The Blue et Les Bleus

Great day for a couple of my football clubs yesterday. The Blue Bombers crushed the Eskimos 46-10. The Esks moved the ball through the air, but stumbled when they got close to scoring. On the ground they were abysmal; Troy Davis had 8 carries for 11 yards. Before the game I told Warren and Corey that the Esks weren't going to get 20 points, and they didn't. Ha!

The Blue offense, which had been a concern, scored almost at will. Glenn had 3 TDs passes, Roberts ran for 1 (and 95 yards overall), and then the backup QB Quinn came in and also moved the ball, throwing another TD to Stegall.

Earlier, Zinedane Zidane was just outstanding in France's 1-0 win over Brazil. They really dominated the match, and should really have won by more, although Brazil battled to the end and had a couple of chances to tie it up. I thought France could beat Brazil, and they did. Ha!

Of course, I also told a friend that Argentina was going to win it all, which ain't gonna happen. But I said the other finalist would be France.

Bring on the semis!

I really want France to win tonight.

I can't imagine what Italy - Portugal would look like. Everyone would be rolling around on the pitch.
