France kick off UEFA's 15th European football championship with a match against Romania in Paris tonight. 

Players to watch: 

France - Olivier Giroud: Booed by French fans and not exactly the most spectacular of France's players, but detractors seem to ignore his astonishing form when playing for his country - the Arsenal striker has scored seven times in his last five games for Les Bleus. The striker's size and aerial prowess may be just what France needs to unlock Romania's stingy defence. 

Romania - Bogdan Stancu: A skillful left winger who sometimes plays as a support striker, Stancu impressed Turkish Super Lig fans this season with his play at Gençlerbirliği. A keen free kick taker, watch out for his long-range passing too. Not to be confused with his teammate, Steaua Bucharest playmaker Nicolae Stanciu.
