[Chroniques Bleues] Le 7 octobre 2024, il y a un an, nous quittait Johan Neeskens, formidable lieutenant de Johan Cruyff dans la Hollande des années soixante-dix. Le joueur avait connu sa toute dernière sélection au Parc des Princes contre l’équipe de France.

Grâce à la thèse d'histoire de Jean-Christophe Meyer sur les débuts du football à la télévision, @ma2thieu.bsky.social a pu trouver la trace du premier match de l'équipe de France retransmis en direct. C'était il y à 73 ans, le 5 octobre 1952.

C'est une date historique : d'abord parce que c'est le premier match France-Allemagne de l'après-guerre, ensuite parce qu'il est retransmis en direct à la Radio-Télévision française (RTF).

Mr @sp1873.bsky.social erstellt eine Enzyklopädie des Weltfußballs, und ich war eingeladen, das Kapitel "VfB Stuttgart in den 1980er Jahren" zu besprechen. Ein geradezu grotesk nerdiges Projekt, das es zwingend zu unterstützen galt. Und gilt. In englisch. Erkältet. Verkatert.

Safe journey to all those Spurs fans travelling to Leeds this morning.
We had mixed fortunes there in the 90s but the nadir was the 95 FA Cup SF when we were only allocated one side of the ground!
What are your memories of Elland Road in the 90s? Here's our 2-0 win in 1990

Ce matin, on a mis à jour plusieurs dataviz permettant de mesurer l'évolution de l'âge moyen des titulaires de l'équipe de France, et de l'expérience des titulaires, avec le cumul de sélections avant le coup d'envoi.

La notion d'équipe jeune est relative, et n'a pas de rapport avec le nombre de sélections : les trentenaires ne sont pas toujours les plus capés. Voici un tableau qui donne la moyenne d'âge par…
