France Can Dance Too

02.07.06

There’s only one team in fútbol who they
say “dances.” I mean really dances. A
commentator said something about the
Argentines doing the tango, but then
there you see the fallacy. It’s said: “It
takes two to tango,” which suggests maybe
potential for options. But really the
definition is quite specific. There
are rules. Two tango, no more, no less. A
soccer team has eleven players. No
application there for tango. Samba? –
Yeah it’s more loose, but still think only two
are involved. For 94 minutes the
Brazilians had rare left feet. France kicked ass.
