The French really self-destructed this year, and their coach is a real loony-tune. Besides kicking off his best player for insulting him, he organizes his team by astrology. As Domenech said in 2008, “All parameters have to be considered and I have added one by saying there is astrology involved.”
And he also generated one of my absolute favorite quotes this year, and one you may see me quote again: “”I am not superstitious; it brings bad luck.” HAR!
I’ve been following the story on french tv TV5 and that is becoming a matter of State! I say live with it.
Up here, it sounds pretty much what we thought of our Montreal Canadiens since 1993; they are overpaid, they act like jerks, f^ck all the time, have enourmous egoes, and don’t play like they should.
Like football players in the States.
Some in France say they represent the no-good immigrant youth of the citées and are proof we should hate them.
Ah, the game of soccer: a bunch of guys in shorts, running around on a grass field for an hour and a half, and the game ends in a 1-0 score (if you’re lucky, and it’s not 0-0).
Soccer has all the thrill and excitement of:
1) watching paint dry
2) watching grass grow
3) watching iron rust
4) watching the Rockies erode
well, you get the idea.
And Ahab, playing them is healthier, well the other advantage of soccer over “American” football is that its a lot less likely to leave you a quadriplegic, or with joints so bunged up by age 18 you can’t get in the military.
Now, watching golf, or baseball, or yep, “football” is well, much more boring than a lot of activities. Hmmm, curling, now THERE is some excitement!
And I’ll add this, how often do you see a football player getting shot to death for accidentally scoring a touchdown for the other team? In soccor, their have been players who have been killed for accidentally scoring for the other team, or goalies who fail to deflect a goal. I mean, it’s a game, okay? Gee whiz.

Danziger’s exquisite drawings are hurt, not helped, by slathering color all over them. I’m sure there’s no going back on this, but there should be.

The caricature does seem perfect. Long the folks challenging Italy to see who can surrender the quickest, hands and nose in the air.

World Cup teams have the worst sportsmanship of any other professional sport I know. Can’t stand it.
