Past or present tense is not the point.
It's an active verb, not a passive one.
so --> comprises, or comprised, not comprised of.

a common mistake actually

Didn't know that either.

Still, certain dictionaries provide examples of both usages.:

yea they're wrong though.

There's a crazy guy who made this his life work and edited tens of thousands of the improper usage on wikipedia

Just as I thought, looks like the opposing defence was comprised of a bunch of 12 year olds.

I'll keep that in mind for the next time Barca struggles against the vaunted sides of Celta Viago or Eibar. In any case, scroll down to the club ranked 9th under defensive team statistics:

Good news for O.M.:

Recently surveyed by several European clubs, French-Malian playmaking midfielder N'Golo Kanté (24), according to Le 10 Sport, has agreed on joining Olympique Marseille for next season. Former Boulogne player is currently on a deal with Caen until June 2018.

Bad news for O.M.:

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, AS Roma management have just met the agents of Ghanaian international winger and forward André Ayew (25), who's set to leave Olympique Marseille as a free agent after 5 seasons. The player is also tracked by several Italian (Napoli and Inter), German (Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Monchengladbach, Hamburg and Wolfsburg) and English (West Bromwich Albion, Everton, Liverpool, Tottenham, Hull City and Newcastle) clubs.

I'll be very sad if/when Ayew leaves Marseille. Truly is a shame.

Marseille drops a game to Bordeaux, allowing Monaco to leap them for the final CL's spot in Ligue 1.

Monaco drops points to keep Marseille's CL hopes alive. It'd help if Lyon take care of Saint Etienne tomorrow.

Why would you want Lyon to win?

I worded that poorly. I was speaking in regard to Marseille's chances to qualify for one of the tournament spots.

Because they have a better chance of having success in continental play than does Saint Etienne, and France needs as many points they can get to boost their coefficient.

In any case, great match between Lyon and Saint Etienne. Lyon had a man sent off early for a hand ball but still managed to dominate possession while creating a number of chances around goal. Were able to earn a draw despite being handicapped, but failing to earn a victory puts PSG in place to bring home the title should they finish the season strongly. As for SE, they drew even with Marseille in the league but the latter owns the tiebreaker due to differential. All in all, another excellent week in what has been one hell of a season in Ligue 1.

Lyon was amazing tonight, that kid Fekhir is not bad at all

Also, how many games are left in the Ligue 1 ? And how does this setup PSG for the title ? They're tied in points with Lyon having a better GD.. agreed PSG have a game more to play, but we can't assume they'll win all remaining games, Ligue1 is certainly very unstable at the top this year..

Fekir is impressive. Lyon is filled with talents, hopefully some of them will blossom with the NT.
Rooting for PSG, Lyon and Monaco to get the CL spots.
