Top interview, with his understanding of French, perhaps we can hire him out as a translator to events like the G8, European Commission and random state visits...that should confuse our Francophone friends around the World.

Match report as translated by Babelfish...


The Native of Le Havre begins again by a victory

It is against the club partner of Brighton (D2 English), in a stage Maurice Bacquet copiously furnished with a strong delegation of English supporters (approximately a thousand) that the HAC started its series of matches friendly.

The Native of Le Havre starts the meeting timidly.

So that at the end of the match, the Sky and Navy double the setting by Lesage.

A good departure for the team of the President LOUVEL who just after the meeting noted that definitely, the supporters of On the other side of the channel could give lessons to the French on the state of mind which animates them "They lose (2-0) and leave under the applause their public. Us, one gains and that does not prevent us from being made "light". "There is really a world of difference between these two mentalities...
