France vs Iceland 20:00 (GMT + 02:00). Hosts face off against dream chasers.
Tonight at the Stade de France in Paris, Hosts France wil take on Iceland for a spot in the Euro 2016 Semi finals. The winner of this clash will take on Germany after their penalty heroics yesterday.
Despite being in the quarter finals, France are yet to really hit the heights in this competition. A last minute winner from Payet and another late two goal salvo tells the story of their qualification.to this stage. They have not really dominated opposing teams as Belgium or Wales or Germany did and do. Today as they face off with Iceland, they have a perfect chance to send a message to Germany ahead of the semis.
Iceland have had a great competition so far. No one gave them a chance prior to this tournament but the country of just 330000 have defied all odds to reach the quarter finals. After a shock win over Hungary in the last group stage game and a shock defeat of England in the round of 16, they now have a chance to go one better against France.
Definitely bookmakers' favorites to win the game will be the French but we once underestimated Iceland, we were shell-shocked once, why can't it happen again??
See you at Stade de France!!
