World cup fever strikes Epeigné's Le Lézard Vert

Allez la France!`

Epeigné's epicerie/bar has got into the spirit of the World Cup with French flags and slogans on the windows and plenty of good-hearted banter when I go to collect the bread in the morning. Although none of the three teams – France, Algeria and England – with known support have managed to distinguish themselves so far. Despite the good humour it may be best not to remind Nacer that Algeria lost to Slovenia on Sunday. 


Friday looks to be the big crunch match – Algeria versus England – with both teams needing to win to keep their hopes of progressing to the next round.
