France will go far in Euro 2012 according to French footballing legend Zinedine Zidane on Thursday.

"I am a big supporter of this team, I really have a good feeling about them," said the former Real Madrid superstar, who was speaking while participating in a charity event juggling footballs.

"I think they have prepared really well and will have a really good tournament," added Zidane, who turns 40 on June 23.

"I hope that they will begin well against the English," added Zidane, who famously threw up prior to taking a successful last minute game winning penalty in the Euro 2004 group game with England.
