5 top friendlies to watch out for during the international break

#1 France vs Germany

The very talented French team are yet to fully convince despite the abundance of talent

As we gear up for the World Cup next year, this particular fixture between two tournament favourites is sure to leave fans intrigued.

France and Germany may take each other on in a high profile match of a much higher intensity during the World Cup, but fans will be able to get a peek into how that match might play out in a few days' time.

They are two of the best teams going to the tournament in terms of squad depth. Both nations can field at least 3 teams of incredibly gifted players, who can, on their day, beat several other national teams.

Such depth in two different, competing squads is rare, let alone in squads that are competing to win the biggest trophy the game has to offer.

France were very inconsistent during the qualifying campaign, with their best performance a 4-0 win against the Netherlands. With the likes of Griezmann, Mbappe, Dembele (currently injured) and Kingsley Coman, France is an absolute nightmare to face.

However, the Germans will back themselves not only to keep the French attack at bay but also create attacks of their own, courtesy of their seemingly unlimited resources.

With so much quality on the pitch and on the bench, this mouthwatering contest wfeatures two teams determined to prove that their best is yet to come, and is easily the best this international break has to offer.
