Naturally, I was taking the piss, but thinking back, for a ‘friendly’ tournament, whilst I obviously accept it didn't carry prestige, Le Tournoi was actually pretty good and I'd suggest 'heavyweight'.
You used to get those sort of things back then (I remember an American equivalent pre 94 with us, them, Brazil and Germany). Didn’t we have some sort of mini tournament in 1995 too? These warm up tournaments seem to have been made obsolete by the Confederations Cup.
Anyway, we had some good games in Le Tournoi:
Beat Italy 2-0
Beat France 1-0
Lost to Brazil 1-0.
Plus, you had that free kick: Brazil v France.
I remember being in Bass House and everyone in there literally* just shat their pants as it went in
