France’s road to Euro 2008: Heavy weather

Les Bleus made surprisingly heavy weather of qualification from Group B and their margin of just two points over Scotland indicated just how close they came to not even taking part in Euro 2008. Ultimately a penultimate match-day win over Lithuania combined with a Scots defeat in Georgia saw the French past the challenge of Scotland, against whom they lost both home and away.

European Championship History: France

There has always been a tendency to think of France as major players on the continent although the truth is that their performances at major finals have done little to back that up until the past 10 years.

Key Player

France’s Main Man – Karim Benzema

Selecting a striker who is just 20 years old as France’s main man in their squad may seem a little hasty, but those who have seen Karim Benzema have been left in little doubt that he is one of Europe’s most exciting strikers in the making. After a terrific season with Lyon netting 20 goals in just 36 League matches, a strong Euro 2008 tournament could see him move onto one of Europe’s most prestigious sides.

France – Do the stars point the way?

After the disappointment of loosing in the final of the World Cup to Italy, France are back for another crack at a major tournament, attempting to reclaim the prize they win in 2000 but lost to Greece in 2004. Since that memorable two years between 1998 and 2000 when everything they seemed to touch turned to gold, French form has been inconsistent. As some of the old stars such as Zidane have retired, so fresh players have come through such as Ribery, Benzema and Nasri and the squad looks to have fresh new feel about it.
