France have given to the world the likes of Platini, Zidane, Fontaine, Kopa, Cantona and Pires, started to take the beautiful game a little more seriously.
Let's see who would be featured in their all-time XI, from 213,386 AFers' choices.
Goalkeeper
Hugo Lloris
Hugo Lloris got 61.6% of votes, beating 1998 World Cup winner Fabien Barthez.
Defenders
Patrice Evra/Laurent Blanc/Marcel Dessailly/Eric Abidal
Maybe a little surprised, Patrice Evra got the most votes and Lilian Thuram (10.5% of votes) failed to get a place. The four defenders are Patrice Evra, Eric Abidal, Laurent Blanc and Marcel Dessailly, they got 19.1%, 17.6%, 16.2% and 10.8% of votes respectively.
Midfielders
Zinedine Zidane/Patrick Vieira/Michel Platini
There's no doubt that Zinedine Zidane and Michel Platini will be in the squad. 33.4% of AFers picked the most important contributor Zidane, while the former UEFA president Platini is preferred by 19.7% of AFers.
Patrick Vieira beats Didier Deschamps with 18.4% of votes. He is a rare a defensive midfielder who just had it all.
Forwards
Thierry Henry/Just Fontaine/Antoine Griezmann
Probably the best forward to ever play in the Premier League, Henry was also phenomenal with his nation. He got 28.3% of votes. Antoine Griezmann and Just Fontaine came to the 2nd and 3rd, with 19.3% and 15.1% of votes. Besides, 19-year old Mbappe got 15.1% of votes, what a talent!
