shade Posted 29 May 2014 Posted 29 May 2014 I can tell you that he definitely doesn't ask where the train station is.
Vardinhio Posted 29 May 2014 Posted 29 May 2014 Yes mate loads of people speak French, it is the first language in France and in quite a few African nations.
stevelcfc Posted 29 May 2014 Posted 29 May 2014 If he doesn't talk about what he does in his free time (I.E. Cinema or joue au foot) or contents of his pencil case then I'm snookered. GCSE really does give you transferable life skills.

Itsthejoeker Posted 29 May 2014 Posted 29 May 2014 How an earth he got through all of that without telling someone to "close the door because the cat is under the table" I'll never know!
Vlad the Fox Posted 29 May 2014 Posted 29 May 2014 Did he say what colour his eyes were? I can say what colour my eyes are! Why the **** did they teach me to say what colour my eyes are at school? I've never heard a Frenchman say it. J'ais les yeux blues! At last, I've used it.
ozleicester Posted 30 May 2014 Posted 30 May 2014 Talking about getting his hair cut at the start.  I go to Algeria a lot, went last year.  Always came to this barber with my dad, since I was young.  Chose Algeria because his dad is from there, went there a lot on holiday with him and his brothers.  Was surprised and pleased by selection but going to keep work harder to play better etc, standard stuff Difficult group in the world cup like all of them but believes Algeria can get through because they have a tough opponent in Belgium up first so they'll be motivated (I think).;  He likes Messi, calls him the best player of all time.  Also likes Ben Arfa and others, thinks they play the same way as him.  I'm sure I've missed bits there but nothing revelatory!   The first 4 minutes are absolutely nothing, he talks about how he last visited Algeria a year ago and how he went frequently when he was younger. He talks about how Nassim always cuts his hair.  At the airport he is asked why he chose Algeria.  "I chose Algeria because my father is Algerian. I visit there with my brothers and my family. I have a lot of family and have had a lot of good times there, It's my country. I love this country and I want to wear the shirt, and I will make the most of it for sure."  I think he says that he has been picked in the selection (perhaps this aired before this was announced?) and he wants to work hard to go far and play with the best. He knows Algeria have a tough group but feels they can do something especially in their first game against Belgium. The challenge will motivate them. He always wanted to play on a stage like this and is thrilled to play with players he admires, especially Ben Arfa, Di Maria. He has never prepared like this before,  II've missed a few chunks but that's the gist. He definitely doesn't mention Leicester.  Thanks  Mind you.. 6 and a half minutes for  this?... pretty incisive and informative interviewer  No wonder TV is sh!t
CUJimmy Posted 30 May 2014 Posted 30 May 2014 The most beautiful 2 words of French are Marion Cotillard
Vlad the Fox Posted 30 May 2014 Posted 30 May 2014 Bleus* ****, and then I get the pronunciation wrong.
billyn88 Posted 30 May 2014 Posted 30 May 2014 Mais non monsieur, ok une petite, le girafe est sous le lit, le tigre est dans la douche, le chimpanze est sur la table. That syllabus of chanting combinations of animals, furniture and in/on/ behind/under really set me up for life as a bilingual jet setter didn't it. Some key phrases to listen out for though are:- Jamie Vardy debut le fete - Jamie Vardy start the party Le fille de Pearson - Pearsons daughter Merde - Derby or Forest   J'aime les bon bons a cote de la piscine. Aussi j'aime le zouk.  Seriously - did anyone else get told about this non-existent music called zouk in French at school?  I've lived in France since and no one has ever heard of it.   Back on topic though, very dull interview - he doesn't seem the most willing of interview subjects so that might have something to do with it.Â

Vlad the Fox Posted 5 June 2014 Posted 5 June 2014 ****. It's years of not being able to say it, I'm out of practice. Il a les yeux bleus? I know a song about planting cabbages with my head, have I ever been able sing it. Have I bollocks, what self respecting kareoke would have it?
