    France 0-0 Albania

    Interesting stuff from West Ham boss Slaven Bilic, who thinks Dimitri Payet is better as winger than a number 10. 

    Will Didier Deschamps be thinking the same thing right now? I'd be very surprised if there are no changes.

    Daniel Kelly: Fantastic half from Albania! France will take that at the moment though, Griezmann will come on and win it on the 84th minute!

    Adam Gullivan: It could be argued that Albania deserve to be ahead. Great first half from them.

    Anuj Gangwal: Very flat from France in the 1st half. Has to be time for some Pogba magic surely. Martial disappointing.

    France 0-0 Albania

    The last time a European Championship game failed to see a single shot on target in the first half was at Euro 2008 in a group game between France and Romania.

    How did that game end? Goalless...

    France 0-0 Albania

    A lot of huff but no puff. France have bossed most of the first half in terms of possession, but Albania have more than held their own territory-wise.

    "I can only imagine Pogba's going to come on at half-time. We need to see a lot more from France. They must have known this is how Albania were going to set up? They've got two wingers on the pitch but we've seen no width at all. Martial looks a bit nervous. Pogba's out warming up."

    Giovanni, Bedford:  The two wingers not working for France. Need a midfielder like pogba to burst through into the box.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:50 British Summer Time 15 June 2016

    France 0-0 Albania

    Whistles and boos as the whistle goes to signal half-time. The home fans are frustrated. Can Albania capitalise and produce a shock?

    ...the corner comes in and is through to an unmarked Mergim Mavraj but he's caught by surprise and can't connect. Good chance!

    One additional minute. Will he we have a shot on target before half-time?

    Not looking likely, but Albania have another corner now...

    David Marston: Shades of last night's game. One experienced team not delivering the final ball well, the other creating good chances.

    Mahrus Anwar: Ajeti looks like he's been playing at this level for years, very confident, relaxed. And he's only 22! Impressive.

    Ledian Memushaj takes the free-kick, it's over the wall and onto the roof of the net. Good effort, but Hugo Lloris had it covered.

    Patrice Evra's boot is high as he tries to clear and ends up smacking Andi Lila on the head. A free-kick for Albania now, right on the edge of the area.

    Do Albania have their own Dimitri Payet...?

    France, it's fair to say, have not impressed so far. In fact, has any side in this tournament stood out? I suppose that makes it more open, and therefore potentially more exciting. Something this game isn't at the moment.

    "The danger signs are there. That was a fantastic corner." 

  16. CLOSE!published at 38 mins

    France 0-0 Albania

    A bit of pressure on France at the moment as a hopeful ball into the box is put behind for a corner. 

    Ledian Memushaj takes it, hitting it low and hard into the centre of the France box. It catches the hosts out and Ermir Lenjani almost takes advantage but his first-time shot is blocked.

    Paul Pogba is warming up. The experiment hasn't worked?

    Vieira151: Martial looking young and inexperienced, and a little fearful. Shame, 'cause he should be great in a year or two.

    Daniel Woodley: France not doing their "favourites tag" any good. Looking disjointed and short of ideas against a well-organised Albania side.

    "There's no real flow from France. There's no support for Giroud up top when he manages to get hold of it either. It's all very bitty. They're not playing with any width, and the passing has been poor."

    My oh my. Beautiful skills from Kingsley Coman as he spins a defender with some excellent footwork. The end product is not so good as he crosses straight into Etrit Berisha's hands but I'll brush over that because, in a game of few chances and very little quality, I'll get excited about whatever I can at the moment.

    Thought you were going to see pot-shots aplenty in Marseille tonight? Wrong. France have only managed two wayward efforts (left graphic) courtesy of Olivier Giroud, while that blank space on the right indicates Albania have not even lashed a shot in anger at the French goal.

    And this barren opening 35 minutes (and counting) means this has been the longest wait for a shot on target in a Euro 2016 match.
