Worse

People names often put computer-assisted translation systems into trouble. Several examples are presented among the french bloopers, and in this english section, we already met twice the case of Reinhardt becoming Pure Hard!

The following french soccer reports illustrate this problem, as in this first example:

Metz - Marseilles 0 - 1 (0-1) St Symphorien - 15/08/98
2nd day
Witnesses : 23.000
TEAMS: Marseille: (...) Luccin (Brando, 26e then Worse, 46e)
(...) Metz: (...) Governed

The poor Pires, who plays for the French national team, has been renamed Worse, and will be re-renamed Worst in a subsequent page. And I am sure there is no player Governed in the Metz team, even though I cannot figure out what is his real name.

Without carrying out a fully convincing service in Metz, the Olympian ones knew nevertheless to remove the piece, thanks to a goal of Gourvennec, on one of their very rare occasions. That is called realism and forges the moral one. Thus know to what can sometimes hold a match? To a breath of the pause, the Olympian ones come to pass very close to the worst following an opening of Lukic towards Régis whose center was taken again head by Boffin. A stop more or less happy reflex of Porato, will make it possible to avoid the slap. Messins will be then the wrong to be too much lost in regrets, to call upon a contrary fate too much. A short period of devolution which will cost them a maximum since on against intelligently led by Dugarry, relayed by Roy before leading on Gourvennec for the completion, the OM will insure encolure in advance that nobody will be able to begin again to him.

At this moment of the meeting, not of what to surely complain for the Marseillais who, without never yielding to the thrashing, however had known a few periods in extreme cases vis-a-vis with Lorraine the so eager ones to reverse the negative tendency settling in their group. For proof, a report of occasions clearly in favour of the buildings which had, in particular on a striking of Lukic returned by Porato in the legs of Strasser (unhappy with possible by losing balance at the time of the shooting in a cage empties), already have several times the possibility of breaking their wire maudit.

Serenity
Conversely, the OM had had to be satisfied, to worry Letizi, of a superb honest blow of White which the guard messin had gone to seek in the attic window.

This was inevitable! Laurent Blanc escaped being translated one time, in the team list, but he did not escaped it this time and becomes Laurent White!
And what about the cute expression attic window for the upper left and right corners of the goal!

For as much, by no means question of speaking about completely unjustified raid for the Marseillais. Initially because that was called realism. A realism on the subject of which it will be always possible of ergoter but of which Marseilles formation, at the end of the past season had missed enough so that one does not make the fine mouth in the circumstance.

No, I assure we will not ergoter about Marseille's realism, not at all :-) And we will not make the fine mouth either!

Then because the team of Rolland Courbis, failing to start a franc fills with enthusiasm with very solid bases and an entrepreneurship relatively limited, had had the immense merit never not to lose the control of her nerves, to constantly seek to apply in the revival as in anticipation in front of the messines waves generally led by Meyrieu and Boffin. It entered of needy this OM there, it entered there also considerable promises to considering, in particular of certain collective actions carried out with smoothness and elegance. Too much rare in first half, more obvious in second in a formation where the re-entry the Worst (then that of Maurice) brought more volume and of variety.

I wonder why the trainer substituted Maurice with Worst if he is the worst!

Because all was finally improving. More fluidity, more variations on the topic of the offensive, more means which in the next weeks should open out.
The OM of Metz did not pack but it knew to avoid the trap of an appointment which was not obvious to negotiate in front of a whole in search of repurchase. It knew to remain unceasingly lucid whereas opposition, on the contrary, mislaid part of its forces in completely useless gestures of irritation and thus penalizing. It knew to calm the play at the good time and to show that from now on it had the elements able to make turn the balloon in the delicate moments, to preserve the contôle of it nothing to sufficiently a long time let lose. One liked besides in this sometimes disturbed water, the way in which boys like Issa or Porato could hold the distance.

Well considering
In fact, one liked many things in this team whose potential, obviously, remains enormous. Who, today, without to have expressed all that it contained, finds himself affluent of two victories whose points are worth by oneself weighing pleasure to them. This OM is still only in becoming, which implies famous following days. Because, one should not be mistaken, gain there this kind of meeting without showing itself very, very good, makes it possible to believe that one can then go very, very far. Rolland Courbis had chosen to carry out several changes compared to the input in string against Nantes. Much had been surprised and, some share, the Olympian trainer was awaited the corner of wood. Should be paid to him homage: it had sacrément seen just.

The match of Dugarry
A courageous match, under the odious and systematic whistles. Often victim of blows by behind, it worked especially in handing-over and makes a success of two overflows in first half.

It would be too long to point out the bloopers in the other pages, I will let you visit Marseille-Montpellier, where we can read that Marseille, being led 4 goals to 0 by Montpellier, succeeded in refiler mistigri in Martini (whatever it means):

It was believed that a team led 4 to 0 on his ground, could, as well as possible, save the face, reduce the variation. But when Porato touched its first balloon, with the 47e minute, by gaining a duel with Fugier, one was far from suspecting that it was the last and that it came, symbolically, of refiler mistigri in Martini.
