2/ FIFA 2026 WITH MELISSA

 

Second show about FIFA World Cup event with Melissa from Measi.net

From 11th June to 19th July

I have given a call to my journalists friends who usually hosted the TV show for the OG : Nelson and Gérard and my couple of mice as the fan team to support the players.

Depuis le début de la Coupe du Monde de Football le 11 juin dernier Melissa de chez "Measi's musings" organise un nouveau challenge pendant la compétition.

J'ai invité mon équipe de journalistes et mon couple de souris rebaptisé "aficionados" pour l'occasion.

Nelson:

With this second match won 3-0 how is the coach feeling?

Gérard:

Good! France will meet Norvège next Friday and the result will give us the final standings for the groupe I.

On the way to the round of 32!

Nelson:

What about Jocondine's challenges? Any progress? 

Gérard:

Well, with this jet lag thing it's not easy to knit or sew during the games so it's most often afternoon work which will be shown. And this start under high temperatures 37°C/41°C won't be very productive I'm afraid.

So let see how our mascots are progressing on their goals

Last measurement of the blue angora scarf was 92 cm

the referee can now attest 106 cm!

Maple is the team coach of fans

I saw those bouncing guys on the internet

TROYES

I know we are travelling around the country with the Tour de France but we had a small trip to Troyes and I want to share some pictures. We discovered a lovely town not too far from home with a lot to visit during four warm and sunny days.

Old town with half timbered houses

and the famous cats alley

Cats used to jump from roof to roof

Old apothicary, so many boxes the perfect place for me

La cité du vitrail -    Stained glass  museum
