Ole Ole or Liberte , who will come out on top in the 1st Semi Final?

 

The last four has come around, there are only three more matches to be played, before we know who the next European champions will be.

In theory, we should be salivating over the prospect of Espana against the Froggies which is tonight and EnGerLand against the Clog wearers from the Low countries which will be played tomorrow.

The fact is though, that the two nations separated by the channel have both failed to live up to expectations to date.

We are going to focus on the game tonight and tomorrow will preview the EnGerLand game.

Hispania and Gaul are neighbours who are separated by the Pyrenees mountains and the independent principality of Andorra, which sits nestled in those mountains,

At the beginning of the Napoleonic wars, the two nations were allies invading Portugal, but then Napolean decided he needed to find a job for his brother and invaded Spain to install his brother, Joseph, as king of Spain, an act that did not go down well with the very proud Spaniards. In general, it is probably fair to say that the matadors find the Beaujolais guzzlers arrogant to say the least and that is being polite.

Since 1998, these two nations have won three World cups and three Euros between them. They both have a serious footballing pedigree.

This should be a battle between Zorro and the man in the iron mask, but much to the annoyance of Zorro and his followers, they have been the victims of cultural appropriation by Mbappe and his gang as you can see below,

 

 

Should he be cancelled for this crime?

Zorro, will he scar Les Bleu?

Can he break free of the shackles?

 

Zorro, the swordsman famous for his dashing charges and thrusting blade as he carved up his opponents is personified, by Yamal and Williams, the two wingers we have mentioned before. The Froggies have been ponderous and lacking creativity going forward, much like someone who has spent over thirty years in prison, whilst to their credit their defence has been like the walls of the Bastille, where the said prisoner was held.

Mbappe broke his nose in the first game they played, hitting his nose on the shoulder of a rugged Austrian mountain, and the mask they have provided for him to play has probably been a great hinderance.

Personally, I think they should drop him, it is somewhat like CR7 and the bottle stoppers from Portugal, they are trying too hard to feed Mbappe and without him, would have to cook up other methods of scoring, using some of that famous gallic culinary flair.

Who can be the next Michelin stared chef for les Bleu?

 

Kounde will be up against Williams

The biggest worry, for La Roja, is that two of their starting eleven, the defenders, La Normand and Carvahal are suspended for this game. This means they must make changes at the back. Whoever comes in will be facing the fake Zorro in Mbappe, (as they will play him despite what I have said) and that will be a tough ask.

Olmo, looking to drive through the Maginot Line

As we approach July 14th, will the bull runners from Pamplona manage to storm the Bastille, or will that have to wait until the final which is actually being played on Bastille Day.  We will find out tonight.
