Le terme «match» est reconnu dans la langue française pour rendre «game». On peut également utiliser «partie» ou «rencontre», bien que «partie» se dise davantage pour les jeux ou les sports dans leur version récréative; cependant, il faut laisser à «joute» son sens de combat médiéval où deux combattants s'affrontent, habituellement à cheval, avec lance ou arme au point. [Selon la chronique «Capsule linguistique» de Guy Bertrand, sur les ondes de la radio de Radio-Canada, le 4 mai 2004.] Quant aux termes «affrontement» et «confrontation», ils portent plus de velléité et d'arrogance et ne conviennent pas toujours pour parler d'une rencontre qui se déroule dans le respect de l'esprit sportif. 7, record 4, French, - match%20nul

Surely a government such as that of General Franco which considers itself to be the legal government of Spain cannot, as it seems to me, sit passively by while the proceedings are in process and would have the duty towards itself to contest the legitimation of its rival as party to the proceedings or, rather, on grounds of deeper principle, to attack the validity of the special agreement itself as having been concluded by an "illegal government". 1, record 14, English, - legal%20government

It is sometimes asserted that a state may exist even though it has no territory, and in this connection instances of the governments in exile during the World War II are cited. This, however, is not a true illustration because the cases of the governments in exile are merely examples of lawful governments functioning from another country during continuance of military operations. The dispossession of the lawful government by the invader pendente bello is no more than an incident of military operations. 2, record 14, English, - legal%20government
