The crime is why Deschamps chooses Gignac over Martial. Baffling.

I hope so. That would really be the cherry on top of this game.

Plus it gave us all the rigmarole of deciding the best third placed teams and working out who they would play in the second round.”

Thats the problem - the group stages only getting rid of 8 teams. They need to either go back to 16 qualifiers, or increase it to 32, but have the last 16 from the previous finals qualify automatically, with qualifiers for the the other 16 places, which will also cut down on matches for the top countries.

RoI yes, NI topped their group so they'd have been there on merit.
Is that the goal that wins Portugal the European Championship?
Marvellous strike, worthy of winning any tournament.
