There can be only one! A battling Wales finally succumbed to Portugal in the first of the semi finals thanks to goals from Divealdo & Nani, but the nation will bask in the glory of reaching their first KO stage since 1958. The achievement also saw them propelled from 117th in the world to 26th.
In the other semi final, Germany’s well drilled team fell to the flair of France who are now odds on favourites to take the trophy on Saturday night in Paris.
But it won’t be easy for either team as referee, Mark Clattenburg will do his best to get as much camera time as humanly possible.
So what will be the outcome? Will UEFA insist both teams wear away strips so that the crowd can tell who is who? You have until 21:00 CET Sunday to make any changes, so best get a wriggle on
In the Millhouse Trophy league not much change at the top with Mav787 ’s Mavericks holding a 346 point lead over second placed AndyG76’s Dead Men Walking with Mini Mav, Michael’s Draped in red, trailing on 308. Can those lower down the order leap-frog into a top 3 spot?
So welcome everyone to your Euro2016 Final thread. Kickoff at 21:00 CET 10th July Portugal V France.
Should have already done this, but had a bit of real life trip me up
So, on the night of the moth invasion of Paris, the host country were finally taken out by a diva-less Portugal via an Eder goal in the second half. Falloveraldo lifted the trophy without busting a fingernail & so lives to fight off moths another day
In the real world, the table in the Millhouse Trophy League ended thus:
Mav787's Mavericks, having started very strongly top the pile with 371 points, a healthy 29 points clear of Dead Men Walking with Draped in red in third with 333.
Tips for next KO tournament. Come out of the blocks at 100mph. That's the best way to solidify your lead, as by the end of the tournament most people have very similar teams.
Don't pick England players.
Pray Clattenburg is injured.
So that's all folks. Thanks everyone who took part & now let's look forward to a new premier league season
