Portugal v France follows on from a tense early kick-off in which Spain progressed to the semi-finals with a late, late goal.

This next game gets underway at 20:00 BST.

Roberto Martinez has named the same Portugal side that edged past Slovenia in the round of 16.

But Didier Deschamps makes two changes to the France team that saw off Belgium.

One is enforced as Adrien Rabiot (€6.5m) is suspended, so Eduardo Camavinga (€5.8m) comes into midfield.

Marcus Thuram (€6.9m) also makes way in attack as Randal Kolo Muani (€7.9m) gets his first start of the tournament.

The winner of this tie with face Spain in the semi-finals.

LINE-UPS

Portugal XI: Costa, Pepe, Dias, Palhinha, Ronaldo, Fernandes, Silva, Leao, Mendes, Cancelo, Vitinha.

France XI: Maignan, Upamecano, Kounde, Camavinga, Griezmann, Tchouameni, Mbappe, Kolo Muani, Kante, Saliba, Hernandez.

      Hello my friend Jacob...apologies I was out with friends watching the game, but worry not, as soon as Portugal got knocked out, you were the first person that came to mind, I came back online this morning and looked into your logs to find this beautiful comment.
      You are right both teams were diabolical (the whole tournament in general to be fair). Happy to concede I was wrong.

      Kounde has been my best pick in this game, so good. Double up with Maignan also decent. Triple up with Theo/Saliba for the SF.

    Sad football day for me. Tipped Portugal to succeed & was excited about Ronaldo winning it even though he destroyed my club way too often in the past, he is just a legend of our time & he definitely created his own history book which future generations would come to discover.

    Ronaldo, Kroos, Müller farewell! Dammit I’m getting older than I thought.

    Wow Southgate mentioned the "entitlement" of English fans in his presser today. He's right but I didn't think he'd mention it!
