Les Bleus will face China in St Etienne for their last preparation for the WC.

Will Ribery start? Will Henry continue his great form for France and become the new leader for the team? Will Zidane find his old form just in time for Germany?

Stay tuned for the answers to these questions and more as the culinary superpower of the world faces off against the nation that mastered the art of breeding!

i have the feeling that domenech will give coupet the start - which is frankly is useless move, considering it's china.

dun think so.I think this is the game were hes using his best 11 in wc on jun 13th.So barthez is starting.But as much as I want ribery to start, I think he isn't going to start.Vieria has to play .Which sucks.

What I fear the most is their defensive tactic.

Let's hope that we avoid injuries in this last friendly. Look at what happened to the Netherlands, they went to play Australia in a friendly and came out with 3 injuries!

Well, Australians are well-known wolrdwide for their fighting spirit. After all, they have a boxing kanguru as mascot.

More seriously speaking, China might play dirty, but they won't play the World Cup so they have absolutely no interest to "destroy" a team. If anything gets dirty, I hope Domenech will be enough cautious to put substitutes on the field in order to preserve at least key players.

If thats true then im happy.In all honesty , I hope saha playswith henry.Whats important is the team.I like trez , but I like france more and I think saha henry is better link up.

I can't believe what I'm reading here. Trezeguet is an excellent player and is truly capable of putting the ball in the net. This is lunacy if he doesn't start.
