Pretty interesting how so far all opening goals were goalkeeper errors
France's 1-0 against Romania: Payet crosses it in, goalkeepers comes out of his goal, completely misses the ball to give Giroud the free header

Are you kidding me? That was a foul that was not given. Unless you're telling me that the keeper had a magnet in his harm forcing the elbow to hit him.

I just watched it again, don't see what Giroud did wrong. He went for the ball, not for the goalkeeper and it was outside the 6 yard box. And those collisions just happen. Then again I can't find a replay with a good angle.
