OL makes its six straight -- but the malaise continues.
OL won its sixth straight league championship in the French soccer league, but they did it not by winning on Sunday, but by playing to a tie just as I saw them do last Wednesday.
I had hoped that they would win on Wednesday at home so that we fans could all spill out onto the field to celebrate. Perhaps they're saving it for this weekend's home game.


After winning the league, the players also spray-paint their hair red and blue (colors of OL) and play like that (believe it or not).
In the center of the city near where I live, on the Hotel de Ville mayor's office they have hoisted a celebratory flag: Thank you OL, Six times Champion, Six Times the Best.
Just to keep drunk revellers from desecrating the fountain in the middle of Place des Terreaux, they have put up a wire fence around it. Just as they did during the World Cup last summer.
