Obligatory Schumacher 1982 mention early doors from the BBC.

Howedes is a weakness at LB I think. If I was a French attacker I'd be having a go at him. Debuchy and Valbuena might have great games today!

French poetry in the build up, you wouldn't get that on ITV!

Back to football after the relative famine over the past couple of days glad to see Lahm is probably back at full back and looks like both teams have gone for their best players in their strongest/favoured positions. Hopefully we get a good game & think Germany to edge it by 1 goal.

The last couple of days I've fancied the French to win this, now the game is here I'm thinking Germany will find a way and see themselves in to the last four.

Either way, though, I hope it's a cracker.

I don't particularly want either team to win this. C'mon nobody!

Just really hope it's as good as it could be.

No it's usually an advert with some knob chanting football songs while shovelling in a Subway.

Is Mark Lawrenson going to read out one of these anti-discrimination messages after his last commentary?

Can't believe the BBC gave this potentially great game to Jonathan Pearce and Mark Lawrenson!! Time for 5 Live.

Love Les Marseillais, second only to Italy for my favourite anthem.

Being against racism, homophobia and general intolerance is a good thing, I couldn't give a toss if it's politically correct.

Ozil sings as enthusiastically as he has been playing.

not saying it isn't

but I don't think asking players to read out things like that moments before starting a game like this is necessary

France to win 2-1. Good to see Benzema back through the middle.
