:00:55. > :01:01.. This is Johnathan Pearce. The host against the Magic makers of Iceland.
:01:02. > :01:08.Germany in the semifinals await the winners. We wanted to end like it
:01:09. > :01:14.did for Leicester City, and believe in fairy tales like Iceland. It is a
:01:15. > :01:20.meeting place between and a great night and an incredible story. The
:01:21. > :01:24.hosts, they have the target of a semifinal achievable and a
:01:25. > :01:30.magnificent clash with Germany. For Iceland, the wind would represent
:01:31. > :01:39.the most beautiful midnight sunshine for the land of ice and fire. Two
:01:40. > :01:43.changes with Rami and Kante band. -- serving aback. Umtiti becomes the
:01:44. > :01:54.first French outfield debut to and for French since 1966. Payet and
:01:55. > :02:05.Griezmann are the men in form. Lloris is well aware of the danger.
:02:06. > :02:10.They are telling themselves that we are the best and we have more
:02:11. > :02:18.Iceland, and if we think like that, we won't go through full -- through.
:02:19. > :02:21.Nine players on one yellow card, and very little space between defence
:02:22. > :02:30.and attack. Gylfi Sigurdsson has been one of the best passers in the
:02:31. > :02:35.tournament. They will note that the last people to beat France in a
:02:36. > :02:42.major tournament have gone on to win the tournament. France, all in blue.
:02:43. > :02:48.They will kick us off and under way for a place in the last four.
:02:49. > :02:50.Kicking from left to right. On a grisly evening, as it has been
:02:51. > :02:55.raining powers. Mark Lawrenson, which way will it go? It's a nice
:02:56. > :03:00.night for Iceland, because it is cold. Every time I have seen France,
:03:01. > :03:05.they have played with fear. If Iceland can make them play that way
:03:06. > :03:09.tonight, who knows? The main aim for the French, according to the media
:03:10. > :03:19.here, is to get players isolated with the full-backs, such as
:03:20. > :03:25.Severson. He looked a bit suspect against England when Rashford came
:03:26. > :03:33.on. Skulason on the left. An early trip on Griezmann. Bjarnason has had
:03:34. > :03:42.a good competition. A man they call thought. -- Thor. Dimitri Payet will
:03:43. > :03:47.take the free kick commerce who scored that wonderful winner on the
:03:48. > :03:57.opening night -- will take the free kick, who scored that wonderful
:03:58. > :04:05.winner. The centre halves are up Amat was a foul. -- and that was a
:04:06. > :04:11.foul. Sigurdsson went down. Wrestled to the ground by Pogba. He likes a
:04:12. > :04:43.foul in the box, doesn't he? Aron Gunnarsson. He had such a good
:04:44. > :04:45.game against Ronaldo. The Portuguese destroyed him playing for Malmo in
:04:46. > :04:56.the Champions League. Now Sigurdsson. In 11 games against
:04:57. > :05:02.Iceland, France have never been beaten. Six home wins out of six.
:05:03. > :05:06.Here is an opportunity for Berg Gudmundsson. I wonder how long he
:05:07. > :05:13.will be a Charlton Athletic player after their dismal campaign. I'm
:05:14. > :05:16.surprised he still is. There will be a fair amount of movement in the
:05:17. > :05:23.next three weeks after the tournament has ended.
:05:24. > :05:32.Sigthorsson is waiting on the edge of the penalty area, the number
:05:33. > :05:44.nine, who plays in France. He plays at Nantes. Gylfi Sigurdsson has had
:05:45. > :05:50.a really good competition, the Swansea player. It was a really
:05:51. > :05:57.untidy challenge by Umtiti. Very nervous. Not played even ten minutes
:05:58. > :06:01.of a friendly international. We had a chance to be on before the
:06:02. > :06:06.tournament, but France didn't use it. He sat on the bench in the warm
:06:07. > :06:18.up internationals, and that was against Scotland. Gunnarsson drops
:06:19. > :06:24.deep. That's where he's made 75% of his passes in the tournament.
