    Thank god Benzema's injury wasnt too bad for France... They'd be screwed up top without him

    On paper that German team should do well, just a shame their form is shocking

    We're enjoying the game in our house. My daughter is Hungarian and this is the first football tournament she has watched - very excited!
    Well, that was a cruel introduction to football for her! Still, Hungary put in a great effort and she was very proud.

    106 international goals is crazy. Rooney played for 15 years and scored half that total.

    Shearer, Owen and Kane combined have 104!
    If Ronaldo was English everyone would be moaning on about how his goals were primarily against minnows

    Spain | Belgium | Holland are the only major nations he's scored against.
    If he was English he wouldnt have played as many games, far too creative to be selected lol

    Poor girl. At least she will be able to appreciate what it's like for you being Charlton. Although I'm not sure it's good when your children pity you.

    Since when did form matter for Germany when it comes to a tournament? This game should be a cracker I think

    Agreed, example being so many on Sunday, claiming that Kane should have been taken off shortly after HT...

    If Germany do show up yet still lose tonight then their game against Portugal could be fascinating

    We will see what France has turned up to this tournament tonight they are rightly favourites but being the French they could easily fail to get out of the group if Germany turn them over tonight

    With the history between Viera and Keene it's funny seeing them together if they disagree over anything in the match there could be a right kick off lol

    Both my tips for the final Portugal and Italy missed chances but scored 3 goals without being in top gear.
    Any other group and Hungary would win a game but great to have the team who gave England their biggest spanking at wembley back with the big boys of European Football.

    There was a good programme featuring the pair of them a few years ago - well worth a watch.

    Yes I have seen it, really good. The tunnel bust ups between the 2 of them were amazing, just wouldnt happen today I dont think. Keene makes me laugh even now when he is a pundit on an Arsenal match, they could be 10-0 up at halftime and he would still rip into them, he obviously hates them after all these years lol

    Imagine getting that upset while watching 1 of the greatest players of all time. 
    Yup that's as maybe but he is a bit like marmite isnt he ? I respect his skills but still think he is a twat and would like nothing better than to see someone do a bowyer on him and kick him 6 ft up in the air with a thumping tackle
    Somewhere in the depths of youtube there is a great video of Kish doing just that, over and over again.

    Ronaldo is a great player and it is irrelevant whether we like him or not. Those of us who don't like him, don't know him.

    Ofcourse your right but I cant forgive him for his behaviour when we played Portugal, plus imo he just pushes the boundary of confidence into smugness

    Ronaldo has scored seven goals against both Sweden and Lithuania. He has played 15 games against the 'big five' European nations – 2 vs England, 3 vs France, 3 vs Germany, 2 vs Italy and 5 vs Spain – but only scored against Spain, getting a celebrated hat-trick against La Roja at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

    I think Germany have been okay, especially since the goal. Havertz is having a stinker tho.

    Germany aren't playing bad at all, France just look like they're playing a training match... I'm on 3-0 and 5-0 france and happy with those
