Special until they realise all their surnames have a suffix of 'Son'
England always play like shit on Big Tournaments. Also, worst penalty shootout performers.
Finals Prediction: France 3 - 1 Portugal
Because of thir fluke FIFA spot. They are number 2 (in front of Germany) when they haven't done better than 1/4 finals in the past tournaments. It shows that FIFA's point distribution is garbage but people relied on it and saw Belgium as a big fav.

It's 2016 and we are still waiting for the proof that France rigged the whole thing. Maybe you'll have a shred of evidence in 70 years time.

But their teamplay is off, and don't get me started on Hazard that just did his worse season ever.

It's huge when you are not seen as a favourite, or even a big football nation. England has always been THE british team, wales took their place. It's a huge deal for them, they never thought they would go that far.

I see on every social media that "Germany dominated so much"
Truth is: they did have the posession, but what they did with it wasn't good.
Shots taken is about the same (don't have exact numbers)
Shots taken on goal GER 6 FR 7
Dangerous situations in favor of GER (14min/74/93) in favor of FR (7min/42 +2goals)
So Germany with 65% ball posession didn't even benefit them. France defended low and well, Germany didn't get through.
Those are not domination numbers.
