One of the most succesful countries in the contest is France (winner in 1958, 1960, 1962, 1969 and 1977).
But in recent years the French results have been disappointing. Which might be the reason they preferred to run dance themselves in an offside position with the song “allez! ola! olé!” performed by Jessy Matador in 2010.
The message to the viewers seems to be: We don’t even want to win! (=We enter this competition for promotional purposes only!)
Instead of a song for the ESC stage they put a song for a football stadium together. It’s bland, repetative, cheap and goes nowhere. And you probably need to be drunk to feel like shouting along enjoy it.
At least it’s in french.
I’d rather have people put their heart into something and fail instead of not being capable of any heartfelt effort at all.
They didn’t even bother to provide performance footage.
Unless they come up with a big surprise on May 29th they will get the result they asked for.
But we’re here for the lesbian coefficient.
First of all football is a VERY popular sport for lesbians. So a football song like this was probably just chosen to collect our votes. 
And we sure like to dance (even to a ridiculous song).
But the poor quality is a real turn-off.
top lesbian line: (couldn’t find one)
result: 19%lesbian
