omnivore Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I think it'll be Paris, but if London gets it..that'll be a coup for them.Given this is Paris' third bid, I can't see the IOC saying no to them.

HatCityEnforcer Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Glad to see London get the 2012 Games, especially at the expense of Paris....and much relieved that NYC didn't (even though I'm about 90 minutes due north and west of NYC, I probably would have left town for the course of the games if they had been in NYC)....Of course, what makes this funnier is the fact that yesterday you had Jacques Chirac ripping the British (saying nice things like "the only contribution Britain has given European agriculture is Mad Cow" and comparing British cooking unfavorably to Finnish cooking)...yep, looks really smart now, don't it?

rbripley Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 While most of the comments here appear to be tongue-in-cheek, I am curious as to why the heavy anti-French sentiment around the 2012 Games?
