Mexico vs. France:

Cloud 9.

7th Heaven.

2 x 0

Ah. There is justice in the world of football. How wonderful it was to see France being thoroughly humiliated by Mexico last night.

Ordinarily I would not display such low feelings of joy at another's defeat. But this is not ordinary in the least.

The French started their little World Cup 2010 novella when they classified by cheating -- Thierry Henry, an exceptional player, scored a hand goal vs. Ireland. And the Irish didn't even trash the city afterwards!

The French coach, the insufferable pompous git known as Domenech, thought it would be a great idea to propose to his TV presenter girlfriend right after France lost to some mediocre team a few months ago.

The entire team is contaminated, people! From the coach down to the meekest reserve, it has been taken over by a deep contempt for the game itself that I don't remember seeing before.

So last night...I simply sat back and smiled with Schadenfreude while I pictured the Mexican goalie placing a large sombrero on Idiot Domenech's head while saying "olé!" rilly rilly loud. This has also been the first match in which the crowd cheering was louder than the appalling Vuvuzelas.

The French commentators, after seeing the disaster that befell Les Bleus, started to build up the Mexican team so it'd appear stronger, thus making it possible to say anything positive about the blatant incompetence demonstrated by the Frogs. "Our adversary is so strong that even though we're good we wouldn't be able to beat this team" and things of the sort. The fact remains that the French not only were not good, they weren't even average! They were a sad spectacle and I could only think of 1998 and then 2002 (when they lost to Senegal in their first match ).

iAy caramba!

Allez Les Bleus... rentrez à la maison!!! ... and... pass the guacamole!!!!
