French - Arabic Movie about Soccer

Post by Marcus K »

An old comedy film about a French versus Algerian (I think) soccer teams, playing in somewhere in Paris. The entire movie is about this soccer match. My father-in-law remembers only some of it.

In the beginning, a frenchman with a french flag boards a bus, realising the entire bus is filled Arabs and he is the only one cheering for France. In the stadium, same person is the only one in the audience cheering for France, while the rest cheer for the opposite team (An Arab nation, I think it's Algeria)
The audiences watching the game makes all the fun. :mrgreen:

Can't cite much more,

Would greatly appreciate if someone could help out!! :)

There is definitely a lot of tension in this movie, since Algeria has been a French colony.
