Football
France have the full 23 to pick from, so suspect it's a simple choice of whether he sticks with the team that tonked Iceland or recalls Rami or Kante or both.
France looked great going forward against Iceland, but Iceland were pretty ordinary and it's not like the French attack will get anything like that amount of room and possession against the Germans. Yet to be convinced by France defensively and will be interesting to see how they cope with sustained pressure.
Germany look typically German. Waltzed through the group stages, blitzed Slovakia and ground out qualification against the Italians, despite not playing overly well. Much may depend on who covers for Hummels and how well he does so.
The Germans tend to turn up when needed and I expected them to be marginal favourites in spite of France's home advantage. Initial play is Germany to qualify at odds against.
France on the recieving end of more favourable treatment when it matters again.
Terry Henry's handball against Ireland anyone?
The best thing to happen now would be for Portugal to win it on Sunday

Bottom line: They shouldn't have been thrown on the pitch with another Italian after dramatically smoking his country in the QF.

JUSTICE FOR EURO 96
“There is no justice in this world. No single punishment can correct an injustice, because what is past cannot be changed, and those to whom
injustice was done remain with their loss. But even if justice were attained in some other world, for what was lost in this one, if in some
other world those who had been injured had returned to them what they had lost here, that is not a return of their life’s fulfillment; it is
only consolation. What is lost at a certain moment can never again be compensated, because what is lost was needed at the moment it disappeared.”

way too profound for the fiba forum
I have to say I got this all horribly wrong
I had a Belgium german final and was hoping for Gomes to be top scorer coming in on a late run.
I took some cover on Ronaldo and Griezman as a precaution so am ok on Top Goalscorer but definately lost throughout the Tournament.
Well done to whoever called it and to The Water Carrier. I don't like him but he has played his cards well.
