France now have a reputation of choking in major tournaments – are the players strong enough mentally to change the narrative?
Coach will be replaced after the summer – and is not happy about it. They are under pressure going into the finals.

There has been criticism in the Dutch media that the regeneration of this squad is taking too long and that the team going to Switzerland peaked some time ago.
Wales may be the lowest-ranked team at the tournament – but they are not in Switzerland as tourists. A highly competitive side.
Wilkinson has raised standards and, perhaps even more importantly, infused belief in a side led by the incomparable Fishlock.
There is no denying that world-class quality is lacking in the squad and key member Ingle only just made it after injury.

Bayern Munich make final decision on Luis Diaz transfer after Liverpool rejected £58.5m bid
Bayern Munich were left with a quandary after their £58.5million bid for Luis Diaz was rejected by Liverpool, despite him wanting to leave the club this summer Liverpool are braced for a second bid from Bayern Munich after the German giants made it clear that signing Luis Diaz is their top priority. Diaz, 28, was the subject of a £58.5million bid from Bayern earlier this week. That offer was flatly rejected by Liverpool, leaving Vincent Kompany's side with a decision to make. Bayern have also been in talks with Stuttgart over signing highly-rated striker Nick Woltemade. The 23-year-old registered eight goals and assists in just five appearances at the recent under-21 European Championship, as Germany reached the final before losing to England in extra-time. But Stuttgart's lofty asking price of £55million has seen Bayern cool their pursuit of Woltemade. Now the Bundesliga champions are said to have paused negotiations altogether. Bild report that Bayern are fully focussed on Diaz and remain optimistic that a deal can be done. Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and sporting director Max Eberl are prioritising talks with and want to finalise the move before the new season. Diaz is understood to be open to joining Bayern, especially after Barcelona - previously the favourites to sign the Colombian - shifted their attention to Marcus Rashford, who's set to join on loan from Manchester United. It's also understood that Diaz has informed Liverpool chiefs of his desire to leave. Bayern are planning to recruit at least one new forward this summer, targeting a winger who's able to provide for Harry Kane. That's after Leroy Sane failed to agree a new contract and signed for Galatasaray. Jamal Musiala then suffered a broken leg and dislocated ankle during a horrific incident at the Club World Cup. But not everyone thinks that Diaz is the right man. Former Bayern and Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann recently urged his old club to sign Brajan Gruda from Brighton instead. Hamann asked Sky Germany: "To now bring in Luis Diaz, a 28-year-old South American who played 50 games per season for four or five years and has those long flights home - which are also a problem - to pay 70 or 80 million for that, while the sale value is zero because he would be 32 at the end of his contract, I wonder what they even have the campus [academy] for?" "I would get Gruda," Hamann continued. "For me, he's one of the best German players. He was injured for a long time, but played very well towards the end of the season. Gruda can play on the outside and in the middle. He would be my first option." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Lionesses to stop taking the knee as Jess Carter reveals 'vile' racist abuse
England star Jess Carter has received racist abuse online throughout the Lionesses' European Championship campaign. The 27-year-old, who has been capped 49 times for her country, released a statement on Sunday revealing she is 'taking a step back from social media; after being targeted from the start of the competition in Switzerland. The Lionesses also plan to stop the anti-racism move of taking a knee before matches, insisting it 'clear we and football need to find another way to tackle racism'. The Football Association has also confirmed they are working with UK police and the relevant social media platforms. 'From the start of the tournament I have experienced a lot of racial abuse,' Carter said in a statement released by the FA. More Trending 'Whilst I feel every fan is entitled to their opinion on performance and result I don't agree or think it's ok to target someone's appearance or race. As a result of this I will be taking a step back from social media and leaving it to a team to deal with. 'As ever I am grateful for all of the support from the genuine fans but I am taking this measure to protect myself in a bid to keep my focus on helping the team anyway I can. 'Hopefully speaking out will make the people writing this abuse think twice so that others won't have to deal with it. We have made some historic changes with this Lionesses squad that I am so proud to be a part of and my hope is that by speaking out about this it will make another positive change for all. 'I'm now looking forward and focusing on putting all of my energy into helping my team.'
