PARIS (Reuters) - France coach Didier Deschamps will have some tough decisions to make over his forwards when he names his World Cup squad with Les Bleus featuring among the favourites to win the trophy.

They lifted their only world title, on home soil in 1998, thanks to a steely defence and the sublime skills of playmaker Zinedine Zidane rather than their forwards but this time, just like at Euro 2016, France will rely on their attacking players.
