Les pompiers s'activent encore mollement autour du ranch Santa Cecilia, dans les montagnes ravagées de Carpintiera, au nord-ouest de Los Angeles. C'est le milieu de l'après-midi, mais l'épaisse fumée bourrée de particules fines qui flotte au-dessus des lieux diffuse une lumière jaune digne des meilleurs films de science-fiction.

All football clubs have issues, all managers are one-eyed, all those who take money from the game are keen to protect their own interests but the sheer amount of bare-faced lying in football really does my swede in tbh.
