France vs Romania: What time does it start and where can I watch Euro 2016 live?

A look ahead to the Group A Euro 2016 fixture

It’s a big game for...

Olivier Giroud: With no Karim Benzema in the squad, Giroud has the weight of a nation resting on his shoulders. After experiencing a difficult season with Arsenal, the striker heads in to the tournament as France first-choice forward, and with the expectant home crowd already booing him in recent matches, a strong showing can help silence his critics for the remainder of the Euros.

Best stat...

46: Romania have beaten France three times since their inaugural encounter in 1932, but it’s been 46 years since they last tasted success against Les Blues. It came during an international friendly in 1972 in which Romania triumphed 2-0 in Bucharest.

Player to watch...

Antoine Griezmann: The Atletico Madrid forward is in the best form of his life and will be crucial to France’s hopes of going all the way on home soil. Having played the entire of his professional career in Spain, it will be a welcome return home for the Macon native, who has scored an inspired 22 La Liga goals this season, and stands out as one of our players to watch throughout the tournament as seen in the video below.
