No matter where you look on the international football avenue, France will be there.
The senior team is the reigning world champion, the team up to the age of 17 recently won the Euro held in Israel, the team up to the age of 20 lifted the trophy in the Morris Revello tournament (formerly the Toulon tournament), and the under-21 team qualified for the European Championships when they finished first at home.
The under-19 team, which will meet the Israeli team in the European Championship semi-finals tonight, is another branch of the French football monster.
She, too, is laden with talents that have grown in local academies, she too crushes almost any opponent who faces her (defeated host Slovakia 0: 5 and Italy 1: 4) and is also a candidate to finish this tournament at the top of the podium.
The 53-year-old Lundri Shoba's team is strong in every corner of the field, but in this tournament two people stand out above all others.
In the offensive section, which includes Alan Virginius of Susho and Angie Yuan-Bonnie of Pharma, it is impossible not to get excited about Malom Chona first.
Only 18 years old, but with a few appearances as a substitute in the Sosho uniform, this versatile attacking player has done everything in the home stage.
He is fast with the ball as without him, left-footed but able to score even on the right, smart, agile and cunning.
So far he has scored four goals and added two touchdowns, plus he is first in creating situations and a senior candidate to be the outstanding player at the end of the tournament.

In defense, the French present the most talked about player in the tournament.
At a height of 2.06 meters, Suleiman Isak Torre aroused interest long before the European Championships kicked off.
A player from La Habra in the sub-league presents unusual physical figures in world football, but his immense height is not reflected in clumsiness or slowness.
On the contrary, Isak Tora is very strong on his feet, stable, fast and no less surprising: having a good footwork.
In the home stage, there was not a single player in the European Under-19 Championship who delivered more times than the French stopper, and his dedication was 96% accurate.

He is able to stop attacking players and in the same breath launch his team's attacks, making it a highly sought after commodity in the European market.
With these two, and many more good ones, you will have to deal with Ofir Haim's team.
