Should the “useless” Karim Benzema spearhead the French attack against Spain?
Perhaps one of the most asked questions among Les Bleus faithful is that what is wrong with Karim Benzema? The last time the striker scored for his national team was back on the fifth of June, 2012 in an international friendly win over Estonia. Since then, the Real Madrid man has failed to find the back of the net for Les Bleus. Another alarming stat is that out of the 15 goals he has scored for France only seven of those goals have come in competitive games.
France vs Spain: Five key battles that will decide the tie
Here, we look at some key encounters that can be expected to dictate the game over the course of 90 minutes.
Nacho Monreal vs Mathieu Debuchy
France vs Spain Preview
France have a glorious opportunity to move within touching distance of qualification for the 2014 World Cup when they entertain world and European champions Spain at the Stade de France on Tuesday.
Les Bleus currently lead Group I with 10 points from four games, two points ahead of second-placed Spain, with 8 points. If the 1998 world champions inflict a defeat…
Spain vs Finland Preview
On the brink of his 100th appearance for Spain, Sergio Ramos would love to welcome that milestone with a victory over Finland on Friday. The Real Madrid defender could and most likely will become the eighth Spanish player to reach 100 appearances for Spain, and he would also become the youngest player to reach 100 caps, beating out Germany's Lukas Podolski by 21 days.
Vicente Del Bosque's side is first in their group, even with France on seven points from three matches. The only points both sides dropped was against each other in a 1-1 draw.
Currently enjoying an 18 match unbeaten run which stretches back to November of 2011, Spain should be able to add another victory to that remarkable streak on Friday against a Finland side that will struggle to keep the European Champions at bay.
Barcelona and Real Madrid in injury fears ahead of World Cup qualifiers
Puyol has already been ruled out of these World Cup qualifiers. The Barcelona defender will take several weeks to recover from his knee injury according to doctors. Blaugrana team mate Xavi is also not fit. However, he has been called up by Spain coach Vicente del Bosque.Following this controversial action, concerned Spanish supporters have taken to Marca to voice out their frustration. On Monday, a poll conducted by the news source revealed that 72 per cent of fans who voted are against Xavi’s inclusion for La Furia Roja’s World Cup qualifiers against Finland on Friday and France on Tuesday.
The outcome of this poll coincides with the view of FC Barcelona doctor Ricard Pruna who told the press last weekend:
Varane and Pogba earn France call-up to face Spain and Georgia
Varane has now established himself as an important first team player in a highly competitive Real Madrid side, and has won a lot of praise from the football world after excellent displays against Manchester United and Barcelona. His handling of Lionel Messi was specifically remarkable and he marshalled the defence in the tie against Manchester United giving Van Persie no room to operate. The Real Madrid youngster is yet to earn his first cap for the French side, having received a call up on two previous occasions.
FIFA World Rankings: Updated FIFA Rankings. Who leads the chasing pack?

Spain, the world and European champions come into the fixture as the favourites, not only due to the number of titles won in recent years, but also because they are unbeaten in their last 17 games, including recent victories…

2012 FIFA Men's Coach of the Year - Bet: Pep, Mourinho or Del Bosque?
The three nominees
Pep Guardiola – He put an end to his four-year spell as senior team manager by winning his 14th trophy out of a possible 19. That was on May 25 when he guided Barcelona to 2011/12 Copa del Rey success.
Jose Mourinho – He had his long-awaited revenge on Pep Guardiola by snatching the Spanish La Liga title from Barcelona’s hands. The knockout match was on April 21 when Mourinho's side triumphed in El Clasico at the Camp Nou. The ‘Only One’ sealed a memorable campaign by leading Real Madrid to an historic 100-point tally.
Vicente del Bosque – He silenced his critics in a very quiet way. After cruising through the 2012 European Championship qualifiers somewhat unchallenged, the experienced manager aimed at defending Spain’s crown in Poland and Ukraine.

Spain’s La Liga Matchday 9 - Soccer TV listings printable guide
The smooth adventure continues for Barcelona who dramatically claimed victory in Europe on Tuesday. The Catalans left it very late against Celtic and are now brimming with confidence ahead of this weekend’s clash away to Rayo Vallecano.
In their last fixture, against Deportivo La Coruna, Barcelona’s defensive weakness was totally exposed but the priceless input of Lionel Messi ensured a 5-4 victory. Tito Vilanova’s men may be much more cautious on Saturday as they possess the opportunity of creating a temporary 11-point gap over La Liga champions Real Madrid.
As for Los Blancos, they could not overcome their German soil curse in midweek. For the 23rd time in 24 matches in Germany, the Spanish giants failed to win. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s sublime strike, Real Madrid left Borussia Dortmund with a 2-1 defeat in the bag.
Until the UEFA Champions League campaign resumes in early November, Jose Mourinho will try to get his team focused on the Spanish Primera Division. They will play in Mallorca on Sunday with the aim of clinching their fifth win in nine league games.
Another interesting match on Sunday is Atletico Madrid vs Osasuna. The hosts currently have 22 points like Barcelona whereas Osasuna occupy the very bottom of the table.
