If there is a saying "Nothing is Impossible", last Saturday Les Bleus proved it right. Alright, I underestimated them, so did everyone else. The previous seven consecutive defeats from All Blacks did not seem to bother them. Trailing 3-13 in the first half only stimulated their fighting back spirit. I have to admit it was the best rugby match I have ever seen so far... And the best game ever played by Les Bleus. They were discipline. Their defense was like a wall which made All Blacks frustrated. Their sudden attack strategy proved to be extremely effective this time. In addition, the player selections in the first and second half were brilliant, thanks to their coach. 20-18. Chapeau pour Les Bleus!
Next... England in the semifinal. England also made a miracle last week after beating Australia who was another big favorite, 12-10, without any try. Jonny Wilkinson, once again, was the hero of the match. Now, both underdogs were on the cloud nine. England, as the defending champion, will not give it up so easily. France, on the other hands, has learnt their lesson from the beginning of this world cup. Besides, they will take advantage playing in their own home.
Regardless, I think we will witness another world-class game again tonight. Allez, Les Bleus!
