		Going in, Armstrong was the favorite to win his sixth consective Tour de France, with his major competitors seen as being German Jan Ullrich, Spaniards Roberto Heras and Iban Mayo, and fellow Americans Levi Leipheimer and Tyler Hamilton.

	BBC SPORT \| Football \| Euro 2004 \| France 0-1 Greece
		France came out with more verve in the second period and threatened with a host of chances, notably a late Thierry Henry header, but Greece held firm.
		France were struggling to establish any rhythm and it was Greece who went close again on 15 minutes when Costas Katsouranis' stabbed shot from a Giorgos Karagounis free-kick hit the left post and was smothered right on the line by Barthez.
		As the half developed, France became more threatening and Greece were lucky to survive a spell that saw a dangerous run from Bixente Lizarazu and near misses from William Gallas and Henry.

	Giving France les blues
		On paper France really does make other teams look second-rate, and their hunger will ensure that it is reflected on the pitch, too.
		However a strong core falls far short, as the third ingredient in the construction of France’s nemesis is the presence of world-class, match-winning players, and that is why we can rule out all but England.
		England would not need France to slide as they have the players to win any game, no matter how well the opposition is playing.

		The description of our trip to France is somewhat more detailed since we visited a new region (the Loire Valley and Normandy).
		That seemed like a lot of money to me, but given that France is in the EU and has converted to Euros, I thought that just like Ireland, all the prices had doubled or tripled.
		Chris and I probably thought the single biggest highlight of the trip was the Bayeux Tapestry since we have spent so much time in England and it's interesting to see the major changes that occurred as a result of William the Conqueror.

		France’s unique system for examining and selecting elite public servants — the Ecole Nationale d’Administration — is trying to reinvent itself for an age where globalisation is challenging the country’s political and social model, finds Patrice de Beer.
		Ena was created under General De Gaulle in 1945 to rebuild a public service decimated by the second world war and collaboration with the Nazis.
		If it helps French firms to recruit non-French executives with a working knowledge of France, it is still marginal in a globalised world where Anglo-Saxon liberal methods have become the norm and the authority or prestige of public service are not as important as they are in France.

	Amy Ridenour's National Center Blog: France: Our Oldest Enemy
		Ancestors on both my side of the family and my husband's fled France and areas near France a few centuries ago because the French government tended to slaughter innocents, especially Protestant ones.
		I do think highly of some individuals in France, including an old and very pro-American Parisian friend I haven't seen lately, but that friend is only alive today because his Dad was sick and missed school one day back in the 1940s -- the day all the Jewish students were rounded up by French authorities.
		While I guess some are misinformed regarding France's relationship with the U.S., I had a very good history professor who put that myth to rest.

		The postwar period was also rife with disastrous actions on the part of the French, including Charles de Gaulle’s decision to pull out of NATO and his obstruction of American efforts to turn back Soviet expansion.
		French imperialism left troubling legacies as well: America’s involvement in Vietnam followed decades of conflict between the French and the Vietnamese; the genocidal Cambodian dictator Pol Pot was a product of French higher education; even the Baathist regimes in Syria and Iraq can be traced to French influences.
