Bonjour mes amis!
I'm back, and for one reason:
The World Cup 2010.
Yeah, I'm a girl and I care about the football World Cup.
I warn you: I will scream in joy, shock, fear throughout the tournament, will cry (uh-huh, I care that much), will sulk, will laugh and jeer, and will quite possibly be rude. So please, bear with me during this period.
..Do you even need to ask who I'll be supporting?
There is no doubt in me that World cup '98 was my favourite. At the time, I still lived in Paris, which was where the tournament was held. The atmosphere was incredible, my parents were actually so keen about football which was a first, and I chanted for the Blues practically every day, even when they weren't playing. Such a good month of my life.
Back to 2010 - some of the internet logos out there in honour of the upcoming month:
Google
The French Google.. yeah, they just had to be different
There are people who think that football is overrated, over-funded, boring, pointless... I can somewhat understand that. But there's something about this sport, more than any other sport, which seems to unite whole countries together, at least for an hour and half on the days they play, and that's what amazes me about football. Game of hearts, not of minds.
So I'll leave you with some of my favourite/most memorable moments and photos of international football. It's seeing things like these that makes me love football.
OK I'm a little biased, but what did you expect?

p.s. Check out this website for a beautiful calendar of the upcoming month.
