Don't write France off yet

The best way to know if things are going well for the French national team is pretty easy -- just look at Patrice Evra.

If he doesn't talk to journalists after a game, it means that things are good. If he does talk, then he needs to get something off his chest.

"I only speak when things are bad," he revealed on Saturday evening following France's 1-0 defeat to Albania, who are 51st in FIFA's rankings.

After losing 4-3 to Belgium at home a week earlier, Les Bleus were defeated by Albania for the first time in their history.
