:00:32. > :00:36.Euro 2016 just keeps getting better and better.
:00:37. > :00:39.I know it has felt weird with no matches over the last
:00:40. > :00:42.couple of days, I don't know how I've coped!
:00:43. > :00:46.But don't fear now we've reached fear, now we've reached
:00:47. > :00:50.From now on, each match will be winner takes all.
:00:51. > :00:53.Oh, and just in case you haven't noticed, all our teams
:00:54. > :00:56.We've got the latest news from England, Northern Ireland
:00:57. > :01:00.and Wales coming right up plus all of this.
:01:01. > :01:07.See if you agree with our top five goals of the tournament so far.
:01:08. > :01:10.Passionate Polish fans give us the low-down on their team who have
:01:11. > :01:16.Plus our man in France, commentator Conor McNamara,
:01:17. > :01:19.compares Paris landmarks with football icons.
:01:20. > :01:23.The group stages are over and it is all change
:01:24. > :01:32.Persich break-out star of the tournament and Hal Dawson
:01:33. > :01:36.Over here McGovern, Ramsay and Walker all play
:01:37. > :01:38.for their home nations, who have fantastically all qualified
:01:39. > :01:41.What a massive cause for celebration.
:01:42. > :01:44.Wales secured their place in real style by cruising past Russia.
:01:45. > :01:47.3-0 in one of the best performances of the tournament.
:01:48. > :01:53.Aaron Ramsey was on fire with a lovely little dink
:01:54. > :02:01.for the first and Swansea left-back Neil Taylor got the second
:02:02. > :02:03.and his last goal was for Wrexham over five years ago
:02:04. > :02:08.Gareth Bale was majestic and another goal from the Real Madrid star means
:02:09. > :02:14.he is the tournament's joint top goal scorer and best
:02:15. > :02:17.of all for delirious Welsh fans, not only did they top Group B,
:02:18. > :02:19.but they also finished above neighbours England!
:02:20. > :02:25.Roy Hodgson made six changes for their final group match
:02:26. > :02:33.and the Three Lions could only draw nil-nil against Slovakia.
:02:34. > :02:35.There were plenty of decent openings as England dominated but Vardy,
:02:36. > :02:37.Henderson, Sturridge and Ali could not find
:02:38. > :02:41.Still, I'm urging all you England fans to keep the faith.
:02:42. > :02:43.The level of support inside the stadiums in France
:02:44. > :02:47.They've zipped the ball around well in every match so far.
:02:48. > :02:52.The subs bench is packed with talent and captain fantastic Wayne Rooney
:02:53. > :02:58.should be back from the start against their last 16 opponents
:02:59. > :03:03.When you're playing world champions Germany
:03:04. > :03:06.losing 1-0 is an incredible effort and that's what Northern Ireland did
:03:07. > :03:09.Goalie Michael McGovern made a string of outstanding
:03:10. > :03:16.His heroics ensured that Michael O'Neill's men avoided
:03:17. > :03:19.a bigger defeat and that was crucial because they qualified thanks
:03:20. > :03:24.to a better goal difference than Albania and Turkey.
:03:25. > :03:31.That's obviously because four third placed teams have still gone
:03:32. > :03:34.through from the six groups to make up the last 16.
:03:35. > :03:37.I mean, organising this tournament is about as difficult
:03:38. > :03:40.And what a mouth watering opponent up next.
:03:41. > :03:43.Yes, Northern Ireland and Wales play each other later today for a place
:03:44. > :03:47.And another team with loads of familiar faces to have qualified
:03:48. > :03:53.They snatched a crucial win against Italy thanks to this
:03:54. > :03:55.dramatic late goal and see if you can recognise
:03:56. > :04:13.These Ireland fans don't want to go home and the way
:04:14. > :04:19.it stands at moment, they're not going home!
:04:20. > :04:21.Yes, our very own Conor McNamara with Kevin Kilbane, both
:04:22. > :04:39.Now, once all the excitement had died down, Conor found time to cast
:04:40. > :04:57.At Euro 2016 will we say represents the Eiffel Tower.
:04:58. > :05:00.But here is the thing - of those ten million people,
:05:01. > :05:03.they reckon that 80% of them only come to look at one painting.
:05:04. > :05:07.So I'm trying to think who here at Euro 2016 do we think
:05:08. > :05:09.is the footballer who most reminds of the Mona Lisa?
