You know how sometimes there's a team you just can't help but feel sorry for, because their results are so much worse than their efforts deserve? (...Like the total opposite of Man. U....)
Well, this year, out of all the leagues, it's gotta be Lille, from France.
They should have finished second in their Champions League group, if the logical results would have happened. Instead, they could not beat Trabzonspor, at home (0-0), and inter Milan sucked at home, against CSKA (1-2), leaving the French outfit lament their shortcomings: not even a Europa League spot, and just two points away from going through in the CL.
In the French league, they have a team good enough to win the title, which they achieved last season, as a matter of fact. But they keep dropping points at random moments, or in the last minutes of the game, or just simply due to lack of concentration, in many, many games, now.
Today, for example, they lost against Lyon, 1-2, away.
Lyon needed that win to keep alive their hopes of reaching a Champions League spot.
Funnily enough, that spot is currently held by Lille.
I'm willing to bet, however, that they won't still have it for long. It's not lonely in those parts of the French standings: Saint-Etienne, Toulouse, Lyon and Rennes are all now just within 4 points of Lille.
Only a short while ago, Lille was quite comfortable in third, with a game or two (sometimes) in hand.
