England[edit]
Le Tournoi gave England manager Glenn Hoddle a valuable opportunity to work with his chosen squad for three and a half weeks, as well as to field an experimental side in the game against Italy which "blended a caucus of Manchester United youth with some Premiership wrinklies".[1] England's victory against France was their first since 1949, but after their exit in the last 16 of the World Cup the following year and departure of Hoddle seven months later, Le Tournoi was a "reminder of unfulfilled promise".[2]
