i'm sorry if this does not belong here, but i new i couldnt put it on the main sports hub which is dominated by american sports
I'm doing school project on french football (Ligue 1 in particular)
i'm wondering if anyone here has any knowledge about it, and who could help me with this
i need to comment about :
1.effect of money in teams (investors, buyers, revenew, income, wages, transfers...)
2. the inclusion of immigrants in teams (eg there are lots of african players)
3.effect of french players leaving to foreign teams (eg Nasri, Cissé...)
4. Popularity - up or down
if you could help me this would be great
i've tried to do research, but didnt find much
+1 karma to everyone who helps

Well, the french ligue 1 isnt as popular here as other foreign european leagues for example Spain.
The african players playign in france seems to have a positiv effect for them as several French players were bporn in Africa and have gone on to represent the french national team including Zidedine Zidane etc.
Not alot more I can say sorry

1) Did you know that Alcohol, is banned from French Football? That's why, when you see Liverpool in the CL playing Marseille, they don't have a sponsor. I'd imagine, that effects, the money in French Footy, as Beer/Lager is so popular. I'll try and answer, a bit more later  |

Last time, I knew, Liverpool, Glasgow Rangers & Celtic were in Europe. |

And generally, African's move to France (I'm guess because most African countries speak French)...and take up footbal, and if they live in the country and have the talent, of couase they are going to get picked up by a French team. |

4. Lyon have dominated for years and are having a lot of their players cheery picked by bigger sides eg Essien, Diarra, Abidal, Malouda and probably Benzema soon. I am sure this contributes if as I presume that the league is not that popular.
