Bixente in Les Yeux dan les Bleus

Seeing as I'm somewhat in a nostalgic mood this weekend, I figure heading back even further to the 90s might be appropriate to remain somewhat on a French theme.

In this instance we're heading back to 1998, and to a certain French documentary chronicling France's journey towards World Cup victory that year. The film titled Les Yeux dan les Bleus (roughly translated The Eyes in the Blue... I think ) basically takes you from start to finish on the victorious journey, and as you can tell from some of the shots below, manages to make a couple rather intimate pit-stops along the way.

With of course a minor stop in the team locker room featuring French soccer player Bixente Lizarazu perhaps easily being my favorite.

I can almost barely understand what they're saying, but as far as I can tell, they're just goofing around mostly... so I guess in spite of the lack of subtitles in this clip, you're really not missing anything 'groundbreaking' .

The above shots (along with the videos) are from the 90s, but this last shot here is a more recent one. Granted he's aged a bit since his World Cup days, but judging by that firm steel on the torso, I think it's safe to say he's still got it .
