Ohh...Les Francais....

In an embarrassing mix-up, the wrong national anthem was played for Albania before it faced France in a European Championship qualifier on Saturday.

Players looked bemused as they realized it was the wrong anthem -- Andorra's.

Referee Jesus Gil Manzano waited several minutes for the right anthem to be played at Stade de France before starting the game.

Then, when the correct anthem was about to be played there was another embarrassing incident as the stadium announcer apologized to "Armenia's fans" and called on fans to respect the "Armenia national anthem" before realizing his glaring mistake and saying Albania.

I had to double check that it wasnt a spoof news article.