:06:25. > :06:28.Sigthorsson, who scored against England, the Man of the Match
:06:29. > :06:38.according to Uefa against England. It does mean a lot. No great
:06:39. > :06:45.surprise about the early pace in the game. Pogba gets that one.
:06:46. > :06:55.Sigurdsson is away. A powerful, no-nonsense defender. Gylfi
:06:56. > :07:13.Sigurdsson. Syverson, the right back. -- Saevarsson. Lovely skill.
:07:14. > :07:17.There's one thing about this Iceland team, it -- if you are playing in
:07:18. > :07:18.it, you can close your eyes and know where every player is at that
:07:19. > :07:34.moment. There is a Umtiti. Just gone to
:07:35. > :07:38.Barcelona for 25 million euros. Only really in the squad because of
:07:39. > :07:52.injuries and Rami's suspension. Bacary Sagna, who has got better as
:07:53. > :07:58.the tournament has gone on, becoming one of the best full-backs ear. He
:07:59. > :07:59.should be with his experience. Here is Matuidi. -- one of the best
:08:00. > :08:17.full-backs ear. -- here. Pogba. Sissoko. Powerful in the game
:08:18. > :08:21.against Switzerland. I think if you look at the power that Sissoko,
:08:22. > :08:26.Matuidi and Pogba have in midfield, it is outstanding. Giroud. Sissoko.
:08:27. > :08:37.Payet. Space on the left. He will shoot. And it very nearly came back
:08:38. > :08:41.off Halldorsson. He has made more saves than anybody else in the
:08:42. > :08:42.competition so far Mattis 's first of what will be a busy night
:08:43. > :08:58.tonight. -- and that ease his first. The French fans matched the Iceland
:08:59. > :09:05.fans for the rhythmic chanting that has become a feature of the finals,
:09:06. > :09:10.the Icelandic Viking style chanting, which actually derives from
:09:11. > :09:16.Motherwell supporters, apparently. Something they did in a game in
:09:17. > :09:24.Europe a few years back. Sissoko. Touched off brilliantly by Giroud. A
:09:25. > :09:29.slippery knighthood goalkeepers. -- a slippery night for goalkeepers.
:09:30. > :09:42.Halldorsson does well, he reads the situation. Bjarnason.
:09:43. > :09:52.Gets in again, Bjarnason. So much pressure on Didier Deschamps. He has
:09:53. > :09:57.made big changes, bold changes in selection when he has needed to land
:09:58. > :10:01.in substitutions. I think he has stumbled on the Pogba and Matuidi
:10:02. > :10:11.thing through central midfield. What happened with Kante against the
:10:12. > :10:18.Republic of Ireland? Bodvarsson. Matuidi is there with him. That is a
:10:19. > :10:25.foul on Dimitri Payet Amat will be, will it, the first yellow card of
:10:26. > :10:30.the night? -- and that will be. They have to be very careful in their own
:10:31. > :10:33.box. They dive in a little bit. A bit of a warning for Aron
:10:34. > :10:56.Gunnarsson. He was a very good handball player
:10:57. > :11:03.in his youth, and France did beat Iceland to the gold medal for
:11:04. > :11:15.handball gold. Sad life. Here comes the great, rhythmic
:11:16. > :11:22.Icelandic clapping. And the French are trying to match it. It's
:11:23. > :11:27.haunting, isn't it? It is. You say comes from Motherwell supporters,
:11:28. > :11:35.but imagine the same sort of rhythmic chanting from the Vikings.
:11:36. > :11:41.You can't imagine it. Imagine them coming down your street. A famous
:11:42. > :11:54.battle near Newbury, King Alfred's men beating the Danish Vikings.
:11:55. > :12:00.Decent effort from Bjarnason. Starting brightly, Iceland. Got the
:12:01. > :12:07.shot away. Showing no respect, which is really healthy. There are the
:12:08. > :12:13.managers, Lars Lagerback, and Hal Grimson. And he takes over the job
:12:14. > :12:25.himself after the finals. He gives up his day job as a gent -- dentist.
:12:26. > :12:32.I thought he was just filling in. Urgh. Koscielny.
