The French Firefighter Olympics Are Much Cooler Than The Real Olympics (Video)
The Summer Olympics are cool and all, but I would like to see Usain Bolt attempt to scale a 10-foot wall and run across a 20-foot balance beam during his 100-meter sprint. I bet this is one race that the fastest man in the world wouldn’t be the fastest in. I have always admired the [...]

Instead, it turned out to be anything but friendly as the teams from the [...]

French Coach Raymond Domenech Refuses To Shake Hands On His Way Out Of The World Cup
There should be no disputing the fact that France have clearly been the “losers” of the 2010 World Cup thus far, but following the post-game antics of coach Raymond Domenech after a 2-1 loss to South Africa (which eliminated them from the tournament), their label will undoubtedly change from just “losers” to “sore losers”.

The French are not particulairly known for their hockey skills, and perhaps this is why.
