At Least We’re Doing Well in Beach Soccer
Nothing going on with the EdF, so let’s take a look at the Beach Soccer World Cup, going on in Marseille this week. (Question: Even FIFA calls it “Beach Soccer.” Why is that?”)
France is enjoying the home field advantage and has guaranteed themselves a spot in the quarterfinals. They lost on penalties to Senegal after drawing 5-5, but then came back to win against Iran (6-6 draw, with a win on penalties) and Uruguay (4-3 win).
Now we go on to play… Guess who? Italy. Yes, Italy. The game’s on Thursday.
Come on, France, kick butt!!
(As far as I can tell, the games are available in most countries in Europe via the FIFA site, but not available anywhere in the US. I believe they call this “discrimination.”)
More photos after the jump.
The stadium. Packed.
Why are the words “Joga Bonito” echoing in my brain?
Those flamingos make it look so easy.
Do they collect a paycheck for doing this? Seriously? Is anybody else jealous?
