Brazil vs. France Live Stream: When and Where to Catch Sunday's Friendly
France and Brazil meet in what should be an entertaining friendly on Sunday afternoon.
Both France and Brazil are looking to move past disasters at international tournaments. They have struggled to move on from older generations. This may be a meaningless friendly, but these countries will be fielding strong sides and looking to come out with a win.
The match is much more important for Brazil, as they don't have any qualification process for the World Cup. They receive an automatic bid as hosts of the tournament. Brazil has to use these friendlies to get into form for the World Cup.

Key Storyline to Watch: Will Brazil Play Up to Their Potential?
Brazil have had a less-than-stellar buildup to the 2014 World Cup, falling to No. 22 in FIFA's world standings. As Brazilian football commentator Jon Cotterill pointed out, it's arguably a nadir for the country:
With a spot in the event already locked up as hosts, Brazil don't have to partake in qualification. That can be a blessing and a curse, as the spot is already secured, but they don't have tough qualifying matches to help them prepare.
Instead, it's friendlies like this one where Luiz Felipe Scolari will try and determine his best side. With the World Cup still a year out, there's time for Big Phil to figure out Brazil's problems. He can't wait forever, though, and now would be a good time to start improving on the pitch.
The pressure on the Brazilians in the World Cup will be immense. Perhaps the home supporters will be expecting too much. This squad still has a wealth of talent, and it should be putting together much better results.
Brazil Player to Watch: Neymar
No Brazilian will be under the microscope more than Neymar. He's been one of the most talked-about players in the world. The hype surrounding him is more than any player of recent memory, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo included.
Thank goodness he's finally moved to Barcelona. Fans will no longer have to put up with the constant discussion of when and where Neymar will move after Santos.
The move couldn't come at a better time as well. Waiting until after the World Cup would have been a detriment to both Neymar and Brazil. While the Brazilian league is of a high quality, it was clear Neymar had done everything he could there.
Now he's going to be playing in one of the best leagues in the world for a year prior to the event.
Brazil are pretty much Neymar's team. Their successes and failures will follow the young winger his entire career. He needs to get them firing now before they go into the World Cup with no momentum and needing to fill the insatiable appetites of their countrymen.
France Player to Watch: Karim Benzema
Karim Benzema wasn't able to play in the friendly against Uruguay, but he may be available against Brazil.
That's good news for Didier Deschamps, as Olivier Giroud put in an average performance against Uruguay. Giroud has been good with his clubs, but that form hasn't totally translated to the national team. Getting back Benzema would be a huge boost for the French attack.
Benzema was both target man and playmaker for Madrid this season. He recorded 12 goals and 13 assists. While there was some questioning a year or two ago as to what his future at the club would be, he has since more than proved himself.
When healthy, Benzema is the best striker that France has to offer. With him on the pitch, they have a great chance of taking out Brazil.
