The French (and soccer/football)

J'aime le francais beaucoup. J'apprecie l'histoire des Francais et de contributions francaises pour cultiver.

Mais, je deteste leur nature fausse et poignardant de retour l'arrogance.

However, this story is not about their back-stabbing nature, it is about the determination on the part of the government of France, to instill a sense of nationalism in the French people.

Any football match in France before which the country's national anthem is booed will now be "immediately stopped", French Sports Minister Roselyne Bachelot said Wednesday after meeting with President Nicolas Sarkozy.

The dramatic move followed the booing of "La Marseillaise" during France's 3-1 friendly win over Tunisia at the Stade de France in Paris on Tuesday.

"Any match when our national anthem is whistled will be stopped immediately," Bachelot said after talks with Sarkozy and French Football Federation president Jean-Pierre Escalettes.



Tres bien.
