1. Faux pas (false step)
2. Quelle surprise (what a surprise)
3. À la carte (by the menu card)
4. Bon appétit (good appetite)
5. Résumé (summary)
6. Fait accompli (thing done / done deal)

@JEckert925 @iMiaSanMia @MicahRichards On the contrary, the side angle clearly shows he guided the ball with his right arm
English
@iMiaSanMia What is @MicahRichards talking about “Laimer handball”
The front angle clearly shows it never came near his arm!
English
Kompany: "Why is it not a red card? I don't understand. Why we concede a penalty in Paris and we don't receive one here? I understand the rules, but the hand was above his head"
"It felt like there was a hand that tilted it to the wrong side for us."

@laje0101 @FlyByKnite So predictable there would a prick to make that bad joke once more
English
@FlyByKnite Trying to make up for their national defense failures in WWII. If Rudy brings us to the Finals, all will be forgiven.
English
It’s kinda wild that France produced the two best defensive centers we’ve seen in this era.

Rudy Gobert on guarding Nikola Jokic:
"He's the greatest offensive player I've guarded my whole career. Just tryimg to enjoy the challenge and make him work as much as I can...keep trying to make him earn everything he gets"

@LePoint @NicolasBaverez Baverez a toujours été un pessimiste aigri et de mauvaise foi. Il se surpasse.

@AlexTaylorNews @WeillClaude Nicolas Baverez est un pessimiste aigri. Rien de nouveau sous le soleil.
Français
Je regarde beaucoup les médias internationaux. Dans un monde peuplé par des Trump, Putin, Xi Jinping, Netanyahu et autres Supreme Leaders, et même chez nous en Europe avec nos Johnson, Orbán, PiS et autres populistes maison, la France de Macron est tout sauf "sortie de l'Histoire" et "marginalisée"
On peut critiquer Macron pour sa politique nationale. Sur la scène internationale la France s'en sort plutôt très bien par les temps qui courent, du moins dans tout ce que je lis et vois ailleurs @NicolasBaverez

This should be making international headlines. Every alarm bell known to mankind should be ringing. This is dangerous and genuinely catastrophic

Over 125,000 animal parts are imported into the US every year to adorn the ‘death rooms’ of trophy hunters.
Thousands of these trophies come from species listed as protected (Endangered or Threatened) under the ESA.

Exhibit F: "Why don't [Wemby, Shai, Jokic] go ahead and share [MVP]? Let 5 motherf*cking Europeans share it while they're up there smelling like some doo-doo."
(On that note, I'm retiring from sharing Jason Williams clips after this. We all understand who he truly is by now.)
Josh Paredes@Josh810
Bookmark this in case you ever find yourself almost taking Jason Williams seriously: Jan 13 - "Neither one (Wemby/Chet) are real shot-blockers. If they weren't 7 fucking feet, they're not blocking shots. They'll block from the elbow and get to shots you wouldn't think they could. They're blocking that shit. Real shot-blockers are standing waiting." Feb 4 - "I'd take Chet over Wemby. If I yelled at Chet, he'd be cool. Wemby would pout. No offense against French people, but it seems like they think their shit don't stink." Mar 11 - "Wemby was crying again. I won the World Championship in '06, and the last thing I was thinking about was motherfuckin' crying. He cried cause he won? I've never shed a tear over an athletic event. I'm not an emotional guy, and I don't look at you different if you are emotional."
English
@KevinOConnor Gobert should have finished 2nd - possibly 3rd but not sure Chet’s stats fare better
English
I'm excited to find out if Wemby is consensus DPOY or not. Also - I'm shocked Rudy Gobert didn't finish in the top 3. Gobert was incredible this year. 109.8 DRTG with Gobert. 119 without him. Wolves would be in the lottery if not for Rudy. I like Ausar but not the same impact.

The NBA announces it will have its least suspenseful moment ever at 6p ET tonight when the winner of the Defensive Player of the Year award is revealed.
English
Rudy Gobert has to be one of the most overrated players in the league. He’s barely better than my grandmother on the offensive end, which is why he wasn’t even playable in the Olympics with Wemby. He missed a wide open dunk a foot away from the basket.
English
@Gro2811 @GJustjuve Kyle you must be mixing football and soccer (aka real football, because you ply with your feet). There is no 30’ break in real football games.
English
@GJustjuve So when Qatar, South Africa, Brazil and Russia all did shit to show their culture it wasn’t a problem but now it is bc it’s in America. You retards are so fucking stupid, very obvious you are a liberal pussy

@Ostrov_A @yechielleiter @Mike_Wagenheim What an arrogant comment Mr Leiter. Israel’s diplomacy is non existent and with such stupid speeches you will lose the support Israel has even from the French Jewish community.

@Sheriff87925043 @Osinttechnical @SchmukQatarlson Wrong on all counts. And US planes were allowed to refuel at the Istres airbase
English
@Osinttechnical @SchmukQatarlson France did not participate in the war. In fact, it worked to support Iran, so not sure what this is? It did not allow US planes even overflight rights. The Iranians drones are made with European components. That’s France’s contribution.
English
France has released footage of its Eurocopter Tiger attack helicopters and Rafale fighters hunting down and destroying Iranian drones over the Middle East during the Iran war.
