A France Funny
You know, I still can’t get enough of the World cup events, and I’m apparently not alone. Here’s a video about an Italian company that capitalized on the headbutt.
Humorous. One of the quotes is something about “transforming an act of violence into a symbol of nonviolence.”
Uh…yeahrightsure. You’d have more credibility [...]
France Fans: Where Were You a Year Ago Today?
So where were you one year ago today?
Yes, it was a year ago. The World Cup final. We were all watching as the game played itself out, with all the drama and trauma and excitement and violence that the promoters had hoped for/feared.
I was down in Oregon for [...]
Cantona Says World Cup Loss Was All Raymond’s Fault
Hurray! At last! An excuse to post this Cantona picture. (I love Eric Cantona.)
An interview in Australian Four-Four-Two with M. Cantona showed up on my screen this morning where he discusses the World Cup loss to Italy. His conclusion was that this loss had nothing to do [...]
Zizou and the “Crafty Fag”
There is American English, and there is British English. Don’t confuse them. I made the huge mistake of reading this article with my mind set firmly in American English mode, including the following sentence:
“Zidane…was caught on camera having a crafty fag before the World Cup semi-final against Portugal last summer.”
Giggle.
I [...]
Translated Article About “Rendez-Vous le 9 Juillet”
A couple of people have asked me for some translations to the video, Rendez-Vous le 9 Juillet or a subtitled version. I think the subtitled version is a great idea, and I’ll keep my eye out, but I don’t hold out much hope — there’s just not the audience. (What’s wrong [...]
Rendez-vous le 9 juillet (World Cup Revisited In Interviews)
I have to say I haven’t watched more than the first couple of minutes of this yet, because I wanted to get it posted. I can’t imagine it being allowed to stay up forever.
It’s apparently the full-length Canal+ show,Rendez-Vous le 9 juillet. It’s an hour and a half long, but if you [...]
France, 2006 in Review: Zidane Retires
What?
A Zidane Video.
Why?
Because I can.
I’ve seen a couple of Zidane videos in my time. Okay, maybe more than a couple. This is my favorite. I’m posting this as my last France World Cup Blogger act of 2006. Here’s to more great French football in ‘07!
France, 2006 in Review: The Zidane Post-Headbutt Interview
I realized that most English-speaking viewers probably haven’t seen this interview, so I tracked down a subtitled version. (How much do I love YouTube?)
This is the Canal+ interview. I wish I could show the one that appeared on TF1, because that one’s a lot more interesting. (The interviewer [...]
2006 in Review: France World Cup Highlights
To look back on the year, I’ve found a fun little video that shows all of the goals France scored in World Cup, as well as clips from the ceremony in Paris honoring the players. (If you don’t speak French, the subtitles at the end basically say, “Where’s Zizou?” Etc.)
A Little Late, But Worth The Wait
Okay, so yes, Thierry Henry should probably have been on the podium as a FIFA Player of the Year finalist instead of Zidane. But if that had been the case, we never would have been able obtain a definitive answer to the question that so many of us have been pondering for so [...]
