Spain has managed to become World Champion in only scoring eight goals in seven games, a record of infertility since 1954 (where you have to play seven games before lifting the trophy). England 1966 (11 goals scored) held the previous record. Not sure if it spoils the party on the other side of the Pyrenees…

Lyon: Perrin contacteGerard Houllier will play his last game this Saturday at the head of the team OL. As might be expected for several days, the Lyon coach has resigned. Alain Perrin and Didier Deschamps are the names that come up most often to replace Houllier.

If the name of Marcelo Lippi has been mentioned, the track seems more serious for the moment, led by Alain Perrin, the current technician FC Sochaux, recent winner of Coupe de France. Former Marseille coach who has the advantage of speaking French, which is required for the President of the OL, also admits to have been contacted. President Aulas explained to me how things worked with him. There may be one or two candidates, I also read newspapers. I did not ask. Furthermore Perrin, Didier Deschamps, and Claude Puel tracks are possible and feasible.
