Reading more about this France thing, though the original source of this is The Mirror, so take it with a grain of salt.

It seems Ribery had set up a night out for the French team, at a venue of Ribery's choice, which unsurprisingly turned out to be a Gentlemen's Club.

Yoann Gourcuff said he just wanted to chill out and watch TV that night but he was fine with everyone going without him. This pissed Ribery off, inspiring him to ask "Will your mother not all you to go you homosexual slut?"

These two don't get along to begin with, Ribery doesn't like Gourcuff because he's quiet and thoughtful -- that'd be funny if it wasn't true, Ribery thinks Gourcuff is snotty because of this, but by most accounts he's just introverted.

Anyway, that was apparently one of the flashpoints.

The "homosexual" mark is totally unconfirmed but it has come from several sources.

mr beauxjangles was the only one who had Mexico and Uruguay advancing.

oh yeah :D

france just looked pathetic leading up to the cup. lost to china, tied tunisia, got spanked by spain. the last decent victory they had was a 3-2 victory over sweden in august 2008. i've got mexico going a long way, although i picked them to win the group, therefore not playing argentina in the round of 16. we'll see.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
