Serious family dilemma in Paris. My lad, seven years old, has been belting out 'allez les bleus' all week. His mother is English, his father is English, his passport is British, but he claims that because he was born in Paris, and has always lived here, he wants France, or 'La France' as he disgustingly calls it, to win. I know there is some heavy playground pressure at play here, all his mates are French and he doesn't want to stick out as the only England fan, but I'm still a little bit heartbroken. Also, in a rather twisted way, desperate that I can sit him down at breakfast tomorrow and break some bad news to him gently, that 'La France' have been eliminated by 'Les Anglais'.
