Playing style
France plays offensively. Even if his Power Shot is most effective in midfield, he doesn't always use it there as a CPU.
Appearance
He has a gray, thin beard, thick five o'clock shadow and short gray-black hair. He also has a cigarette in his mouth which releases smoke. It can be knocked out of his mouth. He is the only character with anything in his mouth other than Ireland and his clover.
Power Shot: Underground Shot
France's Power Shot is called the Underground Shot, but he says something like "Crater." He jumps up a few meters into the air, forcefully smashing the ball down into the ground, which shoots forward out of a big crater. Before the crater which releases the ball appears, two other craters show up a bit closer to France, but they don't do anything. When the shot is used too close to the goal, however, the ball will disappear for a few seconds and spawn in the center of the field. This is one of the most useful Power Shots, because if you use it from the halfway line, it's almost guaranteed a goal.
Costume
France does not wear a standard Costume.
Unlock Requirements
In order to unlock France, the player must beat 14 different characters in a Sudden Death in Arcade or pay 1,100,000 Points.
Tips and Tricks
The best area to use the Underground Shot is in the middle of the field, but a confirmed goal is possible if the character moves a bit closer to the opponent's goal, and with a bit of luck he will even waste the opponent's Power Shot away. As long as you stay near midline or even a bit behind when you use the power shot, it is a 99% guaranteed goal. If you come too close the ball will not show up from the ground anymore, but after a brief amount of time it will reappear in the center of the field like a normal kick-off, and if you use this shot too far away from your opponent's goal, the ball may not go in.

- France is one of the character in the game whose power shot can guarantee you a goal from such a distance away from the opponent's goal. That makes him a great pick in Death Mode to avoid dealing with obstacles that can potentially block most powershots. Most other power shots can only guarantee you a goal when they are used right in front of the goal. Other exceptions are USA's power shot and Mon-K's air shot.
- When you Counter France's Power Shot your character says "Turret Shot!," which differs from what France says when he uses his shot; quite unique in the game.
- He used to be the boss in Stage 2 of Death Mode before the update 6.20 but got remplaced by Mon-K and can only be found as a regular opponent in stage 26.
- France's head structure is /¯)
- He might be a reference to Captain Price from the "Call of Duty : Modern Warfare" series due to his facial hair and the cigar in his mouth.
