Well. If you didn’t catch the match, Les Bleues (who were in white) played an amazing game last night in the World Cup Final. Sadly, even though they played better than the Italians, the game ended on a shoot-out and the Italians took the honours after about 125 minutes. We were all dressed up. All hyped up. The city was ablaze in blue. And at the end of the match it was very sad. People wandering about, glazed with incredulity, confused about the actions of their hero Zidane who received a red card in the last few minutes of his last ever match for headbutting an Italian. Collective cries of ‘why?’.

And now, it’s all finished for another 4 years.
Next year, the Rugby World Cup – HERE in France!

(Just heard on France2, the rumour according to the Guardian, is that the Italian called Zidane a terrorist!)
