Fantasy managers brace themselves for the penultimate match of Euro 2016 as France and Germany go head-to-head in Marseille at 8pm.

There’s little between the pair as they lock horns for a place in Sunday’s final against Portugal, after Fernando Santos’ side defeated Wales 2-0 last night.

France have won four and drawn one of their five fixtures so far, netting at least twice on four occasions. The 5-2 quarter-final demolition of Iceland ensured that Les Bleus entered the last four as the top-scoring team in the tournament.

Germany, though, showed their mettle by defeating Italy on spot-kicks last time out and, having conceded just a single goal, boast the best defence in Euro 2016.

Joachim Low’s side were equally impressive at the other end of the pitch – they sat joint-top for attempts on goal in the opening five matches and led the way for shots inside the box. Despite netting just seven times to France’s 11, then, the World Champions will be confident of breaching a backline that’s conceded three times against Republic of Ireland and Iceland over their last two matches.

    Was it Germany with that circuslike fail of a free kick a few years ago? Maybe WC 2014?

  27. secret_account
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Was 521st after the quarters, miles ahead of my private leagues, decided to risk it for first place and gambled on 5 Welsh (Bale captain) and 5 Germans (Muller captain). I dropped to 3000 after last night and now likely going to lose my private leagues too! This really is great

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 3 months ago

    3. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      10 years, 3 months ago

      You was never getting first place from 521st and so small a pool of players to choose from

    France up, revenge for 1982 france loss to germany and the ridiculous schumacher foul on Batiston.

    No, it's Draxler.
