Previous meetings • Four of the sides' last five competitive games have ended in draws, the exception a 2-0 win for Laurent Blanc's France at the Stade de France in UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying. Loïc Rémy opened the scoring in that October 2010 match. • Romania drew 1-1 in their only previous game against France in Saint-Denis, a FIFA World Cup qualifier in September 2009. • Didier Deschamps was in the France midfield and Anghel Iordănescu was in his first spell as Romania coach when the teams first met in a EURO '96 finals game in Newcastle on 10 June 1996 – 20 years to the day before their UEFA EURO 2016 meeting. Christophe Dugarry's goal earned France a 1-0 win. • That was Deschamps' second game against Iordănescu's Romania; the other game was a 3-1 away win in EURO '96 qualifying. • Iordănescu's record in four games against France is W0 D1 L3. • The sides met in the first match of Romania's most recent final tournament, Raymond Domenech's France held 0-0 by Victor Piţurcă's Romania at UEFA EURO 2008. • The teams in Zurich on 9 June 2008 were: Romania: Lobonţ, Contra, Raţ, Tamaş, Chivu, Rădoi (Dică 90+3), Cociş (Codrea 64), Goian, Nicoliţă, D Niculae, Mutu (M Niculae 78). France: Coupet, Thuram, Sagnol, Abidal, Gallas, Makelele, Toulalan, Ribéry, Malouda, Anelka (Gomis 72), Benzema (Nasri 78). • France and Romania met in the inaugural match at Bucharest's National Arena – a 0-0 draw in UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying on 6 September 2011. EURO facts – France • France have won one and lost one of their previous opening games as EURO hosts. They beat Denmark 1-0 at Parc des Princes in 1984 en route to winning the title, having lost 5-4 to eventual runners-up Yugoslavia at the Parc des Princes in the 1960 semi-finals. • France won their first matches as World Cup hosts in 1938 and 1998 (3-1 against Belgium and 3-0 against South Africa respectively), going on to lift the trophy in 1998. • The hosts' 17 opening games at EUROs have ended W5 D6 L6; Italy's 0-0 draw against the Soviet Union in 1968, won on the toss of a coin, is classed as a draw. • France are one of only three sides to have won a EURO as hosts, along with Spain (1964) and Italy (1968). • France's competitive record at the Stade de France reads W21 D8 L3. The defeats came against Spain (0-1, 2013), Belarus (0-1, 2010) and Russia (2-3, 1999). EURO facts – Romania • Romania have never featured in the opening game of a final tournament. • Two teams have beaten the hosts in their opening game and won a EURO: Greece in 2004 (2-1 v Portugal) and West Germany in 1972 (2-1 v Belgium). • Romania are yet to start a EURO with a win; they lost their EURO '96 opener 1-0 to France, and drew 1-1 with Germany at UEFA EURO 2000 and 0-0 with France at UEFA EURO 2008. • Under Iordănescu, Romania qualified for the last major tournament in France – the 1998 World Cup – and breezed through the group stage unbeaten before bowing out with a 1-0 loss to Croatia in Bordeaux. • Romania failed to win at their most recent final tournament, UEFA EURO 2008 (D2 L1), scoring only once. They have not won in four finals games (D2 L2) since a 3-2 victory against England in Charleroi at UEFA EURO 2000. Coach and player links • Have played together: Hugo Lloris (France) and Vlad Chiricheş (Romania) – Tottenham Hotspur, 2013–15 Eliaquim Mangala (France) and Cristian Săpunaru (Romania) – Porto, 2011/12 Claudiu Keşerü (Romania) and Dimitri Payet (France) – Nantes, 2005–07 Claudiu Keşerü (Romania) and Olivier Giroud (France) – Tours, 2008/09 3 France - Romania Friday 10 June 2016 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Stade de France, Saint-Denis • Keşerü played in France from 2003 to 2013, representing Nantes, Libourne, Tours, Angers and Bastia. • Romania centre-back Dragoş Grigore has been on the books at French side Toulouse since 2014, but spent this season out on loan at al-Sailiya in Qatar. • Romania's assistant coach Viorel Moldovan was a Ligue 1 winner with Nantes in 2001, a year after he had helped the club claim the French Cup. 4 France - Romania Friday 10 June 2016 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Stade de France, Saint-Denis Squad list France Current season Overall Qual.

