France is hosting Euro 2016 and will kick off the tournament against Romania. Paul Pogba and company are the favorites to win the tournament.

They will look to get three points in the opening match against a Romania team that enters the match as a heavy underdog. ESPN’s SPI projections give Romania just a 4.5 percent chance of winning Group A.

The squad relies on a stout defense that does not give up goals. The challenge for Romania is they do not score many goals either. A draw against a team like France would not be a bad way to start off the tournament and would keep their chances of advancing alive.

For France, there is a lot of excitement around Pogba’s potential play in the tournament. According to SB Nation, he is only 23 years old, but he has already been to four straight Serie A titles. Pogba has also played in a Champions League final for good measure.

The combination of the excitement around seeing France play as the host nation in addition to the curiosity about Romania’s ability to defy low expectations make today’s match must-see television.
