By the way, did you know that in French, mannequin means a real live person? It's a fashion model. I had to explain to someone recently that they couldn't use the words "Swedish model" in a political article.
Speaking of the Swedish model, the French betting agency PMU has just put out these posters for the game tonight. The coq is the symbol of France, perhaps because the Latin word for a rooster, gallum, meant Gaul too. Gallum in suo sterquilinio! And maybe tonight it will crow perched on the Swedes. Swedes are nice! But I still want France to win.
