Winger - Raymond Kopa
Nicknamed the 'Little Napolean' for his exquisite dribbling and scoring abilities, Raymond Kopa was one of the first French footballers to rise to world domination in 1950s. Kopa scored 18 goals in 45 matches for France between 1952 and 1962.

He played in the 1958 FIFA World Cup and took the French side to the semi-finals by scoring three goals in the campaign. He won the Ballon D'Or in 1958 and also made it to the FIFA World Cup All-Star Team in the same calendar year.
Striker - Just Fontaine
Partnering with Kopa upfront for France is the legendary Just Fontaine. He is known for scoring the highest number of goals in a single edition of the FIFA World Cup. Fontaine scored 13 goals in six games in the 1958 edition as France made it to the semi-finals, which included four goals against West Germany.
He remains the fourth highest goal-scorer in FIFA World Cups among players having played at least two editions, behind Gerd Muller, Ronaldo Lima and Miroslav Klose. Fontaine made a fiery France debut by netting a hat-trick as France eased past Luxembourg 8-0 all the way back in 1953. Fontaine retired with 30 French caps, scoring 21 goals in total.
Striker - Thierry Henry
Thierry Henry is France's all-time top goal-scorer and one of the greatest to play in the game. Henry has netted 51 goals in 123 appearances for the French national team. Despite being a youngster in the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Henry ended the victorious campaign by being France's top goal-scorer in the tournament with three goals.
Henry was yet again the top scorer for France in Euro 2000, with three goals and three man-of-the-match awards in yet another victorious campaign. He earned the Golden Ball and Golden Shoe in the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup and led his team to the title. Henry made it to the 2006 FIFPro World XI for his constant goals for the France national team after the 2006 FIFA World Cup and eventually retired after a dip in form around the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
