I recall them going home in utter stunned defeat at one of those. (or was it retreat? ha)

they had issues with Domenech as a coach (and some of the players during the 2010 WC), he is gone now... The new coach (Laurent Blanc, was a WC 98 player when we won it) has done great work with the team and got raid of all the trouble makers.
If you look at the Roster, check out the team in which they play season long, that will give you a good idea on how good the squad is... only problem we do currently have is that the team is pretty young and our defense is not THAT great...

We won the Euro Cup twice, in 1984 and 2000
