The reverse of the French team in this Sunday’s World Cup final against Argentina didn’t just leave the trainees unhappy.
Some in Corsica cultivate a real aversion to France and its symbols. The Blues are one of them, so the defeat of Didier Deschamps’ men in favor of Albiceleste, this Sunday in Qatar, in the World Cup final, could give rise to scenes of jubilation on the Isle of Beauty.

First the traditional horn concerts were played, then gatherings formed, sometimes in the colors of the Albiceleste, complete with pyrotechnic devices to make the scene even more festive.
