World Cup 2010: I Hope We Play England In The Final & Beat Them – France Star Patrice Evra

Evra wants to banish the blues of losing the EPL crown on the final day of the season by defeating the Three Lions in the World Cup final...

Manchester United’s Patrice Evra has revealed his disappointment at losing the Premier League title to Chelsea, whilst noting that the prospect of the forthcoming World Cup is keeping him in an upbeat state of mind

“The World Cup is the only thing that makes me keep smiling,” Evra told L’Equipe, considering the last day title disappointment the Red Devils suffered. “I will be with the team of France on May 15 and I will have had six days off. But I will give the best of myself, as I have done for Manchester United. I hope to win the World Cup. I hope we play England in the final and beat them, certainly!”

Evra has been named in a panel of 30 players who Raymond Domenech will run the rule over in the forthcoming days, yet it would take a massive surprise for the former Monaco player, who is currently France’s first choice left-back, to be omitted from the final squad of 23.

Meanwhile, Eric Abidal has told radio station RMC that there have been no dressing room fall-outs in the France squad, as rumours have previously suggested.
