Your Coupe de France Update: With Boobs!

I'm sure you were all waiting for your Ligue 1 Weekend Review, but instead of the result of the week you get the boobs of the week, courtesy of Salma Hayek. Why? Well, I don't really need a reason, but it turns out that there is a legitimate connection to this post. Salma Hayek recently married her beau François-Henri Pinault, whose daddy owns Stade Rennais Football Club and the latter were playing in the final of the Coupe de France against Ligue 2 side En Avant de Guingamp.


In an all-Brittany final, it was Rennes who struck first when Carlos Bocanegra headed home a cross from Bruno Cheyrou in the 69th minute. Guingamp equalized just 2 minutes later when Eduardo dos Santos slipped a low shot past Nicolas Douchez, marking the first goal allowed by Rennes in the competition. Eduardo finished his brace in the 82nd minute to give the match to Guingamp, who are still threatened with relegation to the 3rd tier of French football.

This is only the 2nd time in history that a non-Ligue 1 club has won the Coupe de France, with the first being Le Havre in 1959. Their victory gives them entry into next season's Europa Cup.

Sadly for Pinault and Hayek, Rennes looks to be out of European competition completely, although they don't look too broken up about it.



Note: Francois Pinault the elder owns Converse, Samsonite, Château Latour, Vail Ski Resort, Christie's Auction House, Gucci, and Pinault-Printemps-Redoute (which is run by François-Henri Pinault). Thus, little Valentina Paloma Pinault will be filthy rich some day. For now she will simply be well-fed.
