06/07/16 : Portugal played against Wales in Lyon for the first semi final of the competition. Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani scored during the first half and made the Seleção win the game. Next step : the final against France or the 2014 World Cup Wining Team, Germany.
26/06/16 : France played against Ireland. That game started badly for the Blues who had to face an Irish goal at the very beginning of the game. But, during the second half they manage (thanks to Antoine Griezmann) to score two times in 5 minutes, making them both win the match and go to the next level of competition.
Portugal gatecrashed France's Euro 2016 party to win the European Championship for the first time in its history and all this without leading star Cristiano Ronaldo. A super strike by substitute Edér was the difference between the two teams, who both hit the hit woodwork during the match. "They managed to achieve without Cristiano Ronaldo, proving to other teams that one or two great players do not win a trophy, but that a proud, inspired team, with a nation behind it, is what it takes to win the most coveted trophy in European football."
07/07/16 : France played against Germany for the last semifinal of Euro 2016. Thanks to Griezmann, the Blues won the game and can now join Portugal for the last step of the competition. It is an historical match since France has not won against Germany since a few years.
Saturday 11th June : England played against Russia in Marseille. Although they were the favorites, England tied 1 - 1 with Russia. The game really started during the second-half in which both teams had opportunities to score. Dier scored from a wonderful free-kick at the 73’. While the English were way more confident, Russia finally scored at the very end of the game (90’). It is such a disappointment for both the Lions and all the British supporters who had massively come to Marseille.