:12:33. > :12:46.Looking for Sagna. Sissoko very quick to clothes. -- close. Just a
:12:47. > :12:49.throw in. I thought it was gagged over a free kick but the assistant
:12:50. > :12:52.didn't flag. I think Iceland win the ball. A bit of a threat in terms of
:12:53. > :13:05.the tackle but he did actually win the ball.
:13:06. > :13:12.You say this is their fifth unchanged team? A very settled side
:13:13. > :13:17.and the first country to confirm their squad for the finals back on
:13:18. > :13:21.the 9th of May. Very, very settled. Some teams go around making six
:13:22. > :13:28.changes and things like that. They are the ones sat at home now. That
:13:29. > :13:40.was a scene -- that was a foul on Poyet, it seemed. -- Payet.
:13:41. > :13:57.Saevarsson. He plays his football in Sweden. Sigurdsson. One interesting
:13:58. > :14:10.the Premier League clubs, but he is 30 now. Plays in Russia. Bjarnason,
:14:11. > :14:21.at the back with Sigurdsson. Bounces awkwardly off Gunnarsson.
:14:22. > :14:28.Interesting French reaction to the defeat of England by Iceland, saying
:14:29. > :14:43.that England, even on a bad day, and it was a bad day, should have gone
:14:44. > :14:50.on to beat Iceland and it put Griezmann and Payet in a reflective
:14:51. > :14:55.mood. Here is Giroud. 1-0, France! Too much space, and he exploited it.
:14:56. > :15:01.12 minutes gone, and the host arrowhead. It's the first time they
:15:02. > :15:06.have led in the first half in the finals -- and the hosts are ahead.
:15:07. > :15:18.So much space I wondered if he was on or offside. Didier Deschamps grip
:15:19. > :15:24.side ahead. -- Didier Deschamps's side ahead. They had doubts about
:15:25. > :15:32.him before the tournament started, he was on their favourite son, but
:15:33. > :15:37.he is now. A really poor goal for Iceland to concede, but a great
:15:38. > :15:44.finish. In amongst the feet of the goalkeeper, very hard to stop. Nine
:15:45. > :15:50.goals in his last 11 internationals. We did the first game, and they
:15:51. > :15:55.booed him onto the pitch. This is the 68th game for club and country
:15:56. > :16:00.of a wearying campaign for him. France are ahead. But a Umtiti was
:16:01. > :16:06.outjumped there. Koscielny tidies up. Iceland have been here before
:16:07. > :16:11.though, haven't they? I don't think they will change at all the way they
:16:12. > :16:15.play, even though they are a goal down. Here comes the throw. They
:16:16. > :16:21.know what to expect. Will they defend the long throw better than
:16:22. > :16:32.England did? Arnason tries to lose his marker. Sigurdsson, and that is
:16:33. > :16:34.a French throne. Giroud was back in there helping out, say the French
:16:35. > :16:37.have obviously practised against these throws. The two suspended
:16:38. > :16:53.players there. This will be intriguing if France
:16:54. > :17:00.have an impressive night to the way that the team built in 1998 from a
:17:01. > :17:03.sluggish start. A slow burn in that competition and then they just
:17:04. > :17:08.became a runaway juggernaut and no one could stop them. Mind you, they
:17:09. > :17:13.had a fellow called Zinedine Zidane in the side. What a midfield that
:17:14. > :17:18.was. Emmanuel Petit, Patrick Vieira. Griezmann.
:17:19. > :17:31.Sissoko, to Griezmann. One back by Sigurdsson.
:17:32. > :17:41.Free kick given for the foul on the Nantes -based player. It was Pogba,
:17:42. > :17:47.and he originally lost the ball. Hasn't had a great time with Nantes,
:17:48. > :17:50.Sigurdsson, he nearly left in the January transfer window and he had a
:17:51. > :17:52.knee injury in the build-up to this competition. Scored against England,
:17:53. > :18:11.of course. Arcing it in. Little bit of a waste,
:18:12. > :18:15.isn't it? Especially after you've just conceded a goal. You want but
:18:16. > :18:19.the French defence under more pressure. If they watched Lloris in
:18:20. > :18:22.the warm up, you can understand why they are testing in. Yes, like the
:18:23. > :18:29.other day, he looked very, very nervy. I wonder if the pressure of
:18:30. > :18:35.captaincy in a major tournament on home soil is too much. Yes, apart
:18:36. > :18:39.from that it's all fine. Has won a number of his caps as captain. The
:18:40. > :18:42.only thing about him is that he has not really use the ball in
:18:43. > :18:54.distribution very well in this competition. Listen to this.
