France put a bit of their troubles behind when they defeated Costa Rica 2-1 last Wednesday. Raymond Domenech might have won some respect following this win but the situation is still quite the same. Fans of Les Bleus aren’t satisfied about the team’s performances.
On Sunday night, they’ll have another test against the Carthage Eagles. The rivalry between these two sides is strong since Tunisia is a former French colony. The pressure that is expected to fill the atmosphere during the game will help France’s players to adjust with pressure management ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup where they’ve been grouped alongside the host nation.
France will resume their warm-up process with a friendly match against Asian side China before kicking off in South Africa with a battle against South America’s Uruguay. Concerning Tunisia, they are looking forward to bury their disappointment of missing out of the World Cup finals on the last day of the qualifiers with their mind set on the next Africa Cup of Nations tournament. Qualification for this event is reported to start on June 11 for the Carthage Eagles who will come up against Morocco on that day.
