Highlights from the Sweden-France Friendly

August 20th, 2008 | by: jeff | View Comments

Dastardly Henrik Larsson, I’m still bitter about his 2006 Champions League final cameo, opens the scoring:

France stars of the present and future, Sagna and Benzema, combine to equalize; Toulalan pulling the strings in midfield!

Sidney Govou with a goal? Malouda with an assist? And Toulalan the playmaker again. Are we changing that “Defensive” in front “Midfielder” to “Complete”? France supporters could get used to that very quickly. This one-touch football is too good to be true. Let’s have some of that in official matches, les gars, hein?

Gouvou with another goal? Qu’elle action avec Thierry Henry en suspension…merveilleux…oh, la, c’est joli, c’est joli, joli, joli.

Consolation penalty for Lyon’s Swedish midfielder Kim Kallstrom:

I’m in dreamland watching those France goals, goodness me.
