France vs. USA: Live Blog, Goals, Commentary from International Friendly

We'll be running a live blog for the United States' international friendly Friday against France. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. EST in Paris, and ESPN2 will have the American TV coverage.

The live blogging will start around 2:30 p.m., so grab a friend and go crazy in the comments section.

First, though, we'd like to send this open letter to US coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

Ahem…

Dear Klinsi,

Please don't play Michael Orozco Fiscal anymore.

Pretty please?

We know you love him. And we know you included him in your roster.

Again.

We don't understand why you would do something like that.

We know you want to experiment with new players, but the kid stinks.

But please just stop playing him.

Sincerely,

Every soccer fan in America.

Goals:

Loic Remy (France)—72'
