The Bleus year ends with a final disappointment

In five years, in ten years, which will be recalled from France - Uruguay? This confrontation is not friendly to those engrave in stone. Admit it, the Blues last night failed to trace deeper than this tie (0-0). What they showed was no real interest, particularly during an insipid first period.
How to travel internationally with a background as light? The question is asked. That's the negative side. For the positive, it will highlight the exemplary attitude of the public, quick to observe the "Marseillaise" and support his team.
