Former coach Raymond Domenech has said that he rated France among the favourites for Euro 2012 and that they should at the very least reach the semi-finals. Domenech, who quit as France coach after the World Cup debacle in South Africa in 2010 and was replaced by Laurent Blanc, said that he believed the current squad could go deep into the tournament which is being jointly held by Poland and Ukraine from June 8 to July 1. “I see France as being among the favourites,” he said. “Eighteen matches without a defeat, wins over England and Germany away and a win over Brazil also, first in our qualification group – all that makes you a favourite,” he said.
