With all the firepower France have they've only scored 1 goal themselves in 4 matches so far.
The Mbappe penalty, and the other 2 goals were own goals

They did in 2006. I tried watching Portugal vs Slovenia, when I woke up the match was over.
That was world class total football. Romania was lucky it wasnt 7-0
Donyell Malen can dribble. He is my type of footballer. I enjoyed him immensely
Whoever wins Friday Spain Germany wins the whole thing. Based on Germany almost losing to Switzerland, I say Spain will win. Spain has a bunch of young guys that never stop, they're small dribblers, but you never know.
Romania has a few good players, they won against Croatia, but they were never contenders. Turkey is going to be tougher.
Portugal are not contenders based on the game against Slovenia, it had to go to penalties. Slovenia had no attackers and they even missed all penalties. The PC tried but they couldn't score. Crazy game.
Portugal is going against France, good luck with that. Ronaldo cried after missing the penalty.
The only surprise for me was Turkey beating Austria. I think I took them to beat the Dutch in the QF as well. Speaking of the Dutch they looked mighty impressive yesterday. They will be Turkey's next opponent on Saturday. I like their chances.
It would take a very brave coach to bench Ronaldo.
Ramos (his replacement) isnt much better either
Exactly. Imagine the pressure to be a starter instead of Ronaldo. You can replace him quite early but right now I am for starting him. He is, after all, the all-time goal scorer.
You start Ronaldo simply because it's his last chance to get a big trophy. He and the whole team know it.
BREAKING: UEFA has launched an investigation into Turkey defender's Merih Demiral's "alleged inappropriate behaviour" after he celebrated a goal at Euro 2024 by displaying a hand sign associated with an ultra-nationalist group.
After scoring the second goal he appeared to make a sign with each hand that is associated with the Turkish ultra-nationalist organisation Ulku Ocaklari, which is more widely known as the Gray Wolves.
