Dear XI family.
I know that football (soccer) is not that popular in the States or Canada, but here it is as close to religion as it could be. Today Croatia is playing our first World Cup final ever (we are a 27-year young nation of 4 million people) and winning would put a smile on the face of people that are too often on the brink of tears. So I have a favour to ask: put your hands up, beer on the table and let your voices be heard as you cheer on our team, our heroes that could bring glory to a small, beautiful and proud nation.
To all French members of this community, have a good game my friends, may the best team win good luck!
your friend derx
