France are one of the favorites to win the UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany. After their devastating loss in the final of the Qatar 2022 World Cup against Lionel Messi and Argentina, they are looking for revenge.
Didier Deschamps has a roster full of stars such as Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele, Jules Kounde and the long awaited return of N’Golo Kante.
In their debut against Austria, France suffered more than expected, but still got a much needed 1-0 victory. However, Mbappe left that game with a broken nose and his status is uncertain for the rest of the tournament.
