PARIS -- France is facing Iceland in a European Championship quarterfinal on Sunday. Here are five France players to watch:---HUGO LLORISFrances tournament would have been even more of a challenge were it not for goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.He was ready from the off, making an alert save to deny Romania forward Bogdan Stancu from point-blank range in the fourth minute of Frances Euro 2016 opener.In the group stage, the Tottenham goalkeeper kept clean sheets against Albania and Switzerland, and then put in a commanding performance against Ireland in the round of 16.With Ireland 1-0 up and France under pressure, Lloris made a great save low to his left to keep out striker Daryl Murphys curling shot. And early in the second half he clawed away James McLeans fizzing cross from the left before it reached Shane Long at the back post.---SAMUEL UMTITIYoung Lyon center half Samuel Umtiti has no international experience.So, what a time to be making your France debut -- in the quarterfinals of a European Championship.With Adil Rami suspended, Umtiti is likely to be picked ahead of Manchester Citys Eliaquim Mangala, who has looked out of form in training.Umtiti is not as strong as either Mangala or Rami, but has pace and positional sense -- and he is a better passer from the back.One unanswered question. How will the 22-year-old Umtiti, who had a poor Champions League campaign this season, cope with the pressure?---PAUL POGBAFrance is still waiting for a commanding performance from its midfield star Paul Pogba.Considered among the most sought after players in football, he is constantly linked with a move away from Juventus, where he has won four straight Italian titles.But while the 22-year-old Pogba often lights up the Italian league, he rarely does the same for France. Aside from a dynamic first-half performance against Switzerland, where he twice hit the crossbar with shots from distance, he has been a disappointment at Euro 2016.Backing up Pogba is teammate Patrice Evra, who says hell be there for us when we really need him.French fans hope Evras right.---ANTOINE GRIEZMANNForward Antoine Griezmann has shaken off a lethargic start to become the spearhead of Frances attack.Griezmann looked sloppy in the opening game against Romania, squandering two golden chances to score.Coach Didier Deschamps then dropped him for the next game against Albania.If that was a wake-up call for the highly-rated Atletico Madrid forward, then it worked.Griezmann came off the bench to break the deadlock against Albania with a sharp 90th-minute header, and then scored twice in quick succession against Ireland last weekend to overturn a 1-0 halftime deficit.He seems to be timing it right for France.---OLIVIER GIROUDReplacing Real Madrid star Karim Benzema as Frances center forward was never going to be easy for Olivier Giroud.But, Giroud is slowing winning fans over -- though not for his goal scoring feats. Although Giroud headed France in front in the opening game against Romania, he has squandered golden chances since then.He impressed in the round of 16 come-from-behind victory against Ireland. His excellent headed lay-off set up Griezmann for the winning goal. He also put Griezmann clean through late on with a cushioned pass only for Griezmann to miss a great chance for a hat trick.The 29-year-old Giroud may never blossom into a lethal finisher, but he is unselfish and contributes through his astute link play.

HOUSTON -- After a brief holdout, Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was back to work on Monday catching passes from quarterback Brock Osweiler.I wasnt trying to send a message or anything like that, Hopkins said. I was doing what I felt was best for me and my family.Hopkins started training camp on the reserve/did not report list after failing to report to the teams facility by midnight on Friday.On Sunday, Hopkins missed the first practice but then hours later the Texans announced his reassignment to the active list, ending his brief holdout.I play football for a living. Thats my job, thats what I love doing, Hopkins said. I love coming out here being with my teammates. Just have to keep working. I know it will come. Im not rushing it. I know it will happen one day.As far as getting a new contract, Hopkins said he leaves that all up to his agent and the Texans front office.Hopkins is under contract for this season for a $1 million base salary and a $7.915 million base salary for 2017.I really dont have thoughts on that, Hopkins said about having a goal of being a long-term Texan. I can only control what happens day to day and thats me coming out here and doing my job to the best I can.In his first practice back with the team it didnt take long for Hopkins to look like the Pro Bowl wide receiver. On the first play iin 1-on-1 drills, Hopkins made a highlight-reel touchdown catch, beating Jonathan Joseph on a pass from Osweiler.dddddddddddd.It was great, its getting better. From where we started to where we are now we came a long way, Hopkins said about working with Osweiler.Caught a couple touchdowns out here. All the guys are out here working and Im happy that I can be out here to push them.Along with making his usual catches, Hopkins was leading the wide receiving group, including helping out the rookies.Anytime you have the leader of that group out there no question its important, Texans coach Bill OBrien said.You can see out there today hes talking to (Will) Fuller, talking to Braxton (Miller) and Wendell Williams about different things. Different things in the offense, how to line up, how we run certain drills.Anytime you have that presence thats something thats really good for your team.For Fuller, who was drafted in the first round by the Texans in April from Notre Dame, leaning on the veterans for advice is key and he is taking it all in.Its just fun to be playing with someone of that caliber, Fuller said. Its great to have him.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
