France vs. Albania 2016: Time, TV schedule and live stream for Euro 2016

A hopeful Albania side is going to try to make life as difficult for France as they can.

France are riding high right now, buoyed by a big win over Romania in their first European Championship match on home soil to open Euro 2016. A second win would be huge for them and their countrymen, all but assuring a spot in the knockout rounds in the process.

Albania played well in their opening match against Switzerland despite their loss and spending most of the match a man down, and they're not going to go down easy. They're a tough and fun team -- not flashy or physically domineering like some teams are, but well capable of putting on an impressive performance on their day and beating anyone. They're not going to be an easy opponent for France to take down, but if the hosts play to their potential, they should be able to get the three points they want -- or else we're going to get one heck of a fun story to watch unfold as Albania stun the world.
