    Dembele seems the one person most likely to do anything positive for Didier Deschamps' side.

    It's amazing that Diogo Jota hasn't come on for Portugal, that guy gets goal at important moments.

    Jota the slotter.

  • ET: Portugal 0-0 France

    97. Dembele goes on a mazy run and skips past Pepe.

    82. If anyone have an Amazon Prime account we could do with you ordering some excitement for us.

    70. Dembele gets lucky as his cross hits the heel of Pepe and drops straight to a completely unmarked Camavinga.
