USA! USA! USA!We sure do love me a good talk-a-bunch-of-trash-and-then-get-crushed-by-your-rivals Olympic storyline, don't you? Add the fact that the story involves the French getting absolutely, positively punked, and we love it even more.
Back on August 7th, Frenchie swimmer Alain Bernard had this to say, regarding the upcoming Olympic games and swimming against the USA: "The Americans? We're going to smash them. That's what we came here for."
Well, talk like that will get some attention, which I assume is why douchebag Bernard even opened his mouth about it. I don't know if Bernard was planning to fall into the "typical French guy" mold, but he sure achieved that status. Now the Americans have done this before too, so I'm not claiming that we're the poster boys for 'humility' and 'class'. But Phelps and the rest of the relay team didn't respond publicly to the Frenchie's boasting, which was probably a good move on our part. It made us beating them in the actual race that much sweeter.
If you didn't watch the actual race, it was amazing. Simply. A. Maze. Ing. It was awesome. I was glued to the TV, even though I had already seen on Yahoo! that the Americans had pulled it out. But I had to actually see how it was done. It's one thing to read about something, and something entirely different to watch it happen. Did the French choke? Uh yeah, just a tad.
So to sum it all up--eat it you mustard-loving, crepe-eating, armpit-shaving Frenchies. Suck on that. Go get another hip tattoo or something. (How bi-curious looking is a dude with a freaking hip tattoo of a shark anyway?!?) Just shut up and swim. Rumor on the street is that Bernard broke into tears after losing. I don't blame the guy. If I was made to look like that big of a fool, I may have shed a few tears myself.
