Friendly with Uruguay Scheduled for November

Uruguay play fantastic football, they give Brazil and Argentina trouble all the time. Brazil got to the final of the Copa America (and won it) last summer only because they won a controversial penalty shootout in the semifinal v. Uruguay. And Uruguay were the better team. Disregard the ranking, they’re not a pushover. They have very talented players. And they did win the wc twice (once in Brazil in 1950, on a day that we Brazilians call our “national nightmare” — the shock resulted in the national team completely changing their kit colors from all white to green&yellow).

In terms of watching good attacking footballing with flair, Uruguay v. France is just as mouthwatering as France v. Brazil or France v. Argentina.

I’ll be looking forward to this one. France’s style has so much latino influence, and given how France have been free scoring as of late (and also free-conceding), it should be a fun game.
