No sooner had the final whistle sounded on Sunday, July 15, 2018 (a new date to be marked with a white stone!) In Moscow when the scenes of jubilation multiplied in France, Saint-Martin not escaping not to that blue white red wave. Pure madness!
Whether we like it or not, during a World Cup, almost everyone (!) Begins to love football. Like what such a competition is an open door to take people down the street to sing, dance, light smoke while being climbed on the cars or in the back of the many pick-ups.
In short, there were memorable jubilation scenes yesterday at the four corners of the island, from Marigot, to Concordia, Sandy-Ground, Agrément via Grand-Case, Cul-de-Sac, Quartier d'Orléans and Orient Bay. It was a feast day with different generations gathered all over Saint-Martin to celebrate as it should be, the title of "WORLD CHAMPION" won by the Blues!
A new star for life…
Yes, you are not dreaming, the French team went after their dream, winning a totally unrestrained final against Croatia (4-2). Twenty years after the 1998 title, the young Blues of Didier Deschamps are writing their own glorious history.
They gave their life for a star, they earned a star for life. The one the Blues have worn on their hearts since 1998 will never be lonely again. Their jersey now has something of a constellation. Just like their group. Twenty-three stars left the Luzhniki stadium in the collective intoxication that their elders had been talking about for twenty years. They nodded at memories of memories that were not theirs. In turn, the new generation has written its chapter in a long story in golden ink.
All over France and on the “Friendly Island”, the population lived a historic moment. Let the party begin ! _AF
