jmothecat Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 France also hosted the 1960 Euros and didn't win the tournament. Italy didn't win the other one they hosted in 1980. Neither got to the finals. Means no team has won every Euros they've hosted. West Germany made the final of the only one in Germany and Portugal made the final of the only one in Portugal, but neither won.

Jambomo Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 This is the second cringeworthy French moment after Thierry Henry's fake trying not to laugh smirky thing when England went out. That wasn't cringeworthy, that was funny. He had told them before that Iceland should be respected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 It wasn't funny. Yes, he was right, Iceland deserved respect, but he just looked like a fucking tit with a put-on twitchy face. Aye he should've just burst out laughing that would've went down better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Wasn't convinced by France as a team in early stages but it looks like everything has gradually clicked for them. I'll be absolutely incensed if that shitey Portugal team nab in on Sunday. Scary to think how good France would be with Benzema in there instead of a French Kris Boyd. They've got arguably one of the most exciting centre backs in the world not available as well, their team would be utterly ridiculous at full strength. Can't get over Muller's tournament, what on earth is going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should definitely be in with a shout. Scored 35% of Atletico's goals in a season where they made the CL final and ran the big 2 very close in the league. And has clearly been one of the players of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to see how Portugal will beat them but stranger things have certainly happened. If Portugal do win it, it will be because of one man, and we all know who that is. Aye, Renato Sanches is the clear second to Griezmann for player of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get over Muller's tournament, what on earth is going on there. Varane, Mathieu, Sakho, Rabiot, Kondogbia, Ben Arfa, Lacazette and Benzema are all sitting at their houses instead of being in the squad. They've some pool of players.
