SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) -- It's not a case of whether France's defense will get found out later on in the European Championship against better sides. The difference is that better sides will ruthlessly punish France's nervous, creaking back four the way Romania could not in a 2-1 defeat in their Euro 2016 opener on Friday night. While Dimitri Payet's wonderful late goal will rightly grab the headlines, the night could have turned out badly - because France should have fallen behind in the fourth minute, after a calamitous mix up by a fledgling center half pairing featuring the ultra-nervous Adil Rami alongside Laurent Koscielny led to a corner.
