Belgium 0, France 1. An Olise goal. And France go top of group 1 in the Nations League, at our expense. That’s a disgrace. I’m weighing my words.
RMC Sport headlines its full debrief: “Zidane passes two out of two”. Two out of two. I read that at the table football in the café, and I put my coffee bowl down. We were the test. We’re the second of the two.
And then there’s Pierre Kalulu, after the match: “The coach has 100% confidence in us”. A hundred per cent. Me, in stand 2, seat 14, I’ve never had a hundred per cent confidence in anyone, not even in my half-time cone of chips. There are positives: now we know what it looks like from the outside.
Also on RMC Sport, Zidane talks about his headbutt, twenty years on: “No regrets, but not proud”. No regrets, but not proud. That’s exactly my state after Belgium-France. I posted the line in “Sunday Devils”. My brother-in-law replied with a thumbs-up. He supports the other club, but this time we agreed.
And Zidane also described his celebration on the Olise goal. Describing his celebration against us, now that’s historic. I’m not saying that because I’m a supporter. Well, yes I am.
Nadine, tactically, a 0-1 is a tight game. A flat pitch away, mind you.
After two matchdays, France and Spain lead and Germany disappoint. Germany disappoint. That, I call a good week all the same. Now we take it one game at a time, you know.
It’s true, we checked: RMC Sport.