:05:10. > :05:12.Well, let's see, everyone regards it as being world-class,
:05:13. > :05:14.it likes being the centre of attention this painting.
:05:15. > :05:17.Everyone, I think, pretty much wants to get a selfie taken with it.
:05:18. > :05:20.I think Cristiano Ronaldo is the Mona Lisa of Euro 2016.
:05:21. > :05:22.OK, the next calling point on my whistle-stop tour of Paris
:05:23. > :05:26.It's the business district and it is called La Defense.
:05:27. > :05:29.Any pictures you see of Paris, you never really see skyscrapers
:05:30. > :05:33.like the huge one behind me and that's because they've got such
:05:34. > :05:36.lovely old architecture here, they don't want big buildings to be
:05:37. > :05:38.dominating the skyline so if you want to build
:05:39. > :05:41.a big business building, you don't do it in
:05:42. > :05:44.You do it here at La Defense of which the highlight
:05:45. > :05:52.and the landmark is the huge modern arch behind me,
:05:53. > :05:59.So, if we are to pick a footballer, at Euro 2016 to represent this grand
:06:00. > :06:03.I'm going to say the Ittalian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon
:06:04. > :06:14.This arch was name after soldiers that defend this city.
:06:15. > :06:17.I'm going to say that Buffon is the grand arch of Euro 2016.
:06:18. > :06:20.Now what trip to Paris would be come bleat without a trip
:06:21. > :06:24.A structure that's become a symbol for the entire city.
:06:25. > :06:27.It was built in 1889 for a world trade fair and the idea
:06:28. > :06:29.was it was to be dismantled a few years later.
:06:30. > :06:31.Parisians though fell in love with it and you can't
:06:32. > :06:40.Which footballer at Euro 2016 represents the Eiffel Tower?
:06:41. > :06:43.Let's see, it is tall, it's elegant, it is world-class,
:06:44. > :06:49.I'm going to pay that Paul Pogba is the Eiffel Tower of Euro 2016.
:06:50. > :06:52.Conor there enjoying both football and culture.
:06:53. > :06:56.I have said it before and I'll say it again,
:06:57. > :07:00.As for the host nation, they go into tomorrow's match
:07:01. > :07:03.against Ireland knowing that the whole country will be
:07:04. > :07:50.Make sure you head to the MOTD Kickabout area
:07:51. > :08:03.Spot the ball games, match predictions plus a video
:08:04. > :08:08.uploader to send in your own Euro 2016 themed clips.
:08:09. > :08:11.That's what Freddie and Joey did after watching last week's show.
:08:12. > :08:13.Check out Freddie's Eric Dier's technique there.
:08:14. > :08:15.Don't worry Joey I know you could have saved it,
:08:16. > :08:19.but you just let your older brother score, admirable.
:08:20. > :08:21.Next up, nine-year-old Tom couldn't find five people to stand
:08:22. > :08:25.in the wall for his Gareth Bale free Kick so he used a net instead.
:08:26. > :08:28.From over the net to back of the net.
:08:29. > :08:34.Here are some more are you to go out and practise after the show.
:08:35. > :08:36.It's our top five goals of the group stages.
:08:37. > :08:38.Is this the opener for the world champions?
:08:39. > :09:03.Hamsik, just brilliant from the best player on the field.
:09:04. > :09:04.A chance for Cristiano Ronaldo!
:09:05. > :09:24.Because for me, it's not all about long-range thunderbolts,
:09:25. > :09:26.team moves and headers can be just as skilful.
:09:27. > :09:29.But if you have a different view, that's great because football
:09:30. > :09:35.For instance, I think that not only has Payet scored the best goal,
:09:36. > :09:38.he also gets my award for player of the tournament so far.
:09:39. > :09:41.I mean, yeah, we all know this, don't we?
:09:42. > :09:44.We all know that France are great and Payet is amazing.
:09:45. > :09:47.Can I give out some alternative awards for the slightly
:09:48. > :09:55.Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the award show
:09:56. > :09:59.If your dreams are about niche football tournament trivia
:10:00. > :10:03.award shows, of course, yes, we have put the winners
:10:04. > :10:09.in the binners and given the golden boot the boot because this
:10:10. > :10:11.is The Footies, the only ceremony that honours the alternative
:10:12. > :10:15.And I can't do an award ceremony without a glamorous assistant.
