The Swedes and their goal song have destroyed my brain, and I don’t know whether to thank them or sue them. It’s like the Swiss “Chelsea Dagger.” A perfect goal song for one of the most electric fan bases in the tournament. You know how I know this is a pretty good goal song? It’s not a great participation song, but it’s super upbeat and has great energy. It reminds me of the Vancouver Canucks using Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me).” Great song, but is it a great goal song?

Selon Le Figaro, Quentin est la victime d'une idéologie gauchiste tyrannique :«Le 'totalitarisme antifasciste' prophétisé par Finkielkraut était là à Lyon jeudi soir dans sa forme la plus sauvage mais il plane dans l'atmosphère depuis trop longtemps comme un conformisme vénéneux. Une génération entière formée à déshumaniser tout ce qui s'approcherait de près ou de loin de 'l'extrême droite', un personnel politique qui par couardise donne le change, un clergé médiatique qui forge les anathèmes et à la fin un gamin venu paisiblement protéger une banderole contre 'l'islamo gauchisme dans nos facs' qui meurt sous un déchaînement de coups. ... Quentin dans cette histoire n'est pas 'un militant' pris dans une 'rixe' mais un martyr de la liberté d'expression.»
