Their history on home soil
Euro 1984, the 1998 World Cup, and Euro 2016. What do these three tournaments have in common? They were all hosted by France. What do the first two have in common? They were both won by France. Les Blues will be looking to make it a hat-trick on home soil by going all the way this year as well.
In fact, the only times France haven’t won a major tournament they hosted was the 1938 World Cup, and Euro 1960 (where only four teams participated). In the modern era, there is no other team quite like the French when it comes to feeding off the energy and enthusiasm of being the home-town heroes.
Simply put, the French are masters of winning titles at home, and they’ll want to keep the streak going at Euro 2016.
