Relive the entire opening match of Euro 2016 with this huge selection of the best jokes from France 2-1 Romania as it happened.
A header from Olivier Giroud put the hosts in front not too long after half-time, but the Romanians were able to level the scores through a Bogdan Stancu penalty just eight minutes later.
However the French clinched three points after a stunning late strike from midfielder Dimitri Payet, who wept tears of joy as he left the pitch at the Stade de France on Friday night.
After a dramatic end to the first game of Euro 2016, these were the best jokes from France 2-1 Romania:
Just saw the Romanian lineup. No sign of Gheorghe Hagi. Injured? WTF? #FRAvROM
