I was just 20 when France organized the World football World cup in the country.
My head full of dreams, I was about to be a bachelor.
At the beginning, nobody thought France would go far away in the tournament. But quickly, the team surprised the country, and later all the world, while beating Brazil 3-0. Three !!! The country was living a dream. Everything was perfect : the sunny weather, different succesfull stories of players inside the team, some secrets like : why Laurent Blanc kissed Barthez's head every match ? The coach Aimé Jacquet, who inside him, had a huge motivation to win against the negative hype around him.
I was 18, was about to be a bachelor. When my generation will be older (are we already ?) We will realize how lucky we are to have live this.
Win the world cup that your country organize is a sensation that every human should live in his life. The communion with the country is totally crazy.
Then we won Euro 2000, lost final in 2006 and 2016. But please, this time, Didier Deschamps : please do it. Even if we are not at home.
