By There is no denying that we are steadily running out of new World Cup joy as the days pass. As a result any new content related to the tournament has a warm, nostalgic glow to it.
A picture of Harry Maguire being welcomed back to England with a barbecue brings on sudden wistful longing for the last few weeks, and a video of Didier Deschamps' team storming his press conference can offer some respite from the emptiness now consuming us all.
Yesterday afternoon the French manager held a press conference following France's historic win on Sunday and, let's face it, probably following a night with beaucoup de rosé.
The celebrations rage on for the team, as was evident when they stormed in singing his name over and over again while spraying champagne and bottles of beer on 'the water-carrier' and jumping on chairs.
Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud, Presnel Kimpembe and a shirtless Benjamin Mendy were amongst the players to invade the press conference in which it appears Deschamps didn't get a word in edgeways.
You can imagine there would be similar scenes in Gareth Southgate's conference if England were the ones hoisting the trophy. Jamie Vardy launching vodka Red Bulls into the press with the mad glint of Sonic the Hedgehog in his eye and Kieran Trippier stoically nursing a can of Strongbow Dark Fruit with a satisfied grin.
That said, we're not convinced we can picture Theresa May being taught to dab by the team, as Emmanuel Macron was by Paul Pogba.
