France: Lloris, Sagna, Koscielny, Rami, Evra, Kante, Matuidi, Pogba, Griezmann, Payet, Giroud.

[Sideshow Bob]

Brilliant save by Lloris.

 

[IrishManc.]

Decent start to this - Romania had a great chance to go ahead. They look confident in possession.

 

[IrishManc.]

France looking very good here in patches. Payet seems to have a free role. Such a strong midfield.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Yeah, France look like a team that will create plenty of opportunities.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

The referee has been leniant.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

France's attacking patterns has been impressive in the first half. Player movement is good.

 

[SuperRash]

Pretty poor game for the opener, think Romania don't look up too much even though they've had the best chance. Think we will see a couple of changes soon for France if they don't grab the breakthrough, hopefully Martial!

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Another great chance for Stancu.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

1-0 France. Poor goalkeeping.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

That's a penalty.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

1-1.

 

[RichH2016]

What a finish!!! Hell that's a great great finish. Payet is a world beater when he's in this mood. What a player.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Stunning goal.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Decent game for an opener of a tournament.

 

[RichH2016]

Good win that for France. Dug deep and got the result. Always important to win that first game and being the hosts the pressure was on France.
