Heard in a café in Paris...

Friend - "You follow France on the football cup !"
Sceptic - "Nah, they already lost for me..."
Friend - "They did ? Well... quite a lively bunch for a lost team".
Sceptic - "Why ? They got away with the qualifications ?"
Friend - "Sure they did... was apparently hard but they did."
Sceptic - "Pff... they won't beat Spain... youngster with lots of energy."
Friend - "mmm... France beated Spain !"
Sceptic - "Yea right..."
Friend - "Yup they did."
Sceptic - "And who was after Spain ?"
Friend - "Brazil..."
Sceptic - "Ah see... they won't go any further."
Friend - "Actually............ they did. They won over Brazil."
Sceptic - "Please stop your sick jokes..."
Friend - "Brazil was not at their best that night I admit but they were still good."

(Some people around turning their heads confirming)

- "They got them man"
- "Where were you Saturday... didn't you heard ?"

Sceptic - "So... you are all telling me that France won over Brazil, right ?"
Friend - "Yup !"

(Silence)

Sceptic, joined by the friend and soon by the others around cheering with their beers at 31 degrees...

- "ALLEZ LES BLEUS - ALLEZ LES BLEUS..."

Note: You never know....... These old timers might actually get to the end... and win. But... even if they don't. Well... The magic was back !
