Antoine Griezmann Finally Arrives at Euro 2016 as France Edge Ireland

France are into the quarter-finals of the 2016 UEFA European Championship after a second-half recovery saw them past the 10 men of the Republic of Ireland 2-1 at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon on Sunday. Robbie Brady’s penalty inside of the opening two minutes put Martin O’Neill’s men in front, and that lead lasted until half-time. However, the hosts woke up for the second 45 and... 

France Boss Didier Deschamps Must Start Star Man Dimitri Payet vs. Ireland

France and the Republic of Ireland meet at Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday with a place in the 2016 UEFA European Championship quarter-finals at stake.

France Top Group a with Swiss Draw but Didier Deschamps Still Lacks Strongest XI

Hosts France moved into the latter stages of the 2016 UEFA European Championship as the winners of Group A after a dull 0-0 draw with Switzerland at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille on Sunday. Didier Deschamps’ men enjoyed a good spell of dominance in the first half but were unable to take their chances, and the second half quickly petered out for both sides. As a result, Les Bleus will face a... 

France Boss Didier Deschamps Must Drop Patrice Evra and Blaise Matuidi vs. Swiss

Hosts France have made a solid, if unspectacular, start to the 2016 UEFA European Championship, and Didier Deschamps’ men will close out Group A against Switzerland at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille on Sunday. While boasting six points from a possible six is obviously a big plus, the truth is that Les Bleus are yet to really impress on home soil this summer. Now that the pressure is off and a place... 

Pressure off for Euro Hosts France After an Unconvincing but Winning Start

Hosts France are the only team at the 2016 UEFA European Championship to have won two matches so far. With six points, four goals scored and only one conceded, things are going well—on paper at least—for Didier Deschamps’ men.

Griezmann and Pogba Prove Point to Deschamps as France Late Show Downs Albania

Hosts France became the first team to reach the latter stages of the 2016 UEFA European Championship, but Didier Deschamps’ men left it late to see off a resilient Albania side 2-0 at Stade Velodrome on Wednesday. The big talking point pre-match was the fact that the 47-year-old tactician left Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann and Juventus’ Paul Pogba out of his starting XI, and... 

Deschamps Must Relieve Pressure on Pogba and Griezmann When France Face Albania

France are back in 2016 UEFA European Championship action on Wednesday when they meet Albania at Marseille’s Stade Velodrome for the second round of fixtures in Group A.

France Must Be Wary of Switzerland’s Set-Piece Prowess

Having secured their first win of the 2016 UEFA European Championship at the first time of asking, beating Romania 2-1 at Stade de France in the opening match of the tournament, France’s attention will now turn towards remaining Group A opponents Albania and Switzerland. After watching the Swiss beat the Albanians 1-0 in Lens on Saturday, Didier Deschamps and his players no doubt fear La Nati... 

Dimitri Payet’s Romania Stunner Boosts France’s Confidence in Opening Euro Win

France got their 2016 UEFA European Championship campaign off to a winning start with a 2-1 victory over Romania at Stade de France on Friday.

Just...

France kick off the 2016 UEFA European Championship against Romania at Stade de France, Paris, on Friday, and Didier Deschamps’ men will be expected to make a fast start against the Tricolorii.
