Florent Malouda says France's friendly match against England will give les Bleus a chance to show how far they have come since the poor 2010 World Cup campaign.
The 1998 World Cup winners failed to get out of the group stage, and sent Chelsea team-mate Nicolas Anelka home after a bust-up with then-France boss Raymond Domenech.
"There are lots of games coming up in the Premier League but when you play England at Wembley, it is a big moment," Malouda told Association Press. "A good performance and good result will be good for our confidence and provide a reference point to show exactly where we are as a team.
