France march on. Them and Germany should be a great battle.
Iceland have had a great tournament. Them and their fans have been superb. |

Those criticising the French defence need to consider a Jerome Boateng led German defence minus Mats Hummels who is suspended, at the other end of the field.

France ruthless in that first half but it was good to see Iceland claw it back a tad in the second.
That French defence is lightweight, though. I expect to see the Germans exploit that. |

Khedira is injured, Schweinsteiger is injured and for Gomez the tournament is over. That plus the yellow card against Boateng. Germany seem to have no chance. |

germans defence is still better than the french defence even without hummels... but on home soil the french are almost invincible at major tournaments.

I agree, Iceland should not feel gutted, they never gave up trying.

Antoine Griezmann is on top of the Golden boot stats with four
I dont think he will beat Michel Platinis record of nine How did he score nine in one championship i dont know |

Germany seem to have no chance. ...............Neuer............ .....Boateng.....Howedes..... Kimmich.........................Hector ...........Kroos........Weigl or Can Muller........Ozil.........Draxler ................Gotze (swapping position with either of the 3 behind). I reckon they'll play like that. |

The game brought up the goal average a bit.
Now stands at 2.15, better than Euro 96 incidentally, still worse than Italia 90 though (2.21). At least its above 2 though which otherwise would have been pretty disastrous. |

Only Hummels is a massive miss for me tbh They have Liverpool's Can to easily cover for Khedira and Gomez is no great loss , Draxler Or Gotze will presumably come in to the reckoning . |

No Schweinsteiger, Khedira, Gomez or Hummels then. I guess they'll revert back to 4231.

Was it as good as you remember And how did you feel when Harald Schumacher fouled Patrick Battiston knocking him out cold |

Gomez is currently Germany's top scorer, apparently Mueller can't find the goal in European championships, Goetze isn't doing very well at the moment, he hardly gets to play and is looking for a new club, I think |
