Watch France Vs. Portugal Stream Live: 2016 UEFA Euro Final Start Time, Preview For Championship Showdown
Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal look to reverse their fortunes against France, a team that has defeated Portugal in 10 straight matches — as well as their luck in major tournaments — as the 2016 UEFA European Championship Final will stream live on Sunday.
Host nation France are heavy favorites to continue their winning streak against Portugal and take home their third UEFA Euro championship trophy. The team took home the continental title in 1984 and 2000 to go with their lone World Cup victory in 1996 when they also served as host nation for that tournament.

Portugal, on the other hand, have never won either a World Cup or a European Championship, coming closest in 2004 when Portugal hosted the UEFA Euro but found themselves upset by Greece in the final.
Cristiano Ronaldo was a 19-year-old prodigy making his Euro debut in that tournament. But now, 12 years later, Ronaldo at 31 is one of the world’s highest paid professional athletes and arguably the international face of his sport, whose Real Madrid team has won two UEFA Champions league crowns in the last three years.
But Ronaldo has never held a trophy at a major international tournament with his country. If that’s going to happen this time, it will be up to him and his former Manchester United teammate Nani to provide the bulk of the offense for the Portugal side.

France, on the other hand, present a much deeper and more balanced attack led by Juventus superstar Paul Pogba, along with striker Antione Griezmann, who has connected on six goals in the 2016 UEFA Euro tournament already.
If Griezmann could somehow score a hat-trick in the Final against Portugal, he would tie countryman Michel Platini for most goals in a single Euro tournament, as well as Ronaldo for most goals all-time in the European Championships.