:18:55. > :19:02.Terrific atmosphere again. It's like being at a concert. Griezmann. What
:19:03. > :19:05.a different player he looks when he plays through the middle, rather
:19:06. > :19:12.than on the right where he started the competition. Back to Payet.
:19:13. > :19:21.Pogba has left foot in there. He might get a booking for this. No.
:19:22. > :19:29.He said it was his first one, but he just have the foul before by the
:19:30. > :19:32.touchline. Maybe he's taking into consideration the wet turf. They
:19:33. > :19:39.weren't allowed to train here last time. Didier Deschamps Lloris flew
:19:40. > :19:47.in by helicopter for the press conferences and so on.
:19:48. > :20:06.Gudmundsson. Saevarsson. Good play by Iceland. The writeback gets the
:20:07. > :20:09.ball, has want a chat of his feet and whips it in. Everybody knows
:20:10. > :20:17.what they are doing and attacks the second ball. No challenge on the
:20:18. > :20:24.keeper. They've had more challenges in the air than any other side at
:20:25. > :20:29.Euro 2016. England with the second highest number and Northern Ireland
:20:30. > :20:40.the first, and France, the fourth. That is Giroud.
:20:41. > :20:58.Sigthorsson comes to this. That way by Koscielny. Here is Pogba. Umtiti.
:20:59. > :21:12.Matuidi, to Payet. Sissoko has opened up the gap for Sagna.
:21:13. > :21:20.Really wretched night, weather-wise. I can't remember a summer tournament
:21:21. > :21:26.where it's been played like this. It's been played in the winter. Up
:21:27. > :21:38.to Griezmann, and that is a corner kick.
:21:39. > :21:48.First corner kick of the game. Here he is. Just under six foot tall, the
:21:49. > :21:56.22-year-old. Griezmann with the corner, and the long, long wait for
:21:57. > :22:09.a French goal weights -- ends for Paul Pogba. It's his first since
:22:10. > :22:15.October 2014 in French colours. And the underdogs have it all to do now
:22:16. > :22:20.against the hosts. If you said before the game what sort of goal
:22:21. > :22:24.Iceland would concede, you wouldn't pick the first or second. Very
:22:25. > :22:40.simple, easy goals for France to score. No one in with him. Valiant
:22:41. > :22:47.effort to keep it out on the line. Great leap from Pogba.
:22:48. > :22:58.Way above us, the second French goal.
:22:59. > :23:07.17 eye thought that was a corner kick given. Or was that a free kick
:23:08. > :23:33.-- 17 9/11. -- Sigthorsson. Hand ball. Iceland need to go ten
:23:34. > :23:41.minutes without conceding a third or else it will be game over. , shell
:23:42. > :24:06.me on the right of the centre-back. -- Salvatore Sirigu. -- Mesut Ozil.
:24:07. > :24:29.Fiery character. He will take the throw. The French are singing.
:24:30. > :24:36.Sigthorsson, away by Patrice Evra. 78 macro for Patrice Evra, he is 35.
:24:37. > :24:49.There was some doubt that he would play, he had a hand injury, he hurt
:24:50. > :25:00.fingers in the game against Ireland. Site now. -- Bacary Sagna. France
:25:01. > :25:03.had an early rhythm and are now well on top. There is an early release of
:25:04. > :25:26.pressure. Samuel Umtiti. Great pressure on the
:25:27. > :25:31.ball there, France playing in the comfort zone. They are dominating
:25:32. > :25:40.the ball, it is difficult for Iceland at the moment. Blaise
:25:41. > :25:53.Matuidi. Dimitri Payet. Blaise Matuidi a game. Arneson is with him.
