Over the last few weeks, Jeu Du Jour has brought to your attention the incredible rise and rise of Auxerre , a team that won only one of their first six games this season but who this weekend took their place at the top of the Ligue 1 table. It's been seven years since they've been at the French football summit, but a run of seven consecutive wins means they've now dislodged champions Bordeaux from...
France midfielder Yoann Gourcuff says the team will not be drawn into a physical battle when it faces Ireland in the first leg of the World Cup playoffs on Saturday.
Bordeaux sealed their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League with a 2-0 win at Bayern Munich. The French champions took the lead in the 38th minute when Wendel's free-kick found an unmarked Yoann Gourcuff and he headed down and in, although Hans-Jorg Butt will be disappointed he could only push the ball into the net. And Moroccan striker Marouane Chamakh clinched maximum points for the...
The pressure mounted on Bayern Munich coach Louis Van Gaal after his side lost at home to goals from Yoann Gourcuff and Marouane Chamakh, making qualification to the Champions League's last 16 very difficult.
Bordeaux qualified for the knockout stage of the Champions League on Tuesday after beating Bayern Munich 2-0. Yoann Gourcuff and Marouane Chamakh both scored to take the French club to 10 points in Group A. Bayern remained in third place with four points.
Who could have thought that Bordeaux-Monaco would be a derby this season? Well, probably no one, but the match between the leaders and the second-placed team have to be called a derby. Both sides recorded easy wins over the relegation strugglers last weekend but this will be a real test for both Bordeaux and Monaco. Bordeaux returned to the top Laurent Blanc’s team are balancing really well between...
All of a sudden, it seems no-one wants to win Ligue 1 this season. Every time a team rises to the top of the pile, they quickly lose their next game and fall from grace again. Such is the case for Lyon who recently replaced long-standing leaders Bordeaux at the top end of Ligue 1. Their trip to Nice seemed barely troublesome after beating Liverpool in the Champions League last week, but they hadn't...
I watched Bordeaux, Milan and Chelsea last night. Bordeaux beat ten-man Bayern Munich 2-1 but missed two penalties. Marouane Chamakh, the striker linked 700 times with Wenger, is not good enough to play for Arsenal. He’s not good enough for the EPL. Yoann Gourcuff, the best player in the French league last season, isn’t good enough either. On last night’s performance those two are...
As we've been reporting recently on Jeu Du Jour , each of the main contenders for the Ligue 1 title this season have been losing their unbeaten records one by one. Going into last weekend's games, only two were left and one of those, unsurprisingly, was the seemingly unbeatable Bordeaux . Unbeatable, that is, until Saturday when Saint Etienne , of all teams, handed out a 3-1 beating at the Stade Geoffrey-Guichard...

AC Milan left it late to pick up a narrow 1-0 victory over a defensive Bologna at the San Siro.

Juventus were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Bordeaux in their opening Group A match in the Champions League. Vincenzo Iaquinta broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute when he linked up with captain Fabio Cannavaro. But Jaroslav Plašil equalised for Bordeaux 15 minutes from time, tapping home at the far post after Fernando had flicked on Yoann Gourcuff 's free kick. Please subscribe...
