Will 2015 be year of the French?

Most seasons have a defining moment. In France, it came on Sunday night.

The 11 men of PSG emerged early from the tunnel for the second half of their match in Marseille, to be met with an explosion of hate.

They were down 2-1, alone, facing 65,000 hostile fans. The Stade Velodrome is always intimidating; this was the biggest crowd in its history, willing the home side to victory as they in turn walked out on the pitch.
