		<description>&quot;First, a sad bit of French soccer news: France was ousted from the Beach Soccer World Cup by Brazil on Saturday. What’s up with that?&quot;

LOL!!  :-)  Well, c&#039;mon Laurie, you guys can&#039;t beat us IN EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME!!  (I know, I know, &quot;who says we can&#039;t&quot; you ask cheekily!).  In football, we haven&#039;t been able to beat France since 1958 (1958, PEOPLE!!! -- ARGH!!!) so at least we got some little back in beach football.

The beach football world cup is going on Rio right now (or may have just ended) and I&#039;ve watched some of the tournament&#039;s footage on Globo TV (I subscribe).  I&#039;ve seen Eric Cantona interviewed briefly on TV a couple of time, he looks great, very relaxed and very happy to be on the beach.

I&#039;ve seen the tournament in person 3 times in Rio and I always marvel at how the players don&#039;t just die of exhaustion after every game.  (not to mention how they keep the sand out of their eyes and mouth)

It&#039;s a great tournament and officially sponsored/recognized by FIFA -- Cantona&#039;s been involved in the France team for several years now.  France did win it once, a few years ago, they always do well in the tournament.  I watch the coverage as much as I can, it&#039;s a very relaxed, intimate, casual, fun, inexpensive and unpretentious tourmament -- none of the suffocating extravagance and commercialism of FIFA&#039;s major tournaments.</description>
