Benzema on the challenges of playing for France post WC
Really saying it like it is now...
"We (France NT) are unbeaten in the qualification games and have won important others... but when we beat Brazil, they say it's the B team as an excuse, England was the C team, then there's the x team (laughs). But we've been unbeaten over the last 14 or 15 games... and still, even in the Stade de France, you sometime feel like you're playing an away fixture. There's no atmosphere there... and if at times things are a little difficult, the crowd immediately goes into a weird mood. Basically, if i score, I'm French... and if i don't score or there are problems, I'm Arab. What the heck does that mean? My parents are french and were born in France. And, yes, i have Algerian blood. That's it."

Ah, the fickleness of fans. Isn't the first time, won't be last time.
Can't wait for the friendly on Friday, for sure.
