mattant250 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I've just realised that one of my feeder clubs is from a club called Reunion, but it's nation's flag is the same as France's. What does this mean? Is it a French province or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Reunion is an island in the Indian Ocean that is an overseas territory of France. It carries the same flag as France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

isuckatfm Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Just a quick tip mattant250. Don't send players on loan there as it will probably mess up their development. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frame Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Just a quick tip mattant250. Don't send players on loan there as it will probably mess up their development. I'd guess that it would be impossible to send players on loan there if he's not an South African club as in game the only feeder clubs you can send players on loan to are clubs from the same continent.

Scott1990 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Florent Sinama-Pongolle is from Reunion! IIRC, there was a major volcano disaster there althrough that may have been Mauritius, which is a country northeast of Reunion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
canvey!! Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Most likely you're thinking of Montserrat- the de jure capital Plymouth was destroyed by it. Brades is now the de facto capital. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I'm a big idiot for other reasons and confused Mauritius with Martinique. I was thinking of the Mt. Pelee eruption. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermybhoy Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The once fantastic Didier Agathe is also from Reunion. I'm sure there are also a number of French internationals from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Vikash Dhorasoo, a pretty crap former France international who made a video bleating about not getting to play at the 2006 World Cup even though he was rubbish, was originally from Mauritius, I think. Mauritius, unlike Reunion, is actually an independent country now. I assume Dhorasoo must've had the choice of playing for France or Mauritius. I'm not convinced he was good enough for either.

Mauritius is independent, yes. IIRC Dhorasoo was born in France, but is an ethnic Indian originally from Mauritius as most of the population of Mauritius are ethnic Indians. I'm still wondering how the hell he was selected for that 2006 squad though... poor Giuly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
