 France
Two times UEFA European
Champions (1984 & 2000) and last FIFA World Cup Finalists, France
should always be viewed among the favourites to win the competition.
However, first of all, they should be able to qualify to the KO stage
from a really difficult group.
Manager Raymond
Domenech is in charge of "Les Bleus" for another one
competition with his witty tactical skills, although one of his major
tasks it to keep a balance between the personalities of his all-stars
squad, which includes top-formed footballers like Thierry Henry,
Patrice Evra, Claude Makelele & ofcourse Nicolas Anelka to name
just a few. Their objective? Only the Henri Delaunay Trophy!
