BUDAPEST, Hungary (Reuters) - France coach Didier Deschamps praised Antoine Griezmann ahead of his side's European Championship clash with Hungary, a match that will be the forward's 50th consecutive start for his country, labelling him one of the greatest players of all time.
Griezmann, who has scored 37 goals for France in 92 caps, is set to pull six clear of the previous starts record set by Patrick Vieira. Victory on Saturday would send the world champions through to the last 16 with a group match to spare.
