It’s 11:19pm right now in Paris and outside of our apartment crowds of people are yelling, singing, and whistling. Cars are honking their horns as they drive by. The atmosphere is…electric. France (Aller Les Bleus!!!) have just beaten Spain 3-1. In the closing minutes of the game Zinedine Zidane scored an amazing goal to seal the game for certain. Not only is Zidane one of the greatest footballers of all time, he is France’s Michael Jordan and Roger Clemens put into one. The crowd was going nuts as a victory was nearly certain, but after this…it was off the chain. I have never seen anything like this as the cities that I grew up in in the US never had a team celebrate a huge victory. It’s really fun…I’m going to certainly go to the city center for the next match when they face Brazil…another great team. If they win then it will be…uh…uh…even more off the chain!
