France, Stop Crying

I refer to my post that was published yesterday. In response to the French petition, Argentinians have banded together to start a petition of their own with a "France Stop Crying" demand. 

 

And as at 16:00 hours (Malaysian time) today, it has already amassed more than 725,000 signatures! Grow up, France!

 

A UK businessperson has been left with 18,000 useless T-shirts which wrongly herald England as World Cup champions.

 

Football fan Karl Baxter was so convinced the Three Lions were going to return home from Qatar as winners that he had the tops printed ahead of the quarter-finals. Sprawled across the back of the shirts are the slogans 'England, Cup Winners 2022, It's Finally Home' and 'The Day It Came Home'. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But the gamble didn't pay off, with Gareth Southgate's side losing 2-1 to France in their quarter-final match.  [My post "Morocco and France Advance To Semi-final" on December 11 pertsains}.

 

In his plea to fellow English supporters, Baxter had reportedly said: "We have reduced the price of these unique items as we certainly won't be getting any more. So, wear it with pride, add it to your collection, use it to clean the windows... we don't know". 

 

LOL!
