I'm a connoisseur of French-bashing and I have to say that this was crisp and robust without being sharp. Firm structure and smooth, not hard or heavy. Well done.

a bit OT (as if the entire thread isn't), but I know of a bunch of people who resent that the sport they call "football" we Americans refer to as "soccer". How about we compromise and call the sport "metric football"? Everyone else around the world will think the adjective is merely descriptive, while Americans will know deep down that's it's derogatory and that real football is measured in yards, not meters. Everyone can be happy, and we'll all be on the same page liguistically.

we dont measure in meters, we measure in yards, 6 yard box, shot from 40 yards out, etc.

It's about time the European elite started recognizing the superiority of the imperial system. American innovation never gets its proper credit across the ocean.

You mean Mexico in the Round of 16 in the 2002 World Cup?
