Mark clatterburg will be chuffed with this. Wales go out and he is favourite to ref the final. 

Champions League Final, FA Cup Final and European Championship Final in one year is some achievement.

Wonder why our Scottish referees never get these jobs.  Oh, I know, it's because they are useless amateurish incompetents to a man.

Ronaldo says he told Bale after the game that Wales were the "shining star, the revelation of the tournament"

That would have to be Iceland for me... But two great stories from two small countries.

Also, like the pundits said last night, Portugal punch well above their weight in terms of population and consistently churn out world-class players.

Eusebio, Paolo Futre, Fernando Chalana, Fernando Couto, Paulo Sousa, Rui Costa, Luis Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nuno Capucho.

The last one even won a medal in Seville.

Mon the France. Could be a cracker. Likely to be 0-0.

[G.E.C. 18,804]

This always got me pumped up during the last Euros.

3-1 france

[LeeWallaceRFC 3,920]

4-2 Germany.

Hope the game keeps this pace

Until this tournament I didn't realise just how good Wee Griezmann is

[Blue Nosed Babe 20,764]

Griezmann is Le Petit Prince. I love his style of football.

This game is good so far. Bet it is better than the final.

[Trooblue 1,973]

A proper game of football, unlike last night.

[LeeWallaceRFC 3,920]

France need to hope they score from a set-piece. Germany are just showing their quality here.

[A.T.G 10,773]

Is Benzema and ReeBarree not playing because of all that hooker blackmail carry on

Yet France nearly scored from open play, great save from Neuer..

Which was their only shot of the game before the free-kick. Germany have had 6.

Was hoping he would end up at Real Madrid. Unlikely now however, just signed a new long term contract.

Matter of time before France crumble. It's 1914 and 1939 all over again.

If he gets top scorer and wins this tournament, should get the Ballon Dor, although even if he does it won't happen(Sneijder being the prime example)

Has to be Ronaldo. 60 goals this season, Champions League winner and Euro 2016 final.

I'm sure he will be at one of the top clubs soon

Hopefully, cost Atletico around £24million so I imagine he'll cost at least £50million with 5 years left on his deal.

Rebuild the Maginot line in front of the French goal.

Actually Hugo Lloris might do a better job.
