How to watch Portugal vs. France at the Euros: With and without cable
France were one of the favorites to win the Euros this summer. However, their performances have not been as exceptional as many fans anticipated. They have only scored three goals and two of them were own goals, the other was a penalty from Kylian Mbappe. Didier Deschamps' side also only finished second in their group. This has left them on the tougher side of the draw which also includes Spain against Germany in the other quarter-final.
In order to face the Spanish or the Germans, France must get past Portugal. The Portuguese only just scraped past Slovenia in the round of 16 on penalties. Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty in extra time and was visibly emotional at the end of the 120 minutes. However, he did still put away his spot-kick in the shootout. The French beat Belgium 1-0 to set up this clash with Portugal. The winner in that game was an own-goal from Jan Vertonghen.
