Europe's top youngsters are vying for the Young Player of the Tournament at UEFA EURO 2016 – and several have made eye-catching contributions in France.

Presented by SOCAR, the new award is open to all players born on or after 1 January 1994 and will be chosen by the UEFA technical observers. Led by UEFA chief technical officer Ioan Lupescu and including Sir Alex Ferguson and Alain Giresse, the observers are attending all 51 EURO matches.

Seems Belgium been sporting that hair for ages.

Belgian fans have a legitimate beef with that non-call on Lukuku.

[dfwgator]

Are you kidding me?????? 3-1!!!!

GOAL! WALES 2-1 BELGIUM (Vokes 86)

Crikey! Sam Vokes puts Wales two goals ahead with a wonderful header past Thibaut Courtois that goes inside the left upright. Wales are going into the European Championship semi-finals.

⚽ Vokes scores vs Belgium (3-1)

Somewhere England Players are weeping... extra.

[dfwgator]

Poland players are weeping too, to think if they won yesterday, only Wales would be in their way to the Final.

Well if Leicester City can win the Premier League, why not Wales?

Germany has to finally defeat Italy.

[dfwgator]

I love how on this team Bale is just one of the guys, although he probably makes ten times what the rest of the players combined make.

[Berlin_Freeper]

I want to see Portugal win... in extra time

And then again... in extra time - LoL!

(not really)

[dfwgator]

How about an Iceland-Wales Final.

[Berlin_Freeper]

A nice lad. Very down to earth.

Ramsey was brilliant tonight. Unfortunately has to sit out the next game because of a yellow card tonight.

I’m not good with football statistics...Germany has never beaten Italy before?

[Berlin_Freeper]

So that’s that, then! It’s worth repeating: Wales are through to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 and join hands to do their sprint-and-slide of honour into one of the corners of the ground that is peopled by their fans. Belgium’s players, by contrast, traipse off looking thoroughly despondent. They were a goal up against a team they almost certainly consider to be Gareth Bale And Ten Other Blokes, but somehow contrived to lose ... and lose heavily. They’re out and Wales go into the last four, where they’ll meet Cristiano Ronaldo And Ten Other Blokes.

Germany–Italy football rivalry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

...the German team has never defeated Italy in a tournament match, with all Germany's wins over Italy being in friendly competitions.
