Patrice Evra on France’s World Cup Warning

France enters the World Cup as a favorite with three squads worth of talent. But Patrice Evra has a warning for his former team: don’t be arrogant. The biggest enemy of France is France itself, Evra tells Front Office Sports.

Plus, he gives a scorching take on the AFCON controversy, arguing that the officials “don’t do their job.” He says the decision to strip Senegal of their title is the worst in all of sports.

Evra also describes what it’s like living in the Middle East amidst the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, and how the geopolitical climate could impact Iran’s participation in the World Cup this summer.