:25:54. > :26:07.I hope he was not diving. He was a little bit. Great attacking of the
:26:08. > :26:14.ball. I think the guy on the line seemed to duck a little bit. The
:26:15. > :26:25.President likes it. There has been extra security because he is here.
:26:26. > :26:27.That would be an understatement. Samuel Umtiti has been so important
:26:28. > :26:45.for Lyon. They will miss him. Here comes a long throw. Gunnarsson
:26:46. > :26:50.with it. It has been a miserable 2016 for Cardiff, only four league
:26:51. > :27:03.starts for him. Chance for the long throw. I'm not gone. He should have
:27:04. > :27:07.scored. Brilliantly worked. Everyone knows what will happen, it is very
:27:08. > :27:15.difficult to stop it sometimes. Should have done better. He thought
:27:16. > :27:29.he was being impeded but he was not. Good pressure by Samuel Umtiti.
:27:30. > :27:37.Might not get many opportunities. He was a good coach, took Sweden to
:27:38. > :27:44.five finals in a row. Olivier Giroud taken quickly. Closed down by
:27:45. > :28:26.Gunnarsson. Site that could not keep it in play
:28:27. > :28:55.-- Bacary Sagna. Skulason. It is a way. Caught in
:28:56. > :29:07.possession, France are much sharper. Dimitri Payet. Dispossessed.
:29:08. > :29:17.Good chase out there. The French fans loved it.
:29:18. > :29:29.Dimitri Payet to Samuel Umtiti. Good play. Paul Pogba. Lovely ball to
:29:30. > :29:38.Olivier Giraud. Staying onside. Bacary Sagna coming up in support.
:29:39. > :29:48.Did not continue the run. Here is Paul Pogba. Blaise Matuidi. Didier
:29:49. > :29:52.Defago day shop played him to the right-hand side but it did not work
:29:53. > :29:59.early in the campaign -- the French manager.
:30:00. > :30:07.He has won that back again. Cissokho. Antoine Griezmann to the
:30:08. > :30:16.right-hand side. Held onto it too long. -- Moussa Sissoko. He did not
:30:17. > :30:40.want the ball. The Iceland supporters have been in
:30:41. > :30:48.great voice and they are chanting again now. They have it all to do.
:30:49. > :31:03.Giroud. Good challenge. A corner. They need to stick this one where
:31:04. > :31:04.they stuck the last one, when Paul Pogba at scored, do not do anything
:31:05. > :31:20.different. Who will attack Pol Pot but when he
:31:21. > :31:30.comes in? Zonal marking by the Iceland defenders will allow, shell
:31:31. > :31:36.me and Giroud to get end -- Laurent Koscielny. Dimitri Payet with the
:31:37. > :31:44.delivery, decent clearance. Dimitri Payet again. Skulason, the left-back
:31:45. > :31:57.is in front of him. Moussa Sissoko, Dimitri Payet. Has a look.
:31:58. > :32:01.Sigthorsson got it away. He is playing on, Laurent Koscielny was
:32:02. > :32:03.fouled. At that stage, he cannot bring back, the referee. The
:32:04. > :32:19.Arneson. -- Bjarnason. French fans do not
:32:20. > :32:31.like it, they think they should have had the free kick.
:32:32. > :32:39.Arnason had spells at Plymouth and Aberdeen and Rotherham.
:32:40. > :33:06.Bjarnason. Very good season with basil. -- Basle.
:33:07. > :33:13.Samuel TT with the challenge. We have not really seen him at all,
:33:14. > :33:41.Sigurdsson. -- Samuel Umtiti. Long throw by Aron Gunnarsson. Not
:33:42. > :33:51.too long. Slipped out of his hands a little bit. On this day in 2000,
:33:52. > :33:55.there were people in the centre of Paris celebrating the victorious
:33:56. > :34:01.Euro 2000 winners, they were celebrating by now. However we are
:34:02. > :34:09.not at the semifinal stage this time around. Your thoughts overall on the
:34:10. > :34:15.extended European finals. They have played an awful lot of games to get
:34:16. > :34:20.rid of eight teams, I think it is daft. Portugal could win this
:34:21. > :34:26.competition and not win a game in 90 minutes! Iceland being here has
:34:27. > :34:31.nothing to do with the extended competition, they are hereby rights,
:34:32. > :34:41.they beat Holland home and away, they had at mentis in qualifying.
