For the 4th

[littlemissmartypants]

I'm going to be watching the France vs. Paraguay match from home as they play in Philadelphia at 1700.

I'm all in for France. My Adidas Fifa World Cup 26™ France shirt is due to arrive on Friday.

It's the first time I've ever purchased an Adidas or a sports team anything in my almost seven decades of life.

I hope that they win.

I'm known for being lucky. We'll see.

What are your 4th of July plans?

1. France is HOT!

The country and the FIFA team.

What's your connection to France, LMSP? Why do you take a rooting interest in them?

5. French heritage. My pre revolutionary war ancestors were originally from France.

They arrived in North Carolina from France by way of Germany in 1619 as Huguenots.

That's all. ❤️

3. Le Tour starts July 4th. I will be watching

The Tour de France bicycle race. Hope the officials are attentive to the temperatures and adjust to keep the riders safe

4. France has so much talent the tournament is theirs to lose almost

and their draw is good too. If they win against Paraguay they’ll play the winner of Canada/Morocco. So, they’re set up to go into the semifinals, I think. And if the US continues to advance, that’s where we’ll meet. Good luck and Happy Independence Day.

7. They have certainly been amazing up to this point. I'm hopeful.

Thanks for the encouragement in your reply and Happy Independence Day to you, Ponietz. ❤️
