26/06/16 : France played against Ireland. That game started badly for the Blues who had to face an Irish goal at the very beginning of the game. But, during the second half they manage (thanks to Antoine Griezmann) to score two times in 5 minutes, making them both win the match and go to the next level of competition.
Excitement builds as France fans gather to head to Bucharest's National Arena for the last-16 tie against Switzerland. Around 25,000 supporters will be permitted in the stands in the Romanian capital, amounting to half the overall capacity. IMAGES
France and Switzerland fans get in the pre-match party spirit in Bucharest ahead of Monday evening's game between the sides in the last 16 of Euro 2020. France are the reigning World Cup winners and lost out to Portugal in the final of Euro 2016. IMAGES
Portugal gatecrashed France's Euro 2016 party to win the European Championship for the first time in its history and all this without leading star Cristiano Ronaldo. A super strike by substitute Edér was the difference between the two teams, who both hit the hit woodwork during the match. "They managed to achieve without Cristiano Ronaldo, proving to other teams that one or two great players do not win a trophy, but that a proud, inspired team, with a nation behind it, is what it takes to win the most coveted trophy in European football."
Despite losing the final of Euro 2016 to Portugal, the Eiffel Tower has been lit up in red, white and blue in honour of France's football team. IMAGES of Eiffel Tower at the end of match.
