This evening’s final Euro 2016 match pits reigning World Cup champions Germany against Poland.

The two sides will know each other well after being drawn in the tournament’s qualifying group. That saw Poland end an 18-match winless run against the Germans, beating them 2-0 in Warsaw. However, Germany got the better of Adam Nawałka’s side in the return fixture with a 3-1 victory.

Germany also has the upper hand in major tournaments having beaten Poland at Euro 2008 and the 2006 World Cup, keeping clean sheets on both occasions. Indeed, Germany have kept eight shut-outs in their last 12 encounters with Poland.

Both sides will be looking for their second win in the tournament, with Poland getting the better of a resolute Northern Ireland defence to run out 1-0 winners. Meanwhile, Joachim Low’s Germany mustered an impressive 18 goal attempts as they saw off Ukraine 2-0.

Germany will be looking for a big performance from Thomas Muller who despite registering 10 goals in his 13 World Cup games, has so far failed to score or assist a single goal in any of his six European Championship tournament matches.

      Yes.
      Do teams that are already eliminated attack in the last game? Or just hide in their own half.
      Wondering what to do with Yarmolenko...

    So by keeping players like Muller through to the knockouts, we lose money when their price goes down?

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      most likely

    Muller :angryredface:

    Alli, thanks for the assist.

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      How many points with how many left Jazz?

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        35 this week (107 altogether) with 3 left.

        But I'm gonna sub 4 blankers out so theoretically 26 points with 7 left (98 altogether).

        How are you doing?

        1. Slam
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 day ago

          29 with 7 left but captaincy is still floating.

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 day ago

            Nice, hope you get it right with the armband! Who you looking to captain tomorrow?

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years

      Chose Stanciu over Alli 🙁

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

    Muller and Lewa owners thrown the towel in yet?

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Don't have either, still not doing well 😆

      1. ktongue
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 day ago

        Who do you have then?

    2. ktongue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      Lew went for Pelle because I couldn't think of anyone else worthy. Müller, Meh, he's everywhere when you watch the game so might keep him. Use what's left of my Lew funds to upgrade Stanciu. What about you?

    How are price rises determined? There is wc after group stages. Is it no of transfers in and out or random?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 day ago

      And can player only go up 0.1?

    2. TorresMagic™

    Using the wildcard was a horrific decision in hindsight. Well well, now when I have lost I can enjoy the football properly. 😀
