Happy Birthday, Samir Nasri!

June 27th, 2007 | by: Laurie |

I almost missed this one, but I still have two hours of June 26 left here on the west coast in which to wish Samir Nasri a happy 20th birthday. Yes, Samir Nasri, one of the faces of Les Bleus’ future, turned all of twenty years old today.

To celebrate, let’s take another look at Samir’s first senior National Team goal, shall we?

Hmm, I was almost positive that Nasri’s birthday was on the 20th. But a quick glance at Wikipedia and the FFF website proves me wrong.

And while we’re sending birthday wishes to great Gallic midfielders past present and future, how about a shoutout to ol’ Michel Platini, who turned 52 on June 21st?

I also missed Florent Malouda’s birthday on the 13th. (How the heck did THAT happen?!?) I guess June is when French footballers get born. (And we all thought Raymond and his astrologer were crazy.)

I need to get all of these on my computer calendar — you know, the one that sends birthday reminders.

Oh, wait. Is that obsessive?

not obsessive at all, Laurie! But then I may be the wrong person to judge…

So what’s going on 9 months before June to make all these French footballers get born, hmm? Inquiring minds want to know.

Hot October sex?

Are we saying that doesn’t go on the other eleven months of the year? Well, yeah, okay, October sex does probably happen only in October. But still…

I’m just wondering what it is about French reproductive activity that makes October such a productive month for the creation of little future soccer player embryos. Perhaps we could discover what it is, patent it and get rich.
