Bale was frantic af the last 20 minutes, if he would have taken his time with certain moves instead of straight away going for the goal, it may have worked out differently.

But god dayum, I always give Portugal shit, but admittedly their defense is top notch.

The match that will decide who will meet Portugal in the finals; Germany vs France.

Both have amazingly stellar teams through and through, I'm really stoked to see these top dogs go at it. My prediction on what comes after though, is: whomever wins this match will most likely win against Portugal.

I'll be rooting for France (maybe I shouldn't... the last couple games whomever I rooted for ended up losing... hmm).

Odds are Germany will win, they have been performing amazingly these last couple of matches.

Here is the line-up for this match:

Projected Starting Lineups France
GK: Hugo Lloris
DEF: Patrice Evra, Samuel Umtiti, Laurent Koscielny, Bacary Sagna MID: Dimitri Payet, Blaise Matuidi, Paul Pogba, Moussa Sissoko FWD: Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud

Germany
GK: Manuel Neuer
DEF: Jerome Boateng, Joshua Kimmich, Benedikt Howedes, Jonas Hector
MID: Julian Draxler, Mesut Ozil, Thomas Muller, Toni Kroos, Bastian Schweinsteiger
FWD: Mario Gotze

Looking at the line-up, Germany has some of the worlds best players in Defense, Midfield and Forward. Boateng, Ozil, Kroos, Schweinsteiger and Gotze have all proven to major forces to be reckoned with. And Neuer as a goal-keeper is pretty much as good as it can get.

France has Pogba, who is their star player. Can't say much else about the rest as I don't know them all to well.

But both teams have very good team-work. I'd be shocked if Germany lost, but we always know; playing at home DOES make a difference.

So, we'll see. :)

But dayum, that save by Neuer is exactly what I meant. He is a power house!

Can't watch right now, so just getting updates from the wife. She says this match has a lot more energy.

Oh yes, it does! The energy in the stadium is insane!

It's always on either one side of the field, it isn't just in the middle like with Germany v Italy.

Germany is showing superioty right now, but it's awesome to watch!

wtf

France suddenly has a penalty

That was a penalty reasoning for debate! Germans must be pissed af right now!!

My wife sure is. She called me at work, then had my son explain why they were so angry. LOL

I love that there is a random person in the audience waving a Greek flag. Even on the front-row, lolol.

Oh shit- Germany is in trouble.

My livestream got stuck when France scored the second goal. God damn you stream!

Probably from someone toppling the servers in anger.

But France won!! Yay!!

But it sucks I missed the second goal though, lol.

But I am super stoked for the finale!

Bah, was rooting for Germany but I'm OK with us losing against the very possible winners.

Germany lost both halfs 1-0, we at least won the second half 2-1 (:

I'm now more interested in watching the 3rd place match. lol
