France has always defeated Portugal in official competition except in 1996.

On another note I think Schweinsteiger is one of the most overrated players in modern football. I have never considered him a star.
And what did he add in this tournament? A missed penalty and a decisive penalty for the French...

And then this average player has the nerve of having a incredible body , getting him some of the most beautifull ladies in the planet, this besides a incredible bank account and being the most generous sportman in the world regarding charity. John Cena comes in second place….yes he is overrated player.
And I hope that finally someone puts Portugal in their right place, i.e. whipping them and them cover them with salt! How does a team dare to come to a tournament and think more about the results then the exibithion on the pitch! How do they dare!!!

It would be a travesty if a team that has performed like Portugal has, actually wins the title. I hope France wins. They have played with spirit.
And yes - WTF is it with the Germans and the hands? Boateng was bad enough. You'd think that the first thing Low does is to schedule an emergency training session devoted only to never again jumping up with your arms raised.
And then next game...wait a minute: wasn't Boateng captain the day he did it? And then Schweinsteiger too. Hmm..

Germany was missing goalscorers on the team.
If you look at the bundes-league top-scorers, does Germany have an issue with "too many foreign attackers / forwards" and therefore not good enough German attackers? Thomas Muller is the only one......

"France have enough of titles in their bag alreday"
