Finished watching #Wales / #Ireland, and pleased by Wales's performance. 20 minute reds are a nonsense. I know that the idea is to not have a sending off completely scupper a team's chances, but my preferred solution is for players to not behave like bell-ends and so not get sent off. Now on to #Italy / #France. #AllezLesBleus! #rugby

It's 8 pm & I'll be going to bed to get up again at 3:30 am to watch the #olympics #closingceremony.

I'll miss having something exciting to watch every minute of every day

PS: Did you know this was the first Olympics in which #men were technically allowed in the #artisticswimming ?

None qualified though.

They must be using that Eurovision boo-suppressing technology for the Argentine anthem. Kick their racist asses, les gars. #AllezLesBleus #MastodonFC #paris2024

Goaaaaaaal!

@rugby #Rugby #FRAvENG nothing much on the line so it's an opportunity to show off and try some new stuff in #Lyon - #France has some lost pride to find after a bit of a nose dive, #England still looking to show they've rebuilt and are ready to play.

Anthems coming up...

Cardiff city centre on match day always tugs my heart strings. These are the days I miss home. Win or lose, to be at the heart of it, the nation's collective emotion, singing in victory or defeat.

I have no hopes for today other than to watch some of the best athletes compete in the name of their national fans.

Let's revel in being able to watch two hardworking, beloved teams play a very special sport.

Merci, Équipe de France social media, for reminding me that this exists. One year ago today vs Poland. #mastodonFC #France #football #WorldCup #AllezLesBleus

Bin auf dem #flohannes in #darmstadt und habe die Aufkleber zuhause gelassen

Mann Mann Mann wie blöd von mir

@stiofi as George Hook once said, 15 French men could meet at a metro station and decide to beat the All Blacks.

Fabulous stuff.

Glorious.

@flodebarre #ThierryHenry and #AmandineHenry are both among the best #French #Soccer players, but they are not related to each other. #AllezLesBleus!

Wauw, try Wales. Frankrijk moet aan de bak. #AllezLesBleus

Of wordt het afgekeurd? Nee, try staat. Conversie ook goed.

Two medals for Alexis Pinturault already in the #Alpine world championships -- chapeau monsieur !

PintuRoi, like L'Équipe called him. Yep.

#AllezLesBleus

And later today (since it's well past midnight here.)

#Biathlon World Championships.

Yikes.

Super yikes.

I might perhaps even go as far as to say bloody 'ell.

I'm not ready.

(I'm too sensitive for this kind of excitement. )

But whether I'm ready or not:
#AllezLesBleus !
Allez Quentin !
Allez allez allez !

(I didn't celebrate this here on Mastodon earlier today so excusez-moi while I ~)

PINTU !! OUI OUI OUI !

MONSIEUR !

Today was a great day in the #Alpine World Ski Championships!

(What am I talking about, you ask? -- The great Alexis Pinturault is the new world champion in alpine combined. And I'm extra happy for him because it's been a tough season for him so far. )

#AllezLesBleus

Game on! That Capuzzo try, though...
