    Breh needs to join Bayern. I wanted him years ago, but he'll probably cost 100mil now. Maybe it happens if Lewandowski goes to Real.

    It's a pretty common chant all over Europe's football stadiums.

    After re-watching, I guess you can give that penalty.

    I watched it a few times to see the Refs reaction bc it was delayed; he put his hand up to blow the whistle right as it took place but put it back down. I think he checked with the back Ref to confirm, then called the penalty. I thought it may have been when Schweinsteiger was laying on the ground that the ball hit his arm but on review the Ref got it correct.

    I assumed the Iceland fans were still there and that they were doing the chant. But if not, that is grand larceny the likes of Miami stealing the Houston Oilers theme. Bad France.

    This is from more than 2 years ago in Lyon, France. And I'm sure I could find earlier ones. That chant has been around for a long time.

    They hold their arms in a different way in that video. Also, the French didn't do this in the early stages of the tournament, not before they played Iceland, so it's pretty obvious...

    Feel good miracle story, breh.

    In the beginning no big French club wanted him due to his short stature of a striker.

    Then came his mentors inside Real Sociedad who scooped him up and he has been in Spain ever since. :grin:

    Besides Patrice Evra who is a veteran and Bacary Sagna, this french team look really young and exciting. They should be a force to reckon with in the next 8-10 years.

    They have quite a lot of depth with the likes of Sakho, Zouma, Clichy, Ribery, Lacazatte, Varane etc not even part of their squad this time

    Mathieu from Barca, Benzema from Real, United's Martial and Schneiderlin not playing much or at all.

    Ben Arfa from PSG, Kondogbia, Nabel Fekir and the Oldie Valbuena

    The owner of the Contador cycling team was hilarious whoever that is. Like the Charles Barkley of cycling perhaps. Brutally truthful.

    Just realized that teh virtual FIFA Euro I played in had the same Final match as the real Euro, let's hope it ends up the same way and Ronaldo leaves the pitch in tears.

    Breehs, no one excited for the Final? Guess everyone still sad that Germany is out. :p

    I predict a 3:3 for France.

    4-2 Portugal.

    I am actually amazed at the passion the players have, and that the fans have, given this is not a league or world cup match. Credit to the fans and players for bringing it.
