Technical Difficulties (And: Argentina 1-0 France)
Okay, first thing. Argentina 1-0 France. Argentina scored in the fifteenth minute. France didn’t score at all. (And why does Domenech keep requiring yet MORE proof that the Henry-Trezeguet pairing Does Not Work?!? Three words, Raymond. A. Nel. Ka. In place of either one. Although Anelka was subbed in in the 72nd and it apparently didn’t make a difference.)
Yes, this sucks. Although not as bad as it could have, given all the injuries.
And to make matters worse. No, I have not seen the game. Yet. This is a very sore subject. The #$%^& French Football Federation website was more than happy to take my money, but then they wouldn’t give me anything but a “Video Not Available” error message. So let’s just say I’m NOT recommending them in the future unless I can see some proof that this will work. I’ll let you know if they give me my money back. And I will keep seearching for more options for myself and other US fans of my beloved Bleus/Tricolores.
On top of that, two of the three French liveblogs I usually rely on when I can’t see the matches kept crashing. (And yes, one of these was the FFF website. Go figure.) So I don’t even have a great idea of how things played out. Yet. (Although it looks like Ribery played well.)
But here’s the good news. My delightful husband (aka the enabler of my addiction) knows the owner of an Irish pub that has Setanta. And Setanta is showing a replay at 4:00 our time. And I told my husband that if he could get them to play the France Argentina game for me, he would be totally off the hook for Valentine’s Day. Completely. I’m not kidding.
(Sorry, guys. There are not a lot of women like me out there. You’re still on the hook for that diamond bracelet.)
So I’m heading out soon to watch my beloved French guys lose. I’ll let you know how much fun that is.
