Hungary’s late collapse against Portugal has left a bad taste in my mouth, but hopefully this battle of two traditional powers of European football will make for a much more tasty main course. Yes, it’s lunch time here on the Best Coast.

Anyway, three Chelsea players start this one, with N’Golo Kanté anchoring France and Toni Rüdiger and Kai Havertz looking to undo that for Germany. Werner, Zouma, and Giroud are all named as substitutes.

Here we go!

Lloris (c) | Hernández, Kimpembe, Varane, Pavard | Rabiot, Kanté, Pogba | Griezmann | Benzema, Mbappé

Substitutes from: Tolisso, Giroud, Maignan, Koundé, Coma, Lenglet, Digne, Dembélé, Mandanda, Zouma, Ben Yedder, Lemar
