The last time France hosted a major international soccer tournament — the World Cup — Les Bleus thrilled the world, and seemed to represent a new, multicultural France.

Five Matches to Watch in Euro 2016

The attack on Charlie Hebdo headquarters in January , and the Paris terror attacks in November, have only stoked more fear and mistrust.

France faces its first test in the Euro opener, against Romania, which played to draws with Spain and Italy in friendlies.

Everyone watches.
