After a month long event, we finally head towards the Climax of one of the greatest football events in the whole of Europe. The stage is all set at Stade de France which will host the grand finale this Sunday between the 2 teams who have worked very hard to get to this stage.
While Portugal beat Wales to get to the finals, France beat the world champions Germany to get here. Here is how both the teams faired in their previous encounters in the EURO 2016 so far...
FRANCE
France 2 - 1 Romania France 2 - 0 Albania Switzerland 0 - 0 France France 2 - 1 Republic of Ireland France 5 - 2 Iceland France 2 - 0 Germany
PORTUGAL
Portugal 1 - 1 Iceland Portugal 0 - 0 Austria Hungary 3 - 3 Portugal Croatia 0 - 1 Portugal (Added Extra Time) Poland 1 - 1 Portugal (5-3 on penalties) Portugal 2 - 0 Wales
While both the teams have been undefeated throught the tournament, the match this Sunday would be a real test for both these teams. France's Antoine Griezmann is currently the leading goal scorer in the tournament with 6 goals after scoring 2 goals in the previous encounter in the semi finals against Germany and leading his team to the finals, while on the other hand Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo is a proven match winner so all eyes would be on these 2 guys to see who would be the first one to score in the crucial decisive match in which the winner takes all.
So who is your favorite for the EURO 2016. Do you think France will win the EURO Cup this time on their home soil or will Portugal's CR7 work his magic again. Pick your side and get ready for the big event this Sunday. |
