Shame so far, France have managed to do twice in 45 minutes what England failed to do in 90. Half time and it's 4-0 to France.

What did you expect? We're England. Us going a fair distance in an international tournament is about as likely as the Germans loosing on penalties.

Damn. I was hoping for a different result, but it is what it is. 5-2 for France. I thought Iceland should have tried to play more long balls in the first half. The second was better, but the same edge they had against England was missing and France played a very good game.

Wales vs Portugal, a completely embarrassing first half I'd have been fine with ending 1-0 Wales. Then the second half happened and it was like someone told Portugal "guys, you can't fucking blow it".

What a disappointing game. The lack of a true striker and stupid mistakes on the backend killes us.

Some german players were saying that they played the game of the tournament. Not sure what they were smoking. Yes, we absolutely dominated in possession. But we still lost because we were unable to break through the french wall.

The French won a well-deserved victory. Too bad for Germany. Planning and intelligence sometimes simply cannot substitute speed, energy and skill.

I've only been looking at the score but to me it seems that Portugal fumbled their way into the finals. As much as I'd like to see Portugal win, unless they played really well in the final, they should just pack up and forfeit the game. :)
