In the wake of Karim Benzema’s omission from the squad by Didier Deschamps for an alleged sex-tape blackmail scandal involving Mathieu Valbuena, many have waded into the debate including Eric Cantona, Prime Minister Manuel Valls and Noel Le Graet, president of the French Football Federation.

The bin strike also affects Marseille and Saint-Étienne, two of the 10 cities that will play host to games during Euro 2016. Luckily for them though they are in a pool with Switzerland and Albania and should have a great shot at being runners up or even qualify as a third place wild card.

“I expect France to begin the match in an aggressive fashion”.

We kick off match-day one tomorrow with France v Romania at Stade de France!

France, winners in 1984 and 2000, will carry the hopes of a nation still coming to terms with last year’s militant attacks.

“Obviously you’d like to think you’ll get protection but all referees are different. If you ask my teammates, they’d say the same”, he said.

A new wave of strikes is disrupting trash collection in Paris with only two days to go until the European Championship soccer tournament, a sporting event predicted to draw 2.5 million spectators.

Hart has played in three big tournaments for England so far but has never progressed beyond the quarter-finals. “But we’re ready, despite the pressure”.

Based in the UK, Larry is passionate about all things news and technology related.

Hart said England had no excuse if they failed to live up to expectations at Euro 2016 as they have been given all the necessary resources to excel in France.

The 29-year-old Lloris, one of the Premier League’s best goalkeepers for Tottenham, stands to win his 76th cap. “There’s a good bond right the way through”.

England begin their campaign on Saturday against Russian Federation at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille, before travelling to Lens to face Wales five days later and they then come up against Slovakia in Saint-Etienne on June 20.