:10:16. > :10:21.Super Victor, what's the first category, please?
:10:22. > :10:24.Our first category is the Golden Mic Award for outstanding
:10:25. > :10:29.endeavour in the field of football commentary and the award goes
:10:30. > :10:31.to the Icelandic commentator who managed to hold it
:10:32. > :10:34.together for all of 0.0.5 seconds as Iceland broke away to score
:10:35. > :10:36.the winning goal score the winning goal against Austria
:10:37. > :10:38.and qualify from their group.
:10:39. > :10:55.Composure, resonance and impartiality, none of them
:10:56. > :11:00.Let's just hope he doesn't have cause to do the same
:11:01. > :11:09.Yes, it's the biggest rip off award for the most questionable shirt
:11:10. > :11:13.of the tournament and whilst Spain almost snatched it with their second
:11:14. > :11:17.kit that looks like someone did a digital sick down the front of it,
:11:18. > :11:22.Whilst the Swiss didn't tear it up on the pitch during their nil-nil
:11:23. > :11:26.draw against France, the same can't be said
:11:27. > :11:29.I've designed these replacements which are more sturdy
:11:30. > :11:34.Look, oh actually, they're not, they are just about as
:11:35. > :11:41.Anyway, our final category Victor, please.
:11:42. > :11:45.Yes, it is the comfy keeper award which belongs to only one man.
:11:46. > :11:49.Not only is he the oldest player at the tournament at 40 years young,
:11:50. > :11:53.but Hungary's player insists on wearing his pyjamas every time
:11:54. > :11:56.he plays and for that, I love him.
:11:57. > :12:00.In fact, such as is his popularity in his home country,
:12:01. > :12:03.people turned up to work in their tracksuit bottoms
:12:04. > :12:07.to show their support and it is not just the Hungarians that like them,
:12:08. > :12:28.Right, back to the serious stuff and a team with a serious defensive
:12:29. > :12:31.record. Poland have been impresent trable and have serious fire power
:12:32. > :12:34.upfront. Many are tipping them as a dark horse in the competition and
:12:35. > :12:36.with almost one million Poland supporters right here in the UK, we
:12:37. > :12:53.had to go and find out more. This is the first time we went to
:12:54. > :12:57.the knock-out stages and it is really good because they play really
:12:58. > :13:01.well. COMMENTATOR: Poland can look forward
:13:02. > :13:04.to further adventures here in France. I'm really happy that Poland
:13:05. > :13:11.won the Northern Ireland match because that was the first ever win
:13:12. > :13:25.in the Euros for Poland. COMMENTATOR: And that beats
:13:26. > :13:36.McGovern! Poland score. Oh! Oh! My favourite player. I like his tricks
:13:37. > :13:46.and things like that. Antos is Poland's best defender. We like him.
:13:47. > :13:48.We eat these snacks every time there is a Polish match on and with our
:13:49. > :14:07.family we share it. That means Poland white and red. At
:14:08. > :14:12.2pm I'm going to watch Poland versus Switzerland. Come on Poland! And the
:14:13. > :14:17.good news for all you Poland supporters is our young
:14:18. > :14:21.international Kickabout fans are proving a lucky omen. Dar yo gave us
:14:22. > :14:25.the low-down on Albania. He travelled to France to watch his
:14:26. > :14:30.team play Romania and witnessed the most famous night in their history.
:14:31. > :14:34.Last week, we met Iceland fans who have seen their team beat Austria to
:14:35. > :14:39.book their place in the last 16. All of our country guide can be found on
:14:40. > :14:43.the Kickabout website where you can choose your dream five a side team
:14:44. > :14:46.and read about mine! I have had a shuffle after the group stages. Here
:14:47. > :14:58.is a little selection of who you have been choosing. My name is
:14:59. > :15:06.Frank. I'm a big Chelsea fan. Cristiano Ronaldo on the right
:15:07. > :15:10.left-wing. Payet because he scored two goals in the Euros. Upfront
:15:11. > :15:14.Harry Kane from England as he was a top scorer in the Premier League. So
:15:15. > :15:19.that's your lot. We are awe out of time. Enjoy the feast of knock-out
:15:20. > :15:24.football starting this afternoon and if the entertainment is anything
:15:25. > :15:33.like the group stages, we are in for another treat. See ya!
