Vive La France!

[piratehead]

Allez Les Bleus!!

Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L'étendard sanglant est levé, (bis)
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes !(Never thought I'd find myself rooting for France, but I got this nasty sinus

I take it this can be roughly translated as "Go France!"?

Can't somebody just feelslike shooting Austrian mercenaries along the Rhine, dipping a flag in their blood, and raising it?

I mean yes, "Go France!"

The second best national anthem I know, bung full of attitude and gore. And a tune you can get your teeth into!

told you.

Am I the only person to think it ironic that the Italians and French are battling for world supremacy?

I mean, I know it's only soccer, but can't they go back to cooking or something?
