I think the real star of Euro 2016 is that Icelandic announcer.....

Thanks for the info...so the times where Germany came out on top in a tournament didn’t have a direct match between the two teams. Does make tomorrow interesting.
Wales played some game, Kanu's goal was Cruyff-like absolutely as the announcers said and that last goal by Wales, Vokes, was that header from about 15 yards? Impressive.
Wales will be missing A. Ramsey and Davies. A bit tough.
Belgium was missing Kompany and some others? And it does seem the ref could have made some calls in favor of Belgium. Lukaku did not execute a header, they had chances.
This tournament is favoring underdogs; Italy is an underdog tomorrow. France should be able to scrape by but Iceland must be very enthused as well.
The Evil Eye Curse must be broken.
