Watching this. Three of the team are from my hometown.
Honestly I mostly see it on the internet (mainly from americans) and in sports. I've never meet anyone in real life who just hated french people for no reason. I've been all over the World and actually people always treat me well when they learn I'm French.
In the US I've been all over the country and even in the deep south people have been super nice to me and always say they'd love to visit France and visit Paris etc... So yeah I don't know where this hate comes from I can't explain it lol

You'd think they'd be more salty towards the team that 7-1'd them on their turf at their national sport
USA? Brazillians (and Argentinians) booes every rival, but I see the most "hate" towards Frenchs and Spaniards. Dunno why

Winning by only 6 points? Shameful.
Yeah, it's probably the worst host ever, what a terrible Olympics it was in organisation and shit, what a fiasco...
Yeah I can't either but I'm a pessimist so, I'll just hope for the best. Considering their performances these past few years I'm already very happy with a final.
True but that's another story.
If it was brazil vs france in handball and the crowd booed us then it would be totally understandable. What's weird is when France is playing against a random country, brazilian fans still boo France and cheer for the other team lol
SO yeah it's deeper than that
Well, we were not that good on offense in the second half, we could have avoided being under the risk of a bad referee decision.
I believe that in this kind of match, we own a good chunk of the victory to Omeyer...
Well, there's plently of unfounded memes/caricatures for all countries in the world. I sure don't want a WW III to have a chance to up the score. People will believe what they want, anyway.
I don't think that talking about the booing will help, anyway.

Wow at France almost falling apart that last 15 minutes
Yes, doesn't really compute in this case.

Goal!
Tomorrow night, 22:30 french time.
It's a fact the refs are more permessive with USA in basket at the olympics due to their huge image, but Spain lose at the first quarter; in any case it wouldn't have been possible to win
I like france. I also like you.
Even though i was very mistreated in France, so i guess i even have a reason, but i don't think that's true for all of the french people.

Hockey should not be 4 15min quarters, its so drawn out.
2 20min halves would be much more palatable...even 10mins a quarter would be an improvement.

At least we are the best in womens badminton
They really should remove horsing from modern pentathlon, or call this "not-so-modern" pentathlon... (fencing, too, probably)
I find the rules for the horsing part kinda strange, anyway...

I feel sorry for that. :/
A lot of those same people that make jokes about France in WW2 also revere them for their contributions to American history
A one hour match is not that long?

I'm very sorry about that bro
Sadly it doesn't surprise me that you were treated badly in my country. We still have a long way to go.
Was it in Paris ?

Where you watching? Well ahead of the BBC.
Yep. Paris is one hell of a city. Truly incredible. I can't say the same for the people i've met there. Although i've heard from some people that is more of a Paris thing and things are better in the rest of the countryI'm very sorry about that bro

The Dutch girls are superior in their ball controll but so sloppy in defence.

Hahahahahaahahaaa...
No, it really isn't a fact.
Same lol. I hope they win it all.
What ? France is the first and older ally of the USA, the only time they dislike each others is when the French wouldn't go to war with them because they know they were lying about WMD... they've made peace since.
We should probably stop talking about anything else than sports though.
Dutch national broadcasting.
I guess the ocean line through the Dutch Antilles is shorter than the Falklands.
Ils sont fous ces Parisiens.
I was born in Paris. The city is slowly turning into a shithole. It's sad but it's the truth.
Honestly I always tell my friends here in Canada who want to visit France to only stay 3 days max in Paris. Start by going to Versailles and then spend 48 hours in the city to see Le Louvre, Montmartre etc...
I always tell them to go to the South or in fact any other region in France because you'll always find tons of historical landmarks in any part of France. The culture is very widespread throughout the country so there's no need to spend all your vacation time in Paris. You're just going to leave disappointed. Paris is no way representative of the rest of the country.
