Brazil vs France Football Match will be played on 9 June 2013 at Arena do Grêmio - Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. for an International Friendly. V. Carrillo will be the match referee.
 For Brazil the match against France is the last test before they start to the Confed Cup on the 15th of June against Japan. Last Sunday they already played England in the Maracana stadium. In that match they displayed attacking football, created goal scoring opportunities, but squandered several of them in the first half. At the end they even had to be happy with a 2:2 draw then. Coach Felipe Scolari has already said that he won't make any major changes in his side in the match against France. Brazil had lost the first game under Scolari in February 1:2 in England, played 1:1 against Russia in London afterwards and at least beat Bolivia 4:0 without the European players before only drew 2:2 at home against Chile. 
In France they hope that they will come back to Brazil for the World Cup next year, but to do so they will most probably go through the play-offs, as they are only second in the qualifying group behind Spain.
Their most recent win was from Georgia for a 3-1 score at home. They played a bad game against Uruguay  recently, and the result was 1-0 loss away.

 Possible line-ups:
 Brazil: (Luiz Felipe Scolari)Júlio César; Dani Alves, Dante, Thiago Silva, Filipe Luis; Luiz Gustavo, Paulinho - Hulk, Oscar, Neymar ; Fred .
France: (Didier Deschamps )Mandanda; Sagna, Koscielny, Mangala, Trémoulinas; Matuidi, Capoue - Payet, Valbuena, Benzema ; Giroud .
