France striker Karim Benzema has said that Les Bleus are not afraid of England ahead of Euro 2012.
The old rivals share a group with Sweden and co-hosts Ukraine, and Benzema believes that France have what it takes to succeed.
"We believe we will qualify," Benzema said.
"It's tough to start against England, but we don't fear them."
The Real Madrid star also said that he wanted to face off against banned striker Wayne Rooney.
"It's a disappointment Rooney is suspended," he said. "The fans would have enjoyed the duel."
England and France meet in their opening group game in Donetsk on June 11.
