France to host Argentina
Reuters, Paris
France will meet Argentina in a rare international between the two sides at the Stade de France on Feb.7, the French FA announced on Friday. They will also play each other in a second friendly "somewhere in Europe but outside France" by 2009, the French FA confirmed. The two countries, who between them have appeared in five of the last eight World Cup finals, have only met eight times since their first meeting in the inaugural World Cup in 1930. Argentina have won four times and three matches have been drawn. France's only success came in a 2-0 win in a friendly in Paris in May 1986 -- the last time they met.
