Head-to-head

• Portugal's victory at Euro 2016 is their only win in 13 games versus France (D1, L11).
• This is the fifth major tournament meeting between the sides - but the first time they have met in the group stages. All four previous encounters took place in the semis (Euro 1984, Euro 2000, 2006 World Cup) or final (Euro 2016). France won the first three while Portugal won in 2016.

One nil, Portugal, Ronaldo pelanty

England v France as it stands.

Didn't one of our players get punched in the head by a goalkeeper in an earlier game and nothing was given?

It happened in the County play off final.

Thanks, I knew I'd seen a similar incident recently

Penalty for Portugal. Ronaldo about to make history?

England v Portugal again. The only side they haven't been up against so far tonight is Germany.

This refs determined to be the centre of attention
