Euro 2020: Daily Briefing
Watch all the action as Hungary take on France at the Euros
Hungary performed valiantly against Portugal in their opening match and can consider themselves very unlucky as they failed to earn a point, keeping the defending champions in fear for 2020 minutes only for a wicked deflection to finally break the deadlock. Cristiano Ronaldo's last-gasp double ultimately resulted in a 3-0 team defeat, but it had no effect on the fightback that Hungary had.
Nevertheless, it means Hungary must earn at least one point to keep their faint play-off hopes alive, and it will be a serious fightback against world champions France. Didier Deschamps' side were stunned in their first win over Germany, scoring Mats Hummels' autonomous goal, made possible by a brilliant pass from Paul Pogba, securing Les Bleus all three points. As for Hungary, the front three of Karim Benzema, Kylian Mbappe and Antonio Griezmann may prove impossible to subdue as France look to secure a place in the last 50. Perform all of the steps below:

I don't think I've ever seen such a big shift in the national anthem. We go from a radiant bouncy French tune to a slower, Adele-like Hungarian anthem. Both are gorgeous in different ways.
Either way, it's all trivial. The game's on us!
