Yedlin is also on and the Newcastle man replaces Moore, the only man to be booked as of yet.
71'
Deschamps will be pleased to see his team keep going after a number of subs but they are still not at their best. They have lacked some spark in front of goal and this will unsettle the camp before the World Cup.

63'
Robinson has a rare chance to get forward and he wins a corner after seeing his cross take a touch off Sidibe.
61'
Never nice to see a clash of heads but it gives the subs a chance to make a name for themselves with just 30 minutes remaining.
Mbappe bursts onto a loose pass just outside the box but he sees his shot blocked by a lunging tackle from Carter-Vickers.
60'
E. Palmer-Brown enters the game and replaces M. Miazga.

44'
J. Green has scored a goal for United States!
Slight scare as France miss the ball but they clear at the second attempt.
GOAL USA 0-1!!! Unbelievable scenes as the visitors score with the their first shot of the match. France failed to clear a weak cross after Sidibe slipped and Green turns on a six pence and somehow squeezes the ball past Lloris at the near post.
43'
In a rare moment of positivity, USA win a corner and Trapp has gone across to take it.
42'
Griezmann shows signs of frustration as he picks the ball up on the right wing before cutting inside and shooting towards goal. He drags it wide and Steffen will ready himself for the goal kick.

40'
France win another corner...can they create something from this one?

35'
It remains 0-0 and that will come as a shock to the home fans in attendance. Both Wood and and Green have not had a touch all night!
33'
CHANCE - Two crosses from the home side come to nothing but Pogba finally makes something of the third. The Manchester United man reacted quickly on the edge of the box but his low shot was saved by Steffen.
31'
Another warning sign for the USA as they scramble to defend a cross but Kante takes his eye off the ball and the chance goes begging.
29'
Both Matuidi and Mendy are being given far too much space on the left wing and the USA need to do something about it before they fall behind.
27'
The corner was taken short and that played into the hands of the USA who cleared easily.
CHANCE - Mbappe again gets into a good position but Parker just does enough to steer Matuidi's cross away from danger.
26'
CHANCE - Mbappe works a one-two with Griezmann before unleashing a driven effort and Steffen is on hand to tip it over the crossbar.

Right on time, Griezmann beats the offisde trip and tries to float his shot into the far corner but it takes a deflection and he wins a corner.
20'
Griezmann continues to float into free space inside the first 20 minutes but the Atletico man has yet to have a shot on goal himself.
17'
A well-worked move releases Matuidi down the left and the former Paris Saint-Germain man nearly picks out Giroud. However, Steffen remains composed and collects the ball on the edge of his six-yard box.
14'
There has been a drop in tempo in the last three or four minutes and that has natrually suited the USA. However, Griezmann and Giroud continue to look sharp as they push for a starting spot.
12'
Still early days but the USA are struggling to keep up with the tempo at the moment.
10'
CHANCE - The Atletico Madrid man finds Giroud at the far post but he heads straight into the hands of Steffen - big chance for the targetman.
9'
Deschamps' men win a free kick after Mbappe is tripped on the touchline...Griezmann to take.
8'
Boos can be heard around the Groupama Stadium as Giroud goes down in the box and the Chelsea man is adamant Carter-Vickers was pulling his shirt. Nothing given and it remains 0-0.
7'
Pogba has had a rough time of late with the France fans but that shot will certainly get them more on side. Steffen was helpless and just a lick of paint has stopped France from taking the lead.
5'
CHANCE FRANCE! The home fans are on their feet as the ball rattles the post and it was Pogba who tried to find the top corner from a tight angle but it was not to be.
4'
Pogba gathers posession from the resulting set piece but his cross is cleared at the first attempt.
3'
Positive start from France as Meny wins a corner after a strong run into the box from the left wing.
2'
Interesting to see Deschamps use a 4-3-1-2 formation tonight with Griezmann playing behind two strikers. Many have tried to guess France's forward line for the World Cup and this could be a big hint as to what his plans are.

We are underway in Lyon after a little cameo appearance from Aime Jacquet. France in their traditional blue and white and the USA in all white this evening.
Didier Deschamps' side have been in good form of late, winning their last three in a row. They were last in action against Italy on June 1, with Deschamps' men eventually winning 3-1 on that occasion.
The United States will compete in their final friendly for three months as they failed to qualify for Russia but tonight is another chance to learn from one of Europe's best teams. Dave Sarachan's troops have won two of their last five heading into this contest.
Hello and welcome to tonight's live coverage of the international friendly between France and the USA. The game will take place at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon as Les Bleus prepare to play their final fixture before heading to the World Cup in Russia.
Tonight's TEAM NEWS coming up...
France Starting XI (4-3-1-2): Hugo Lloris (c), Djibril Sidibe, Raphael Varane, Samuel Umtiti, Benjamin Mendy, Paul Pogba, N'Golo Kante, Blaise Matuidi, Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappé, Olivier Giroud.
France SUBS: Presnel Kimpembe, Alphonse Areola, Ousmane Dembélé, Lucas Hernández, Steven N'Zonzi, Thomas Lemar, Florian Thauvin, Adil Rami, Corentin Tolisso, Benjamin Pavard, Steve Mandanda, Nabil Fekir.
USA Starting XI (5-3-2): Zack Steffen, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Matt Miazga, Tim Parker, Shaquell Moore, Antonee Robinson, Tyler Adams, Wil Trapp (c), Weston McKennie, Julian Green, Bobby Wood.
USA SUBS: Rubio Rubin, DeAndre Yedlin, Jorge Villafaña, Erik Palmer-Brown, Joe Corona, Timothy Weah, Eric Lichaj, Bill Hamid, Joshua Sargent.
The two teams have now completed their warm-ups and we are nearly ready to go in Lyon.
What a final minute of the half that was as the USA claim the lead with their only shot of the match so far. Green is the hero and the USA have taken the lead despite having just 35 per cent posession. France looked in control and should be at least one-nil up but it was not to be and there were a few boos at the interval.
Although they are leading, the USA really need to do more to win the ball and try and start some of their own attacks in the second 45 minutes. They are sitting deep and inviting France onto them. Expect plenty of changes as well of course, it is a friendly after all.
The referee ends proceedings and it is frustration for the home side in Lyon. They had 18 shots at goal tonight but they were far too sloppy. There is no doubt that the USA will feel like they got lucky tonight but they will learn from the experience.
That is all tonight folks, thanks for joining us once again. Goodbye!
France will now head to Russia ahead of their Group C campaign against Australia, Peru and Denmark. They will need to improve to live up to their pre-tournament hype. However, the USA will head home and start to plan for the next World Cup.
