June 9, 20169 yr I really wish the Golden Goal would come back into football. Watching this repeat of the Euro 96 semi final between Germany and England I can see how tense it must have been at the time which makes for great entertainment if you're a neutral. Believe me, that was pretty much the only period of extra time played under the golden goal system that was any good. The rest were incredibly boring with both sides concentrating on not conceding a goal. That's why it was scrapped.
June 9, 20169 yr The Euro 2000 semi final and final were exciting too - the final between France and Italy was brillant
June 10, 20169 yr The Euro 2000 semi final and final were exciting too - the final between France and Italy was brilliant I remember watching the Euro 2000 semi final as a kid rooting for Portugal and feeling disappointed when Zidane scored a late golden goal penalty for France to put them into the final. Italy were so unlucky not to win that final but I suppose they got their revenge on France in 2006. Edited June 10, 20169 yr by Hazza Chapman
June 10, 20169 yr Let's hope France don't lose their opening match on home soil, that would be an awkward situation... ha When was the last time the host nation, lost their opening match on home soil. I can't remember of the top of my head.

I can't remember of the top of my head. Both Austria & Switzerland lost their opening games in euro 2008.
June 10, 20169 yr Both Austria & Switzerland lost their opening games in euro 2008. Thanks for that, funny enough I had Switzerland on the brain
June 10, 20169 yr 15 out of 20 BBC pundits have backed France to win Euro 2016. I agree with them, I really think home support will make the difference for France. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36417119
June 10, 20169 yr As Dobbo said! I really believe they're overrated and will stumble at the quarter finals.

June 10, 20169 yr Author Pleased to see Wales play in a major tournament and doing it for the late Gary Speed who would have been delighted to see them in the Euros. Never forgotten Gary Speed. RIP.
June 10, 20169 yr Romania have played well actually could have scored in the first 5 minutes, the French look a bit wobbly at times, just needs a lift hopefully a few goals in the second half.
June 10, 20169 yr Half time and its 0-0. A very average game so far, France not looking any better than us in terms of finishing and defense to be totally honest.
June 10, 20169 yr Romania are a solid outfit, conceding the least goals in the whole of the qualifiers. Having said that I did expect a comfortable home win tonight!
June 10, 20169 yr Author How Romania could rue those chances they had. First goal. 1-0 France from Giroud.
