France held by Romania
France stumbled in their opening Euro 2008 game as Romania held Raymond Domenech's favourites to a goalless draw, a result that will put a totally new complexion on Group C. Romania, beaten by France in their opening match of Euro 96, were able to stifle a largely muted Gallic attack to emerge with a priceless point in their fight to survive the group of death that includes world champions Italy and Euro 1988 winners Holland.
Romania can join the European intergovernmental agreement from the very first moment, Minister of European Affairs Leonard Orban told a press conference on Tuesday.
