‘It’s unbelievable energy’: Soccer fans can’t wait for Brazil/France game Thursday in Foxborough
Two of the best football nations in the world will play in a friendly Thursday afternoon at Gillette Stadium. Brazil and France will face off in a match that could help each team decide on their final rosters to bring for the World Cup this summer. France is ranked third in the latest FIFA rankings while Brazil is fifth.
Soccer fans at the Banshee in Dorchester are excited to see two heavyweights battle it out in Foxborough. “Two of the most talented international teams in the world are coming to Gillette,” Scotland supporter Aaron Free said. “So many good players on either side.
I will be watching it for sure. It’s just a friendly, but it’s a good introduction to what it’s going to be like in June and July. I think the whole town will be buzzing.
” The game is a warm-up for the World Cup. Final rosters will be decided in May. Both nations are bringing stacked rosters for the match on Thursday, even though the game doesn’t matter for standings or points for the World Cup.
“I’m really excited to see Mbappe play and some other big names. Although it’s a friendly, it’s still really cool to see their full rosters play just months before the World Cup kicks off,” Brian Gallagher said. Gallagher bought tickets to the Brazil/France games months ago.
