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.

The Azzurri fans didn’t drag themselves along after the unfortunate penalty, giving way through the streets of Bastia and Ajaccio to the Argentinean fans of an evening. “ Impromptu parades were created in the main thoroughfares of the two cities “, notes the editorial staff of France 3 Corse.

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.
