I think resting players is more important and as other have noted our '2nd's' should still be beating this France team (unless they do a France). Anyone who we need later on and is a marginal call should be sitting this one out. We are lucky its been a cakewalk so far when we were expecting 5 tough games in a row (if we make the final). There's an argument of going into the knockouts undercooked and that's fair.
Honestly I don't expect France in their current state to give us a proper game anyway. They might be a tad better in that they won't handicap themselves like Argentina did.
