Monday, 9th June, the French National Team will open their Euro 2008 campaign against dark-horse team Romania. These teams are in the “Group of Death” (which also includes current World Cup Champions Italy, and the Netherlands).

The map also shows the 10 largest cities in France (all with over 200,000 population), plus Lille, which has a large metro-area population {click here, for the full list of largest French cities (of over 100,000 population), from the Mongabay site}.
Thanks to the UEFA site, for the French National Team kits {click here, for the Teams page}.
The France Romania match had to be the most boring in the history of the game. I wish I had a map back to yesterday so I could tell myself not to waste two hours of my life watching it!
A: It was a stultifying affair, but then the Italy v. Netherlands match was a very enjoyable game to watch.
