*you have to blog in English, I mean. There are no restrictions on comments, though comments in foreign langues means most readers won’t be able to understand.

One of the conditions for writing on the offside (and world cup blog) is that you have to use English.

This is an English language blog, with a predominately American audience. So writing in French is discourgaed, its nice that you can, but stick to English.

Rob I appreciate your comments because they are meant with good intentions. I am not writing in French and while some readers might prefer that and I have considered it, the majority of readers would find it quite impossible to understand and thus lose the chance to become a fan of the club and all of French Football. As you think through this and the balance of my comments, respectfully please let me know your opinion on this matter. As far as my writing style, I think that is more of a reflection of my horribly advanced age, geographic location, my career experiences and even that I prefer writing in a type of blog style format allowing for easier reading on PDA’s or the like.

I have also never considered that I was writing for an American audience and simply presumed it was for those who appreciated Ligue 1. However if it is for an American audience, just as my Aussie friends or anywhere else in the world I am hopeful that they not only become enamored with French Football but the greater story of the game and how the simple round ball has an ability to bring people together in a positive framework. I suppose I have given away one of my secrets now but as I enjoy working under the anonymity of “j” it is not a co-incidence that I have asked to write of PSG and promote the message of harmony.

Vraiment – c’est un site bizarre. Personne parle en francais, persone parle de la France – vraiment qui as un vrai connexion avec Paris ou le Paris Saint-Germain? – Si il etait un site experimentale en mauvaise Angalis par les fans parisiennes – je le peux comprendre – mais “taken a perfunctory turn for the worse” et “resolve to facilitate that deal” – c’est pas des mots des francais.

Donc – c’est quoi le raison pour cet site? Je le pense que c’est simplement ‘cool’ d’etre supporter parisienne dan les etats-unis – au moins pour quelques personnes…

Actually I’m not French either – which is probably why i can understand your poncy writing style.

But I have to say – discoursing in academic english about the ‘family homecoming’ structure eminating from ‘the upper eschelons’ of the club – and how good all of this is – in english, with a bunch of Americans – is highly ironic.

Dans l’intermediare – je peux dire simplement ALLEZ PARIS.

Now. PROVE ME WRONG
