Big Game in Paris tomorrow

France vs Brazil.  Sure it is only an exhibition game but when two world soccer powers play each other, it is always special.  France is slowly trying to climb the world rankings after a disastrous World Cup in 2010 and has won its last four games including away to England in November.

As of now, Les Bleus are ranked 19th behind the US, Japan and Chile.  That would have been unthinkable a year ago but alas it is what it is.

A win will give Les Bleus confidence prior to Euro 2012 qualifying game in March against Luxembourg (although let's face it that is pretty much a gimme).

Laurent Blanc is rebuilding the team and it is far better than it was a year ago at this time when it lost to eventual World Cup champion Spain 2-0 in Paris.

Vas y Les Bleus.
