It's the quatorze of juillet, Bastille Day, so a big bonjour to my French amis. I'm sure you were tous glued to the telly the other night, mes amis, watching the héros national, Zinedine Zidane, apologising to the kids and explaining why he did what he did. His sudden transformation into the X-Men villain Juggernaught came apparently because Materazzi said something about his mum. Well, on the playground, you gotta do what you gotta do, as Kenny Rogers used to say, "sometimes you gotta fight when you're Zidane". It could be that Zizou has actually done more to raise the profile of soccer in the United States than anybody else, maybe even Beckham. Everybody's talking about him. Even David Letterman made references to him last night on the Late Show, remarking that calling your mother a whore is a standard greeting in New York. Maybe he could get him to come on the show? Perhaps Zidane is the man to heal Franco-US relations? Happy Bastille Day, citoyens. Good luck getting rid of the extrème-droit in the next elections. Liberté, égalité, fraternité, et tous ça.
aux armes, nos citoyens
