When my dad was visiting, we went to see France play Austria in a World Cup qualifying match. The stadium, just beyond the city limits, is pretty well done for being a huge block of concrete. It was a fun game, with France winning 3-1. (France must now play Ireland in a playoff in order to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa in 2010.)
There were flags on everyone's seat, which made for a cool effect when France scored their goals. Also, French crowds LOVE doing the wave; hardly five minutes would pass without an enthusiastic fan starting one up.
It was pretty cold and my dad, as seen in the picture, was wearing his fashion week-finest to keep warm.
i love that picture of dad.
