 Here, in the centre of Lille, in north-east France, the eyes were glued on the sports café's small screen. The goal for Les Bleus was to secure against Belgium a spot in the Euros quarter-finals. I was surrounded by French football shirts, Mbappé, Griezmann, N'Golo Kante. But not only, because Lille is so close from Belgium, only 14 kilometres from the border.
