well he was in florida at the time so...1m vs 10m really isnt that much of a difference.

I thought so too! The French simply change the gender of the Blues — Les Bleus for men, Les Bleues for women — but you can’t really do that with Die Mannschaft, because that’s already a feminine noun. I suppose you could go with Die Frauschaft, but that’s a ridiculous and made up word. Which, of course, the Germans…

It seems blindingly self-evident that that’s what happened.
