Both Lyon and Nice went out. Lyon in a 'shock' result to Clermont (penalties I think) and Nice to local rivals (grr!)Nîmes (4-0 )

I watched (well listened to as I was doing some work) a bit of the Nice game on Eurosport 2.

I watched the match between Lyon and Clermont, it was great,with a lot of suspense!! Wiltord equalized at the 93th minute (1-1), so Clermont win thanks to the " tirs au but "(i can't translat). It's well for Clermont because they are in ligue 2 but i think that all the Lyon's players were tired due to their big week.

Tirs au but means shots at goal doesn't it? That can't be the basis on who wins, can it?

It's half time between Rennes and Monaco, and it's 0-0, which is great, however Monaco have had 8 shots to our 2. FORZA KALLSTROM AND THE LADS!

C'est mi-temps entre Rennes et Monaco, et c'est 0-0! Fantastique. Cependant, Monaco a frappe 8 temps, et Rennes seulement 2. ALLEZ KALLSTROM AND THE LADS!

Tirs au but predictably means penalties. Don't know if you know, but Clermont's full name is Clermont Foot

yes, my father said to me that "tirs au but "means penalty in english Clermont's full name is Clermont foot Auvergne .

Go on Nimes! Anyone fancy an each way bet for them to win the Cup?

Nimes a battu Sochaux dans les 1/4 de finale de la Coupe de la ligue !!!!!
Nimes/Sochaux: 4/3 Allez Nimes !
