We Kicked Your Ass Good (Now I Can Go Back to Not Liking Football)

I am not a fan of football (or sports of any kind) but yesterday there was a football match between France and Ireland. As a French person living in Ireland, I had to sort of follow it.

Before I go on, I must admit that if I had been in France at the time of the said Football game, I would have supported the Irish, that's how much I don't like to be like everyone else: see a herd, run the opposite way!

Well as a good patriotic French woman (pffffft!), I had to support the French players. I don't know anything about football, all I can say is that the French were not only better-looking, they also had waaaayyyyyy nicer T-shirts than the little Green men (the Oirish!).

Anyway, I was on Facebook and Twitter shouting my support for the French team when my daughter shouted that they had got a goal. No more goals were gotten by any of the team during the rest of the game (how hard is it to kick a ball into a net, really?) so the French won after all. Well, what business have the Irish playing a game that they call soccer when everyone else calls it Football anyway?

So I'm done with football for now, I really don't care if the French win or lose their next game, same for the Irish, I can go back to not liking football again!
