Dumas’ time ticking away?

By: Chris | Comments 3 Comments

Sources tell me that SM Caen Manager Franck Dumas has been given until the winter break to improve, or else he could be sacked. If Caen is still bottom feeders in December, the board will meet and decide his fate.
While Dumas has done great things for the team, including a promotion, this could be for [...]

BREAKING NEWS: Gouffran set to move to PSG!

By: Chris | Comments 7 Comments

I have heard from my sources that Yoan Gouffran will be out of Caen during the January transfer window. This is huge news. PSG, who is also not having a walk in the park, will be inheriting a great striker. It seemed for a while that Arsenal would be a lock to get him, but [...]

Caen 1 Metz 2

By: Chris | Comments 2 Comments

Caen is fading, fading fast. This game was probably more of a must win than any this season. The glimmers of brilliance that we viewed this year seem to be just ripples in the relegation water. This team is in trouble. They are in big trouble.
Caen’s world is going up in flames….and all we can [...]

You cannot win if you cannot score…..0-3 in favor of St. Etienne.

By: Chris | Comments 2 Comments

Caen is really playing absolutely horrible against (in my opinion) rather even competition. I dont know if we did not make enough moves in the transfer window, if the team has trouble adjusting to top-level football, or what. 0-3 in favor of St. Etienne.
Caen does what they seem to do best. Miss opportunities that seem [...]

France RWC 2007/Caen-St. Etienne

By: Chris | Comments 2 Comments

As a blogger of a French soccer club, I want to wish XV de France good luck in the 2007 Rugby World Cup.
France plays Argentina at 3 p.m. EST.

And now, onto Caen. They suit up against St. Etienne next weekend (because of the international break), which will be far from easy. St. Etienne has gotten [...]

Caen-Sochaux: The Goals

By: Chris | Comments 2 Comments

Here is the first goal for Caen by Eluchans:

This is the later go-ahead by Proment:

I find it odd that when we are really playing well, we have flashes of brilliance, but when we are off we look absolutely terrible…

Caen 2 Sochaux 2

By: Chris | Comments No Comments

Well, Caen gets the point but proves that they cannot hold onto leads if their life depended on it.
Eluchans gets a goal in the 32′ and Proment puts us ahead again in the 65′, but a penalty shot by Birsa in the 73′ makes a 2-2 draw.
Caen really, really needs to learn how to finish [...]

No thank you, I think I’ll just wear my undershirt.

By: Chris | Comments 8 Comments

I have been waiting for Caen to make their new kits available for sale since before the season started. The kits are very nice, even though they are a bit cluttered in sponsorship. Finally, I check and they are selling them…….for 65€ . 65 €?!?!?!?!?!? Thats $88.63 USD. That, with how much it costs to [...]

Recent Tragic World Soccer Developments/Caen’s “Rain Date”

By: Chris | Comments 1 Comment

First off, and more importantly than any match I could ever talk about, two soccer players died this week. By now, everyone has heard the tragic story of Antonio Puerta of Sevilla and has probably seen the painful video. Another soccer player, Zambian International Chaswe Nsofwa died during practice with his team Hapoel Beersheva, an [...]
