France Soccer Team Not Roughing it at World Cup
By Jason McIntyre
“France sports minister Rama Yade questioned Sunday whether the national football squad needs such luxurious lodgings at the World Cup, suggesting instead a thriftier option should have been used during a time of economic crisis. The squad is staying at the Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa in Knysna, South Africa, on the Indian Ocean.” Spain, a World Cup favorite, is cutting costs by roughing it at a University. Other reasons we’re shaky on France advancing (even though it is the favorite in Group A) – the World Cup’s home team usually advances, Mexico isn’t bad, and Uruguay hasn’t had a World Cup win since 1990 and is due, plus, it looked good at times during qualifying.
