FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME



Not to this home tho'


A pub record (yet to be confirmed) of 28 (Mostly local village players and thier WAG's..or cousins as we would probably call them) packed in to the village bar last night to watch the France v Uruguay clash, more in hope than expectation.

Expectation I say, the fact that only one person had a French national shirt on was enough proof to confirm the low confidence in Dominech's side.

And the locals were not let down. WOEFUL!

France just can't get it together as a side at the moment, however I wonder if one win will transform things as they certainly have on paper the talent to get far. I fear that the transformation will not happen tho, and an early exit beckons for Les Blues.

The brief excitement was when Lodeiro was sent off and hopes were briefly raised. All in vain my French friends, and within 5 minutes of the final whistle, the bar had emptied to 4 people.

A few locals want England to do well as the premiership is much watched here, but in all honesty, Spain is the team they would like to win it most.
