France, Euro 2016 semi-final:
Griezmann fires France
to Euro 2016 final vs
Portugal with brilliant
double
Anyone who says history is an
irrelevant backdrop to these games
should have been here to witness the
intensity of Germany versus France:
the world champions against the hosts,
in game 50 of this sprawling
tournament, with two great traditions
at stake.
There has been much to commend this
European Championship, but few direct
clashes to bring butterflies to stomachs.
Germany v Italy was one, but Germany
v France was on another level, with a
final against Portugal awaiting this
collision of surely the two best teams in
France. Even the climate did its bit,
baking this coastal city and adding the
extra clamminess that comes with great
sport on hot summer nights.
The star of the show, Antoine Griezmann was
last to leave the pitch tonight and even took a
wee bow.
A lot of transfer gossip will follow
this performance with various Premier League clubs linked to him.
