Allez les Bleus! Le sport est universel

J'ai vraiment apprécié cette dictée. J'ai adoré leur enthousiasme pour les Bleus. Je regarde la Coupe du Monde tous les 4 ans bien que je ne connaisse pas grand chose au foot!

I found this sentence on wordreference when I checked the word profondeur:

Il adorait ces réunions. Je pense que tu devrais commencer avec "eux"? Question on pronoun used after avec

Does "avec eux" refer back to "réunions"? If so, shouldn't you use avec "elles"? Also, Je suis sûre qu'"elles" (meetups) pourront t'aider...

"Comment il se fait que..." simply not idiomatic?

Is it simply the case that "Comment il se fait que..." is not idiomatic? Or do French people sometimes say it (rightly or wrongly)?

The last hint

In the last sentence, you give the hint, match. I interpreted this hint as suggesting the use of the French word, match, for the English word, game, in the English version of the sentence. Obviously, I was wrong. Perhaps there is another suggestion that would be less ambiguous?

Dernière

The translation for "the latest season" is given as "la dernière saison." When reading the grammar lesson for dernier, I thought this would mean the final season of the show (i.e. the show has concluded and they are not planning to produce anymore seasons).

I had interpreted "the latest season" to mean the most recent (i.e. previous) season, so I used "la saison dernière" but this was marked incorrect.

Can someone explain further? Thanks!