Pour 2017, RMC poursuit sa quête d’originalité et fidèle à son format, elle repousse toujours plus loin sa volonté d’apporter au paysage audiovisuel quelque chose de neuf, de différent, d’exclusif. A l’évidence, RMC tient ce cap et renouvelle les formules qui ont fait son succès dans l’information, le talk et le sport. Si l’information est aujourd’hui partout, en parler, échanger, confronter les opinions est devenu le meilleur territoire d’expression de RMC. Cette différence maitrisée, est à nouveau au service d’un grand débat démocratique qui va nous occuper toute la saison. Les développements technologiques repoussent les limites du possible et RMC profite de toutes ces opportunités pour rayonner en digital et aussi en télévision où désormais quatre chaines reprennent ses programmes. La radio bouge, se transforme, s’adapte et dans ces mutations, RMC joue ici un rôle fondamental, fondateur et à défaut de pouvoir en calculer son audience globale, il est devenu préférable d’en évaluer son influence.

  • Marcelo Bielsa Y La Epopeya Marsellesa: Un Balance Factual
    Marcelo Bielsa y la epopeya marsellesa: un balance factual By Salim Lamrani Global Research, June 14, 2016 Técnico del Olympique de Marsella durante la temporada 2014-2015, Marcelo Bielsa obsequió al campeonato de Francia el fútbol más bello de los últimos veinte años. Marcelo Bielsa sólo se quedó un año a la cabeza del Olympique de Marsella (OM) pero marcó para siempre la historia del club. La proeza es aún más notable dado que no consiguió ningún título, contentándose con clasificar al equipo para la Liga Europa obteniendo el cuarto lugar al cabo del campeonato. No obstante el rosarino logró la unanimidad entre los hinchas del club más popular de Francia, quienes se identificaron con el estilo de juego propuesto y la personalidad del carismático entrenador argentino. Llegada a Marsella La llegada de Marcelo Bielsa a la cabeza del Olympique de Marsella tardó en concretarse. Erudito del fútbol, analista fino, perfeccionista hasta la obsesión, minucioso en los menores detalles, intransigente con los principios, trabajador incansable, el entrenador argentino deseaba tomar en cuenta todos los parámetros del club así como el potencial de los jugadores antes de dar su respuesta. Así, visionó varias veces todos los partidos del Marsella de las dos temporadas anteriores haciendo fichas técnicas de cada jugador. También asistió a varios partidos antes de dar su acuerdo definitivo. La ciudad de Marsella sedujo a Marcelo Bielsa. Apreció particularmente el estadio Vélodrome: “Uno de los motivos por los cuales vine a trabajar aquí era para ver lleno, por lo menos una vez, el estadio Vélodrome. Es uno de los espectáculos más hermosos que pueda ofrecer el deporte.[1] […] Es un estadio único, muy bello.

  • 031129 156 UEFA Jubilee
    Media Release Date: 29/11/2003 Communiqué aux médias No. 156 Medien-Mitteilung UEFA officially launches its Golden Jubilee Year European Football Union to celebrate its 50 year anniversary on 15 June 2004 UEFA today officially launched its Jubilee Year within the framework of the Final Draw for UEFA EURO 2004™. UEFA was founded at a meeting in Basle, Switzerland, on 15 June 1954, during the 1954 World Cup. Delegates representing 30 countries attended that meeting in the Hotel Euler. Shortly afterwards, Ebbe Schwartz of Denmark was named UEFA’s first president. Just one year later, the new UEFA fulfilled one of its most urgent priorities by introducing the European Champion Clubs’ Cup (the first five editions of which were won by Real Madrid), thanks largely to journalists from the L’Equipe newspaper. Another objective was met when the first edition of the European Championship was held in 1960. UEFA’s destiny in the decades since then has been largely mirrored by the evolution of these and other competitions. This story, through the subsequent presidencies of Gustav Wiederkehr (Switzerland), Artemio Franchi (Italy), Jacques Georges (France) and Lennart Johansson (Sweden), is traced in a new book to be published on the occasion of the Jubilee UEFA Congress in Cyprus in April 2004. The commemorative books are one of many special Jubilee activities planned during the year 2004. UEFA’s exact 50th birthday, on 15 June, will fall during UEFA EURO 2004TM in Portugal, and will be marked accordingly. To mark UEFA’s Golden Jubilee, each of the 52 member associations has been invited to nominate its most outstanding player of the past 50 years.
