Cheating Portugal Highlights against France.
A couple days ago, J2T posted on the constant theatrical diving and flopping of the Portuguese players during the semi-final against France on Wednesday. Here's the video of the highlights of their disgtusting behavior :
and the best dive was undeniably Cristiano Ronaldo as you can see here. Ain't we glad they lost! There is some poetic justice in that.
Somewhere beneath all the inane clichés that politicians and the media bandy about, there lies a true Franco-American relationship that stems from a deep appreciation and fascination with each other's language, culture and society. This is where we live, below the radar, exploring the mundane, finding pleasure in the details, and sharing our passion for another culture with our students. We are educators, teaching English in Paris and French in Boston. Trained and training at the Sorbonne and Harvard, respectively, we choose here to let our café conversation spill out onto the sidewalk. Others should feel free to eavesdrop or join the conversation through comments.
