Ligue 2. Strasbourg won 3-2 in a good game, at least as good as Freiburg and better than most Swiss first division game I have seen. Stadium was probably 3/4 full, a little bit disappointing as Strasbourg could have been promoted had the other results gone their way.
One big downside of french football is the catering in general and the drinks in particular. Who in their right mind thinks an alcohol 'free' Amstel is worth 3 Euros?
The 'ultras' of strasbourg sits in in one corner behind a goal and they kept on during the whole game, though the rest of the stadium would only join in when they were winning. There were also maybe about 50 fred perry and burberry hooligan types behind one goal, making abig point of not chanting it seemed. They looked pretty uninterested in the game and more keen to look like they were dangerous and liked ot push each other around. Next to them a couple of old types in their 50's that seemed to be in control, kept saying it 'ca va chauffee ce soir'. The police were standing by outside. Very sad. I have no idea if it did, left straight after the game.
