Dear teammates of Les Bleus, dear fans of the French national team,
From the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you.
Thank you for the love you have shown me since the very first day I wore this blue jersey. I was born in London and grew up between different cultures, but France… France has always been my childhood dream.
The summer holidays at my mother’s home, the matches we watched with passion, Zidane, Henry, Ribéry those legends who made me fall in love with the game and with this country.
Today, when I run onto the pitch with you, I’m not just playing to win. I’m playing with my soul.
Every pass, every goal, every effort is my way of giving back even a little of what you’ve given me: your trust, your pride, this beautiful feeling of truly belonging to something greater.
Thank you to my brothers in the team Kylian, the veterans, the young ones for welcoming me as one of your own without ever making me feel different. You have helped me grow, and you have helped me dream bigger.
And to you, the fans… your chants, your flags, your tears of joy and even your high expectations all of it touches me deeply. You are the twelfth star on this jersey. You are the reason this blue feels so heavy yet shines so brightly.
No matter where this journey takes us, know that I will always give everything for this team and for you.
Wearing the France shirt is not just an honour it is an emotion that fills my heart every single day.
I love you. We are in this together. Allez les Bleus!
With all my gratitude and love.
Michael Olise

I hope you see how there is a hierarchy of competence in this world? Norway celebrates getting to the quarter finals. If France goes out in the semis, they’d consider this campaign a failure.
Know where you are in life at the moment and play accordingly. Don’t compare yourself to anyone.
Today, I opted to cycle on the road (less busy ones). My friend who's been my instructor wasn't around so I was gonna do it alone. Heh!! Karibu nipite na wamama wawili and a man kwa barabara as I was going downhill 😂😂. Anyway I've learnt the use of the front wheel brake.
If I were pregnant and informed that my fetus had Down syndrome I would absolutely abort. No amount of social media romanticizing of profound disability would change my mind. Contrary to popular opinion, you need more than love to care for a disabled child.
breaking down into tears at your birthday shoot because you turn 39, unmarried and without kids? meanwhile you'll see 39 year old men in the same situation having a blast and living their best lives. not to be in women's business but you people need to set yourselves free.
Again and again, we see that the reason many men are triggered when women talk about rape is that, given the opportunity, they absolutely would rape a woman.
Please stop dragging tribes into every issue. This isn’t about Mt Kenya or any community it’s about basic standards. You can’t turn roads into markets and then scream ‘tribalism’ when order is enforced. Are we seriously allergic to order in this country?
