ALLEZ LES BLEUS!

équipe de france =

at least I have all the space i want in the métro when they are playing...

yesterday's match was terrible!!!!

Viva Olanda!

sorry guys, i did not reply earlier cause i was enjoying a week of vacation (again) in croatia... but, no, i didn't get to miss Holland-Argentina, or Australia-Croatia, France-Togo... unfortunately...
but, yes, we did make it to the next round (which i'm not particularly proud of)

We didn't made it to the next round
And I am also not particularly proud of that...

fra-spa 3-1: incroyable!!!

what do you want me to say.....
it's NOT incroyable : "les bleus ont retrouvé le plaisir de jouer au football et ont retrouvé cette confiance qui leur manquait tant lors du premier tour de ce championnat. et quel symbole le dernier but de zizou!" is what a french person would say today....
it was crazy yesterday evening in paris, i'm telling you.... i only saw the last 15 minutes.. before that, i had paris for myself, than i watched the end of the game and after that, half of the paris
now everybody is waiting for saturday to come!
you know what the craziest thing is? most of the french people truly believed that france would win yesterday...

et un et deux et trois - ZERO!
oh no, shit, that was in 1998...
ET UN - ZERO!
it's crazy here...
michel, remember what we said in utrecht? i think u'd better book your ticket to paris now...

Viva Italia!

(you see, my loyalty is driven by pragmatics )

viva Italia?
bullshit
QUI NE SAUTE PAS N'EST PAS FRANCAIS!

(i'm so looking forward to the end of this world cup.... the games are shown on giant screens in the rugby stadium and the soccer stadium accross the street from my apt, it's terrible.... at least i'll be working on the champs elysées next week so if france win, i'll be able to see all the players from the balcony of HSBC on monday...)

well i have to join joachim right now in his support for the azzuri!
FORZA ITALIA!!!!!!

.............
good for you, supporting a bunch of simulators....

Don't worry Raph.
I'll support the Frenchies

Viva la France

THANKS LEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
POWER!

Simulators?? That is genuine human emotions on display!

do you knwo this famous video called "the italian training" J?
it's pretty funny!

I don't know. I know this movie in which Italy is compared to the rest of europe, also pretty funny. But I am not sure if you refer to that one or to a different movie. Enlighten me

it's just a one minute video showing the italian soccer players during their training and you can see all of them falling on the field, pretending they are hurt etc...
it's the international image of the italian soccer... it's a pretty old video but as you can easily image, everyone is sending it again in france these days! this one and several videos of zizou of course... the national hero

ah, ok. I don't know it, but I'll have a look for it on google or something...

enough talking about soccer :
i'm spending one week in NYC in september and guess what : i just saw that a few meters from my hotel was a thai restaurant with the N) 41 on the menu....

Well, so much for the game. "afschminken en naar huis jongens!" (take off your grime (?) and go home guys). I must say I am suprised how fast the party is over here in Italy. Yesterday there was the celebration of the players, but today all is business as usual again.

Time for a new topic! (I will see to that )
