La plume de ma tante cordiale

I'm getting excited now... Sunday's match looms large and I'm pretty sure that I'll be supporting both teams. The win is more important to France, who need a boost after the World Cup and are likely to find Croatia tougher opponents than England will. The main thing is that both teams qualify from the group and when one loses, it's in a blaze of glory and not hooliganism.
As an addendum, I drew Croatia in the company sweepstakes so now have three teams to shout for in the group.
