 21st pair of socks (not joking, I did get that many). My Sky package finally started to work yesterday after a fortnight (in which I've forked out nearly £100 on being put on hold and paying for a service I wasn't receiving). That means that I finally have Eurosport, and Bravo so I'm well chuffed, but that doesn't increase the amount of French football on telly sadly.

Having the matches at home will only mean that the stadiums will be half-empty. Not good for the atmosphere...

Oh, so the gars still have to travel overseas, they'll be delighted I'm sure, to go all that way to probably get humiliated by a CFA2 team.

great, so now you can watch Federer demolish his adversaries every week !

1/8ème de finale de la Coupe de France:

-Lyon-la-duchère(CFA)/PSG
-Colmar(CFA2)/Rennes
-Marseille/Chateauroux or Sochaux
-Montpellier or Roye/Bordeaux
-Nantes/Dijon(L2)

Oh no! We're away again! We almost lost to Corte 2 rounds ago away (well, it was acutally played at Ajaccio's ground in the end). I dread to think what will happen at Colmar if we go and play with the form we're currently in

I agree, Colmar v Rennes could be a very interesting fixture! Also, I thinnk that Bastia could have a shock waiting for Lyon!

I predict that Lille will win it though, what do you guys think?

Nantes will be the surprise package for me

I think Lyon-la-duchère will beat easily PSG 6-0 . ok it's just a dream
Allez Lyon-la-duchère !

It's brilliant seeing so many 'lesser' teams make it so far in the cup. I'm not really an expert in French football so I was hoping one of you guys could tell me why this is? It seems to happen every season?! Is it because France has two cup competitions and that the 'big boys' only play to win one of them?

Yes, i think it's because there is two cup competitions.This year Lyon didn't show their best team in the two competitions. Last year the two finals were:
-Auxerre(L1)/Sedan(L2): 2-1 for la Coupe de France
-Strasbourg(L1)/Caen(L2):2-1 for la Coupe de la ligue.

So close for Sedan, their end of the stade de France was full! Il y a un raison pour les grandes clubs ne pas etre au point dans les coups?

I don't know the reasons. Maybe it's because there is a lot of matches, so they can't be good in all the competitions.
