Only one place to start.

The🐐 Cristiano Ronaldo broke the record for most goals at the European Championship.

Will this be beaten for goal of the tournament?

Netherlands 3-2 Ukraine. Game of the tournament so far?

Italy may just be the team to beat.

Wales started with a credible draw against Switzerland.

And it finally might just be coming home, you know.

For all the pre-tournament hype, this French team are basically defend deep and hump the ball to Mbappe. Very disappointing. At least Germany can point to the lack of real quality as their excuse.

Richard, Manchester.

How can anyone not like N'Golo Kante? He's adorable.

Togetherness

France

France midfielder Paul Pogba speaking to M6 (via Uefa.com): "We're focused on our jobs on the pitch. We know we need to live up to our tag as world champions and come out on to the pitch with humility.

"When we need to suffer, we do it together and when we attack, we do it together."

BBC Radio 5 Live

Assistant manager of RB Leipzig, Moritz Volz, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live: "The disappointing thing was that the Germany subs did not have an impact.

"They didn't really have any impact on the game and you need that."

'We didn't suffer that much'

France

France coach Didier Deschamps speaking to M6 (via Uefa.com): "We played a great game against very good opponents. I knew my players would be ready and we were up for the fight.

"We weren't far away from scoring the second goal that would have made us safe, but we didn't suffer that much in the second half. It was a strong match with quality and talent."

'That's a defence that can win them the title'

ITV

Roy Keane: "We spent all night talking about France's attacking players, but again another clean sheet. That's a defence that can win them the title. They are brilliant at the back."

Patrick Vieira: "They look solid, they look comfortable, and that was a really good start in the competition."

Germany have lost their last two games at the European Championships, with both defeats coming against France.

The Germans have had 28 shots across those two games without managing to score.

And they say lightning never strikes in the same place twice.

You decide...

Germany need more movement

BBC Radio 5 Live

Assistant manager of RB Leipzig, Moritz Volz, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live: "France had Mbappe occupying two players to create space for others and Germany did not have that.

"Serge Gnabry was mainly in the centre of attack, I did not agree with him coming off and Kai Havertz did not look at his best. There were a lot of sloppy touches.

"Germany had chances to score but there has to be more movement and quicker movement off the ball."

France just got over the line. They got a bit of luck when they needed it. I was expecting more from them but they will say, 'who cares'.

Germany played some attractive football but it was so slow and lethargic at times. There was not enough potency or movement from their forwards.

97 minutes ticks onto the board.

That's awful, just awful from Kevin Volland.

So much time and space down the left edge of the box but the Germany striker plonks his attempted pass out for a throw-in.

This is a poor Germany side.

Here come Germany again, probing, pressing...

They have tried and tried but there is just no movement from the Germans in the box.

They are on their heels and just need to gamble when the ball goes in the box.
