They just showed a crowd of Hungarians celebrating in the town square in Budapest - which is great - but what about a shot of pissed off french fans sitting near the Eiffel Tower? I’d like to see that too. 😀
I might of met the wrong type of French fans but the ones I have met are a bid odd with their support. When over there for a few months i obviouslyet and talked to a few. They asked who I supported. I say Charlton. They then say, yeah, yeah (or wee, wee) but who is your top league team. I said what do you mean and they all said well we support (le harve or someone like that) but we support PSG.
Another occasion was when I was in a pub near Hyde Park for the world cup final 2018. Bunch of French in there. They're winning the game but still hardly much noise. It took me and my mate (who are both pretty drunk) to start singing their national anthem. Tbf though our version sounded more like we are shouting "March On." but still where's the passion or do they leave all that in the bedroom?
As I type this those beauty's Hungary just scored. Have it!!
Yes. Last 25 years of working with middle class managerial types from across Europe I met quite a few who were as serious as me about footie. Spaniards, Italians of course but also Germans (lots of them), Dutch, Scandis. But not one French.. always puzzled me who the “real” French fans are.

I feel better already!
They wouldn't have shown up otherwise.
It could be say France then Sweden or Spain then Portugal, which to my mind doesn't leave much of an easier route!
I'd take Hungary then Sweden....
France qualifying in 3rd could mean France v Belgium, the winner playing Italy....
Braindead tackle giving away a freekick. Then wrestling in the box to give away a penalty with the last kick of the match...
