Obviously I hold no flag in this competition because my home team didn't make it to the World Cup. I admidt it is pretty hard for a team that doesn't exist to make it anywhere. I just enjoy the game (the only sport I can watch on TV... well that and figure skating). I am probably the only person -still alive- that cheered BOTH opposing teams in a national finals. :devious:, I admit that it wasn't too smart.
But I do have my sympathies. After 4 years of "brain washing"... I mean education in the AF I feel like blurting out
"Allons enfants de la Patrie / Le jour de gloire est arriv? !" every time France plays. Instead I always end up cheering the underdogs. I am a sucker for a happy, fairy tale ending. In the last wold cup I went against my natural instinct of supporting a latin-american country and rooted for France. I couldn't stand Brazil's arrogance.
BTW, DK won. Hihi...
Better luck next time to France and Uruguay.
