Saliba and Camavinga came out from the Portugal game with high marks but the midfield is still not working

By Luke Entwistle for Get French Football News

Once again Didier Deschamps made changes, once again they had a negligible effect, once again France advanced – rinse and repeat. That is the story of Les Bleus’ Euros so far as they played to type in their latest victory, over Portugal, on penalties.

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 6 July, 2024

Many say they feel stuck in middle between far-right National Rally and hard-left France Unbowed

As France faces a high-stakes second round of elections on Sunday , French Jewish people say they are grappling with tough choices and feel caught between extremes amid concerns about rising antisemitism.

As part of her longstanding efforts to detoxify the image of the far-right National Rally (RN) – currently leading in opinion polls – Marine Le Pen, to the incredulity of many, has sought to present herself as a friend of Jewish people and Israel.

‘We want our peace’: why is France’s far-right support such a rural affair?

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 6 July, 2024

Media rhetoric about migrants and crime is rallying support for the National Rally in the countryside but, say city folk, the reality is different

Flanked by fields of corn and tree-lined ponds, the regular rumbling of planes in the distance is the only hint of Colombier-Saugnieu’s proximity to the bustling metropolis of Lyon.

But in recent days journalists from the city have begun traipsing out to the tiny commune, population 2,500, in hopes of better understanding a dynamic seemingly at play in the country’s snap parliamentary elections: the sharp divide when it comes to voters in rural and urban areas.

Élections : comment sont calculés les résultats de 20 heures ?

news.movim.eu / Numerama • 6 July, 2024

Jusqu'à 20 heures le dimanche d'un scrutin, les médias français n'ont pas le droit de communiquer les dernières tendances sur les élections législatives. Ils peuvent ensuite donner de premiers pré-résultats, censés indiquer la direction choisie. Comment les calcule-t-on ? S'agit-il de vrais résultats ou de sondages ?

The French republic is under threat. We are 1,000 historians and we cannot remain silent | Patrick Boucheron, Antoine Lilti and others

We implore voters not to turn their backs on our nation’s history. Go out and defeat the far right in Sunday’s vote

For the first time since the second world war, the far right is at the gates of power in France. As historians from differing political backgrounds who share an attachment to democratic values and the rule of law, we cannot remain silent in the face of an alarming prospect that we still have the capacity to resist.

Portugal v France: a galactic battle lost in the black hole of one man’s ego

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 5 July, 2024

This Euro 2024 clash could have been an all-time great quarter-final, and instead a part of it was stolen

Even his absence feels like a kind of presence. The cameras continue to seek him out. The fans in the stands in their replica Manchester United tops screech a little louder, scowl a little harder. The less he does, the important he becomes. The more he disappears into this game, the heavier it feels, like a black hole sucking everything into its vortex.

And ultimately Portugal too. The sabotage is complete. One of the most talented squads ever assembled at this level of football disappears into that self same black hole, a Vegas-era Elvis act ultimately notable only for its ability to make us gawp and keep gawping. It’s too awful to watch. It’s too awful not to watch. The clock ticks into its third hour, the second quarter-final suspended like a sentence that can never end, and yet with the knowledge of exactly how it ends. Meanwhile, Gonçalo Ramos and Diogo Jota sit on the bench.
