So it is finally here!

Euro 2016 gets underway on Friday evening, as hosts France take on Romania at Stade de France and it is live on talkSPORT.

Join Mark Saggers, Stan Collymore and Stuart Pearce from Paris, as Didier Deschamps' men look to get the ball rolling with a victory in Group A.

France won Euro 2000 and the head coach will be hoping for a repeat on home soil. They prepared for the tournament with two friendly wins - scoring six goals - against Cameroon [3-2] and Scotland [3-0]. 

Meanwhile Romania enter the match as underdogs and they prepared for the European Championship with a win, draw and defeat against Georgia, DR Congo and Ukraine respectively. 

Some of the familiar names in the squad are former Man City and Sunderland goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon – currently at Watford- ex-Tottenham defender Vlad Chiriches and former West Ham loanee Razvan Rat.

Team news

France: Deschamps is expected to patch up his injury-ravaged defence by pairing Laurent Koscielny with Adil Rami, while Kingsley Coman is expected to feature on the bench after recovering from a calf injury.

The France boss said of the clash: "The setting is the Stade de France and it is the opening game so it is certainly special, and this should set the tone for the whole tournament. 

"Romania will not roll over and they will give their best to achieve a good result. If they want to win this match, they can't just defend. This team know how to defend but it is not the only thing they are good at. I watched their most recent games and they are very good going forward. I am expecting them to come with the intention of upsetting us, so it will be an interesting battle over the 90 minutes."

Romania: There is good news on the fitness front for Iordanescu, with striker Florin Andone set to start after shrugging off a hand injury, and midfielder Ovidiu Hoban also coming into contention.

Boss Anghel Iordanescu reckons Friday night offers the perfect opportunity for his side to show the football world their talent. He told a press conference: "We are up against one of the best teams in the tournament.

"I hope and believe my players will do their best to show everybody we have a worthy team capable of putting in a good performance. The objective is to qualify and get through the group, and make a very good impression at the same time."
