EURO 2016 SEMI FINALS

We finally have four teams to play the semi finals.

Germany                     Portugal
France                         Wales

France completed the four semi finalists yesterday by beating Iceland 5-2. That was the only match in the competition so far that produced more than 6 goals. From the fixtures, I do not see a repeat of yesterday goals galore. 

EURO 2016 Semi finals fixtures

Portugal vs Wales
Germany vs France

The fixtures will ensure that either the hosts or the reigning world champions do not feature in the finals. The Germany vs France match is the biggest so far, seconded by the Germany Italy and Italy vs Spain matches. Italy made their mark but now Germany, the well oiled machine having won the world cup seem to be in the Euros to stamp their authority in the world football. Who knows! The higher probability so far is that the winner between Germany and France will win the EURO 2016, but that does not go without saying that Portugal or Wales will not give it a good fight. Chances though lie with the lesser team in Wales to qualify for the finals.

The two day rest to the first semi final between Portugal and Wales proves to be a difficult one. Wales have scored 10 goals in five matches as compared to Portugal's 6 and in terms of conceding Wales have conceded 4 as compared to Portugal's 5 goals. 

The Germany France match is difficult too. Germany have scored 7 goals so far while France have scored 11 goals. They have conceded 1 goal and 4 goals respectively.
