Hmm, I don't really find them small: Stade de France (80,000), Stade Vélodrome (60,013), Parc Des Princes (48,712), Stade Félix Bollaet (41,223), Stade Gerland (41,044) are the top 5 stadiums. And then you have 6 stadiums with a 30,000+ capacity and 12 stadiums with a 20,000+ capacity.

Since Euro 2016 will be played in France, they will probably build some new stadiums as well. I know current champions RSC Lille are building a 50,000+ stadium. Bordeaux will also buy a new one.

Folan's red card was a joke too dude. The standard of Ref's here is extremely bad. I thought we had it bad in the League of Ireland till I saw them here ....

I guess it also depends on how the referee is positioned when the contact occurs. I mean, from a certain angle, it can look like a fault. Although the assistant referee should have seen it wasn't a fault then.

SKC is riding an 11 game unbeaten streak with a beatable Chivas team coming into town Saturday and we now have 11 of the next 12 games at home. On top of that, we host a lower division squad, Richmond Kickers, in the USOC quarters next Tuesday and it was announced today that we would host the winner of the NY/Chicago game on August 30th in the semis if we win.

Things are looking up in the land of Sporting.

Finally won a home game last night! Wasnt pretty but better than our previous performances. If we can get Folan to play off of Casey and not have them chasing the same balls they will be great together.
