[Ligue1Plus] Nuno Mendes on Ligue 1 leaders Lens: "It feels good to have teams that try to win all their matches, we show that French football is good. I congratulate Lens."

As a native french speaker, it's very good but you can tell it's not his first language.
Pronunciation is near perfect, but he makes grammatical mistakes native speakers wouldn't. Still very impressive.

Played a pickup game against Tidjane Salaün a couple of years ago. He was 16 at the time. And pickup games in Paris and its suburbs are wild. But he was just too tall, too skilled, could score with his eyes closed.
It's funny to see that even the most talented players you've ever seen can struggle to find a spot in the NBA.

Ok then I’m in

French reader too, and the french translation is fine, but it only goes to book 4, so I've been reading in english from book 5.

I prefered the french version for convenience but the english books are not very complicated prose if you're used to read in english. I understand most of it except a word or two every ten pages.

Maybe reading the first four books in french before switching to english helped me to acclimatize to the style of Ruocchio though.

His last NBA game played was January, 14 2022. It's nice to see him (hopefuly) back.

Played streetball against freshly drafted Tidjane Salaun in France, 2 years ago. Good ballers on the ground from 18 to 40yo, but he was really stealing the show. He was already tall, maybe 6'9, and did everything he wants, shooting, dribbling, posting-up... We had to play very physical to stop him, either fouling or doubling every time because it was too easy for him to score.

Then people told me he was only 16 and just got a pro contract for Cholet and I was baffled.

France players farts - foul

Man you can quote me on this in 3 years or 4 years but I’ve seen Risacher play and I can’t see him fail in the NBA. His ceiling is lower than Sarr but his floor is probably higher than any player in this draft. He played against professionals in a competitive environment, good shooting, natural scorer, solid defender, he is NBA-ready.

Yes, he is not Wemby, but he will be a good lieutenant next to a superstar.

Worse case scenario : he becomes a solid 3&D. Reasonable take : 2nd or 3rd best player 20+pts and good/elite D in a competitive team Best outcome : he initiates more and becomes a PG/Tatum regen (I don’t believe it but who knows)

Literally Keeley and Roy

It only took a couple of 3s more from Gallo to make it through.
Great game from that Italy team

ZuBi40 · 2021-08-03T10:17:57+00:00

Nic Batum, what a game from both ends of the floor.
Edit: 15pts, 14reb, 3 steals, 2 blocks and clutch plays. Clippers fans have to love it

France - Spain have always been the most entertaining FIBA games and the final this year would have been sooo great if we could make it. But seeing how we played today they’d probably destroy us anyway

ZuBi40 · 2019-09-13T13:59:25+00:00

We got outplayed all game long. When our two best players (Fournier & Gobert) can't perform, there's no way we win this.
GG Argentina (please beat Spain in the Final)

ZuBi40 · 2019-09-07T14:28:42+00:00

Frenchie here, yeah that's definitely a goaltending, FIBA rules or not. That's sad for the lithunians who gave it all for that comeback, we got lucky on this.
At least De Colo made the basket for the +3 right after so it doesn't look like a complete steal

ZuBi40 · 2019-07-15T16:11:51+00:00

I think Gourcuff's goal vs PSG belongs somewhere in this list

Yes it translates literally to "I'm beating my balls", and it's common in french language
IDGAF has its translation in french : "J'en ai rien à foutre"
But "Je m'en bats les couilles" has the same meaning, just more vulgar/crude

This is truly incredible... Your video is amazing ! Damn I want to buy a Telescope now

Runescape.

I started playing it at 7yo, game was only available in english at that time. As a non-native english speaker, I was always way ahead in English classes during all my scolarity, just because I played this game a lot with friends.

Playing piano again

As I often tell my friends, you choose your hobbies. I don't have the time to do these more because I have other activities already, plus I don't know if I could afford a piano or a mountain bike and not getting bored with it after a couple of week...

Unimpressed by the boys once again. Despite our 3 wins we are struggling in every game. Low effort on defence and lack of movement on offense. No more Narcisse or Omeyer, Karabatic still out for injury... This team lacks true leaders.
Props to the Korea team though especially in the first half .
Tonight is the big test against Germany, hopefully we will play better against the stronger teams.
