World Cup hopeful France salvaged a late 1-1 draw against the United States in their final friendly before the tournament, while fellow title favourite Spain also needed a late goal as they edged past Tunisia 1-0 Saturday.
Elsewhere, there were wins for finalists Serbia, Denmark, Morocco and Australia, while Sweden were held to a goalless draw by Peru.
Didier Deschamps named a strong side as he sought to put the finishing touch to his preparation before travelling to Russia. However, Julian Green took advantage of a Djibril Sidibe slip to fire a near-post effort past Hugo Lloris on the stroke of halftime to give the visitor a shock lead.

It looked like being a frustrating night for 2010 champion Spain as well as they struggled to break down a Tunisia side who caused them difficulties on the counter attack.
