Runje, the keeper for Lens, ran up to take a freekick just outside of the box at the end of the match. Score was tied 0-0. The result? He blasted it 20 meters over the bar and his teammates were pissed.

It was weird because the camera looked back towards the center of the pitch and all of a sudden the guy came running forward. Then they zoomed into him and a couple other guys conversing, almost as if they were saying WTF are you doing. Then he blasted it towards Jupiter.
I didn't know Runje took freekicks.

Watching Bordeaux - Lille and then L'OM - Lyon yesterday convinced me that Bordeaux is going to win the Ligue yet again.
Both Lyon and L'OM have their obvious deficiencies, L'OM just cannot hold onto leads even if their life depended on it, while Lyon just do not have a good enough defense. Bordeaux on the other hand are just a result machine. They went down 1-0 to a Hazard goal early on in the game, but they didn't panic, they controlled the tempo, they were dangerous throughout the game without ever committing too many players in attack and they had the tactical flexibility(as always) to change from a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-3-1-2 throughout the game. They played like real champions and eventually won the game.
the way Blanc has got them playing, they play like real champions. What a coach and what a team.

So, two teams in the quarterfinals and at least one team in the semifinals for the French league. Do you guys have any theories to how this happened? Could it be the fact that the economic crisis is so big that teams like Bordeaux and Lyon got to keep their players? I mean, 2-3 years ago players like Chamakh, Tremoulinas and Gourcuff would surely be in Premier League by now.
So true, i didn't expect them to keep it up, but they have surprised me to be honest. Hard working team that is very well organized 
I think the economic crisis could have had its effect yes. But also, French teams are richer than before, look at the signings Marseille and Lyon made this summer. Lucho, Lisandro and Aly Cissokho were all 15M+ signings.
Lyons success in the CL in the past 4-5 seasons has encouraged other teams to stop the "Ajax" policy and try to keep their players and compete with Europes big guns.
I expect Bordeaux to keep their current team, only Chamakh is going to go most probably.
