!!!!!!!!

While typing my previous billet, i read that Colin McRae passed away in a helicopter crash on saturday afternoon ! His younger son, 5 (!!) years old, was also in !! (2 others were in)
Colin McRae was 39 years old.

The beginning of the weekend, on friday, Grönholm (champion twice in 2000 and 2002) announced his retirement at then end of the current season.
The day after, another champion quit 

For any video game players, many games were named after Colin’s named.
McRae was a WRC (Rally) pilot.
He won once the championship in 1995 in a Subaru Impreza 555 and retired from the competition in 2005.

After Richard Burns (England, champion in 2001 with a Subaru Impreza WRC) in 2005, now Colin McRae

Still hard to believe for the racing fan i am !
Safe after a long career, a “simple” helicopter trip was fatal to him.
He was the own pilot of his private helicopter.
It reminds me John John’s accident :/

RIP Champion !

In a week row :

Rugby - World Cup :
As being the country hosting the Rugby World Cup, we lost the first game of the competition a week ago.
France 12 - Argentina 17 (could be won though if :p we didn’t missed 2 shots)
You can imagine easily how the papers were the day after lol

Soccer - Eliminatory for the European Cup 2008:
The day after the rugby game, our national team played in Italy against the “same” we lost during the last world cup in Germany.
We did a quite good 0-0 and still remain the first of the pool.

But we lost against Scotland on wednesday 1-0 lol
The game was in Paris.
And from the 1st place, we are now 3rd with 3 games to go to get a ticket for the European Cup.

Voleyball - European Cup :
To be honest, i didn’t followed the competition ; all i know is that we … lost quite early in the competition.

Basketball - European Cup :
In spite of having T.Paker the Great, we couldn’t go further than the 1/4 against Russia.
Out of the competition but still in to try to get the “best” rank counting for the Olympic Games 2008.
But we lost again against Lituania.
Last chance for the OG 2008, to win the last ranking game against Slovenia to get a ticket for a “pre-olympic game tournament”.
My little fingers is telling me that we will loose :p the game and therefore won’t be in Beijing in 2008.
alalalalala when i’m thinking about a great OG game France - “Dream Team” (aka USA) in Sidney 2000 ! ^_^

Judo - World Championship in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil :
COCORICO !!!!!
Teddy Riner, a 18 (!) years old from Guadeloupe, a french territory closed by South America, defeated all “monters” in his path in the heavy (+100kg) category.

Moral of all of this ? Because there is always a moral in any stories :

We suck when we are a band but doing great when we are alone !

Maybe we have to think a bit about INDIVIDUALISM !
