The defending World Cup champions enter this tournament seeking European redemption. They lost to Portugal in the 2016 Euro finals and finished as the runners-up of the tournament.
France were denied a rematch against Portugal in the 2018 World Cup, with Portugal being bounced by Uruguay in the first round.
But France were equally satisfied taking home the World Cup and are coming into this tournament with the same ambitions. They have a world-class team and their manager will enjoy having multiple options to play, along with the luxury of resting his key players.

France Euro Squad & Manager
Manager: Didier Deschamps
Goalkeepers: Hugo Lloris, Mike Maignan, Steve Mandanda
Defense: Lucas Digne, Léo Dubois, Lucas Hernández, Presnel Kimpembe, Jules Koundé, Clément Lenglet, Benjamin Pavard, Raphaël Varane, Kurt Zouma
Midfield: Kingsley Coman, N’Golo Kante, Thomas Lemar, Paul Pogba, Adrien Rabiot, Moussa Sissoko, Corentin Tolisso
Forwards: Wissam Ben Yedder, Karim Benzema, Ousmane Dembélé, Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe, Marcus Thuram
France isn’t concerned with qualifying for the World Cup. This is why Didier Deschamps used the latest international break to experiment with different formations and give some of his players an opportunity to prove themselves.
Deschamps’ record as France manager:
| Team | From | To | Pld | W | D | L | W% |
| France | July 2012 | Present | 112 | 74 | 20 | 18 | 66,07 |
One of the players that made a case for a Euros spot this summer was Ousmane Dembele. He showed his versatile skill set and a positive attitude to go along with it. The question remains for Deschamps whether he wants to play a more defensive style with Rabiot, or a more attacking game with Coman or Dembele.
Karim Benzema will be making his return to the national team after a 6-year pause. His return will be a comforting presence for France’s forward line. He has had an excellent season in Real Madrid and his offensive potency will relieve some of the defensive pressure from Kylian Mbappe.
Deschamps has more than enough players to choose from. This team knows that they are capable of flipping the switch at any time and dominating almost all of their opponents.
Not many teams can take pride in having three excellent goalkeepers along with a world-class defense. Although Spurs are having a difficult time lately, Hugo Lloris is still a quality goalkeeper with lots of experience at the highest level.
The time for experimenting is over and Deschamps will have to have a clear vision of what he wants to do come matchday. He has a world-class team with an abundance of quality on all positions and it’s evident why they are favorites next to England to take the tournament.
