Europeans are absolutely crazy about soccer. This past July, we arrived in Toulouse for our vacation on the day France beat Brazil to enter the semi-finals in the world championships. Toulouse went out of it’s mind. Drunk Frenchmen hijacked anything and everything they could find. They stole dump trucks, were dancing in the street and even commandeered a semi, piled about 50 people on it, and set it on fire. (Yes, apparently, the French light things on fire when they’re mad, and they light things on fire when they’re happy; there’s an odd sense of symmetry there that is indicative about the French life.)
Anyway, I don’t think this is a French commercial - I’m pretty sure it’s Italian - but this is a great example of European soccer fanaticism.
