PARIS (Reuters) - Having scored seven goals in two games without the suspended Karim Benzema, France could be forgiven for thinking the Real Madrid striker is not essential for the Euro finals.

France beat the Netherlands 3-2 away last Friday and Russia 4-2 at home on Tuesday with forwards Olivier Giroud, Andre-Pierre Gignac, Dimitri Payet, Kingsley Coman and Antoine Griezmann all finding the back of the net.
