  • The name "France" itself comes from Latin Francia, which literally means "land of the Franks," or "country of the Franks".[24] There are various theories as to the origin of the name of the Franks. One is that it is derived from the Proto-Germanic word frankon which translates as javelin or lance as the throwing axe of the Franks was known as a francisca.
  • The borders of modern France are approximately the same as those of ancient Gaul, which was inhabited by Celtic Gauls. Gaul was conquered by Rome under Julius Caesar in the 1st century BC,[35] and the Gauls eventually adopted Roman speech (Latin, from which the French language evolved) and Roman culture.

This usage still survives in the name of the national currency prior to the adoption of the euro, the franc.

    Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel) Eiffel Tower is the symbol of Paris and likely the most recognizable landmark of the city. It was built by Gustave Eiffel for the World Exhibition of 1889 and it was never meant to be a permanent addition to the city's skyline. Initially the artists and writers of Paris expressed their strong disapproval in regards to the tower but later generations commended it. The figures are impressive (like the fact that it weights 7000 tons) but forget about them and try to enjoy the sight

ADIDAS JABULANI 2010 WORLD CUP MATCH BALL - 1 views

  • he JABULANI has fantastic grip, giving players full control over the ball under all weather conditions.
    • Evelyn Sosa
       
      This is incredible new technology, because it can give control to the players in any weathers. In some balls that is a problem, because when is snowing or raining the ball is too slippery making the player descontrol.
  • retail price of £80 for the match ball and £15 for the replica.
    • Evelyn Sosa
       
      It is really intresting how the cost of the ball changes in Europe from America. In some places you can buy the replica from 12 pounds, and in some other places is cheaper. That in a way is good because some people will not buy the original because of the price, so they buy the replica, but that is quite bad for Adida's Company.
