You do realise that there were fewer French refs than any other country right? In fact, if memory serves, the greatest proportion of Refs (both Euro Refs and Teams) were German, then EnglishI think in every country i always a little bit of "local ref support", but from what I've heard from my teams, 141 were flying around the not french teams too much, but not vice versa.
A little bit sad but hey, there are only 3 events in a french speaking country.
