The day before offering this on our website:
That gave us a good laugh. Only The Onion Bag. It immediately reminded us of the infamous France 2002 World Cup jerseys. That was our first World Cup since the shop had opened, and by the time June 1st rolled around we were pretty much sold out of every team in taking part in that year's cup. If you recall, the defending champions France were one of the big favorites going in.
So we got on the horn and ordered an amount of France jerseys that, to be honest, I don't think The Onion Bag has carried ever since. Probably because the whole thing left such a bad taste in our mouth!
Long story short, order is placed and finally arrives. The day after France loses 2-0 to Denmark to complete a spectacular exit from the World Cup after only securing one point in three matches, including the tournament's inaugural match defeat to Senegal. Merci, mon ami! It really felt like a kick in the nuts when the UPS driver unloaded all the boxes and we realized what was inside. Oh well, I guess it's true what they say, you really can look back and laugh (sometimes!).
