    Ce qui est amusant c'est que la pétanque est le seul sport de boules à être un peu connu... mais c'est loin d'être le seul à exister, et encore moins celui avec les règles les plus bizarres ! Sur la Loire par exemple, il y avait un sport de boules qui se jouait sur les bateaux, avec des boules en bois, au gré des mouvement du bateau, qui étaient intégrés au jeu.

He said "grand-mère" which means "grand-mother", and right after he said "mamie" which is a pet name we use to call our grandmother, but the way he pronounced it sounded closer to the english pet name "mummy" for "mom" rather than "mamie". So that's most likely where the confusion came from.

Tu fais certes références à la triple couronne, Le Mans / Monaco / Indy500. Mais les 24H du mans ont une plus grande notoriété que les deux autres courses. Surtout que Monaco ces 10 dernières années a largement perdu de sa splendeur au point même que la FOM a réfléchis à plusieurs reprise à retirer le GP ou d'y forcer une modification car il n'attire plus autant de monde malgré son aura. L'Indy 500 rayonne elle très très majoritairement aux USA. Et très peu ailleurs. Et même aux US, Daytona n'est pas très loin en terme d'audience derrière l'Indy 500.

Alors pourquoi on voit les pilotes délaissés en F1 aller faire du WEC et tout gagner sans forcer ? Sans parler du fait que le tracé est loin d'être le plus exigeant ( l'enfer vert du Nürburgring l'est bien plus) Certes Monaco est sous pression de la part de la FOM et de Liberty Media mais ce n'est pas parce que l'évènement n'est pas suivi ou pas rentable, c'est à cause de l'absence de spectacle une fois la qualif' terminée. L'Indy 500 ne rayonne qu'aux USA, peut-être mais en attendant, le marché américain est tellement gigantesque qu'il arrive à se suffire à lui-même. Quand bien même il n'y aurait que les américains qui regardaient l'Indy 500, il aurait toujours plus d'audience que les 24h. Donc non, les 24h ne sont pas LA course la plus connue du monde. Elle est extrêmement prestigieuse, elle a une importance historique fantastique etc. Mais elle partage le trône, point final.

    Actually, I just checked the 5-0 PSG game (against Steaua Bucuresti on Aug 27, 1997) and the goal was in fact scored on the 41st minute, even though the records show it at 40. The discrepancy is because in football, 1st minute is when the clock shows 00:XX, and 41st minute would be when the clock shows 40:XX, but sometimes they just drop the seconds and write what the minute shows (hence off by one) there is a full match video on KZread, which unfortunately doesn't show the clock all the time, but if you keep your own clock from the kick off, the clock would have shown 40:54 when the goal was scored, hence on the 41st minute! 😊 Much respect to the marabout!!

    Not sure about France, but coming from someone who played football in Texas and Rugby in New Zealand, football is definitely more violent. Blocking definitely has a lot to do with this. Also, with pads, you just hit harder.

    2:00 If 5 goals was expected to be possible, and number 18 plays a goal scoring role, the odds are not too crazy. He was off by one minute, so that's 90/3 = 30 possible guesses (about 3,4% chance to guess correct minute). And there's 5 goals so you get 5 guesses. Imagine rolling a die with 3,4% probability 5 times. Not too crazy. Then you'd need a prior probability guess for the 5-0 result in the first place, and lastly the probability that the scorer was no. 18 (which you could take estimate from season statistics, how many of the teams goals were scored by no. 18?). These are not "out of this world" odds. Now imagine that there could have been dozens of different future tellers with different predictions, and as you increase the number of predictions, it becomes almost a guarantee that you will find one that is specific enough to satisfy the odds of this prediction. And also, if no prediction came true, then there's no story and we wouldn't hear about it, so we are already biased: Winning the lottery is very unlikely, but people win the lottery all the time, we just don't think about the millions times people *didn't* win. And, *voilà* (see what I did there), this is how fortune telling works: Generic predictions, that make you think the odds are far worse than they truly are, come true, or even close enough, and the people marvel. *Oh là là* And that is, if nobody simply *lied* to make this story up. Regardless, it's still not as crazy as one might think.

    "The jousters wear protective equipment, it's the PG version of actual jousting" Actual jousting was done with full armours, how can you make more protective than that?

    To add up on the female side, the women's football team is doing good right now, recently getting to the Nations Cup final against Spain. They lost but hey, The women's spanish team is incredible. There's a reason they're world champion despite being in an open conflict with their coach during the World Cup. The women's rugby team is pretty good as well, beating the Black Ferns of New Zealand in the opening game of the Women XV. They're ranked third best team in the world, right behind New Zealand (and England is first). And for the cycling part, how not to mention the Tour de France Femme! It was (re)launched just two-three years ago and it was a resounding success! The most famous french female cyclist is Jeannie Longo (who is retired), and the current best french female cyclist (for the races like the Tour de France) is Juliette Labous. The most famous current french female cyclist is probably Audrey Cordon-Ragot (she's more of a classics cyclist). To add more sports, how not to talk about Handball? Both men and women competitions are dominated by France right now. I remember loving watching Jackson Richardson play as a kid. Same goes for biathlon by the way but I don't know much about this sport. Also, basketball I guess? I don't know much about the sport but I know at least the names of Tony Parker, Rudy Gobert, Nicolas Batum and... Wemby. yeah, the last one I only know his shortened name. X) And finale, how not to mention the FFL? La Fédération Française de la Lose! Look it up. Allez Alain Philippe!

    N'oublie surtout pas le tennis de table. C'est peut-être pas français, mais il y a les deux frères Lebrun qui ont réussi à se placer dans le top 20 mondial (Alexis 20ème et Félix 6ème), et l'un des deux, je sais plus lequel, a battu le 1er du classement. Et puisque chaque pays ne peut envoyer que 2 joueurs aux JO, il y a d'assez fortes chances qu'ils gagnent la médaille.
