The Return of Evra and Ribéry

In the quaint Luxembourg stadium on Friday, in front of a hopeful banner that read "Lux 4, Fra 0," the pitch welcomed Patrice Evra and Franck Ribéry back from their period of post-World Cup exile. The game itself was, to put it politely, not the most thrilling of match-ups France is lucky to be in European Cup qualifying group with some of Europe's cutest nations, Luxembourg and the Faroe Islands but the mild victory by France further solidified it's march towards the 2012 European Cup, and more importantly registered as the end of one thing and, hopefully, the beginning of another.
