France have such a great team with Lloris, Varane, Clichy, Koscielny, Evra, Nasri, Pogba, Ribery, Valbuena, Giroud Benzema etc. It's just staggering that they haven't been able to pull it together to at least field a decent team over the last few years (although in fairness their qualifying group this year was pretty tough). Apparently Le parisien conducted a poll over the weekend that had 84% of French citizens not even identifying as fans of the national team anymore...yikes.
