Pressure

It's been a crazy weekend for France. We were doing pretty badly but now it's all falling apart. We have players going on strike, federation people resigning, and more importantly, we can't score goals. The office is mocking me and my French flag is flying low. I'll support France till the end though, it's not like we were cheese eating surrending monkeys.

There was comments from Anelka to the Coach that got leaked to the press. I could have predicted that: Newspapers have made huge hits publishing "off" comments from politicians recently (Like Gordon's bigoted woman), and it was only a matter of time before they applied the recipe to Sport. Who are we kidding? Do we think that people are polite on the pitch, off the pitch? they don't make fart or burp? of course they do. It is just that journalists respected this before. Now that sales are struggling, they are on the lookout for the next scandal at low cost. All the info is there and always has been. Free info - big sales - very tempting.

Let's sport be sport please. Let's stop diving or pretending (Ivory cost / kaka's elbow). Let's be paid less. Let's sweat more. Let's make people dream! Shit, I sound like a Nike ad.
