With rare exceptions (Henry, Florent Malouda, Ribery), we don't tend to be big French soccer fans, look no further than their fiasco in the 2010 World Cup for some reasons why.
However, Arsenal's Samir Nasri is quickly earning our love with his stellar play this season for the Gunners in the EPL and Champions League.
For his work this season, he was voted France's best player of the year by France Football Magazine.
Nasri wasn't involved in France's World Cup fiasco. Then-coach Raymond Domenech left the midfielder out of the squad that crashed out in the first round in South Africa.
New France coach Laurent Blanc recently said Nasri - who finished ahead of Chelsea winger Florent Malouda and Lyon goalkeeper Hugo Lloris in the voting - is currently the best French player.
The 23-year-old Nasri has already scored 10 goals in the Premier League and Champions League this season for Arsenal.
If France is going to region its top form with the national team, odds are Nasri will play a vital role in that turnaround.