:34:42. > :34:44.They invested money in pitches and indoor arenas, 639 coaches for 3000
:34:45. > :34:58.players. Moussa Sissoko did well. Dimitri
:34:59. > :35:04.Payet. To the Newcastle player, Newcastle for how much longer, one
:35:05. > :35:13.wonders. Dimitri Payet, Antoine Griezmann, a bit of space there.
:35:14. > :35:21.Blaise Matuidi. Dimitri Payet. They want to use them, bring him in now.
:35:22. > :35:32.Iceland holding their shape as they have done throughout the tournament.
:35:33. > :35:39.76,830 people here at the start to France. It is a wet and miserable
:35:40. > :35:46.July evening -- in the stadium. At least 10,000 from Iceland here, in
:35:47. > :36:02.Paris this evening. Space for Patrice Evra. Moussa
:36:03. > :36:09.Sissoko strayed offside. He disagrees.
:36:10. > :36:40.Sigurdsson with the big heave Ho. Won it eventually. France unbeaten
:36:41. > :36:50.in eight games. They look strong. Sigurdsson. To the fullback.
:36:51. > :37:01.Arneson. That is offside, Giroud, came from
:37:02. > :37:58.an offside position. It will take more than the chanting
:37:59. > :38:02.of the Iceland fans to bring them back into this. Ten minutes to go in
:38:03. > :38:26.the half. School arson. -- Skulason. Giroud to Moussa Sissoko. Paul pot
:38:27. > :38:35.but to Blaise Matuidi. -- Paul Pogba. France are 2-0 up, playing
:38:36. > :38:41.within themselves, Blaise Matuidi thought about the big one out to the
:38:42. > :38:49.right, no need, it is late in the half, keep it simple. They are
:38:50. > :39:00.working Iceland. Making it difficult for them to chase the game. Laurent
:39:01. > :39:12.Koscielny. Blaise Matuidi in now. The Cameron defender. Cameron born
:39:13. > :39:29.defender. Pol Pot but to Antoine Griezmann, could this be three? --
:39:30. > :39:32.Paul Pogba. Here is Sigurdsson. Brings in Bjarnason. Skulason, now
:39:33. > :40:01.Bjarnason. Very Conservative that from Patrice
:40:02. > :40:12.Evra. Giroud made a really good run. It has at the moment, the feeling of
:40:13. > :40:15.a training game. The Iceland players have coursing through them the idea
:40:16. > :40:18.they have done brilliantly well to get this far and maybe they will get
:40:19. > :40:34.no further. Laurent Koscielny. There will be
:40:35. > :40:39.many people back at home saying if France can beat Iceland this easily,
:40:40. > :40:48.why could England not do it? They would be right. Antoine Griezmann.
:40:49. > :40:55.Paul Pogba having a good night. Blaise Matuidi! That was swinging.
:40:56. > :41:01.You could see that he realised it was going to be on his left, he
:41:02. > :41:03.prefers his right foot, slightly panicked. Dimitri Payet, still
:41:04. > :41:21.managed to pick someone out. This is his 69th game in a
:41:22. > :41:28.meandering campaign for club and country, although they played
:41:29. > :41:33.friendly matches, they have played all the teams from the groups to
:41:34. > :41:56.make it more competitive. A throw to France.
:41:57. > :42:04.Bacary Sagna. Laurent Koscielny. It has to be said, the French have had
:42:05. > :42:09.a lot of things in their favour. We know they are the hosts, but the
:42:10. > :42:14.amount of time they have had in between games, very fortunate. One
:42:15. > :42:18.week since they played Ireland in their last game, it was a week
:42:19. > :42:25.before that after their previous match. Bacary Sagna scoops it,
:42:26. > :42:32.Giroud with the header, the keeper comes to claim it. Giroud was a
:42:33. > :42:40.little bit unlucky, he was under pressure from the two centre-backs.
:42:41. > :42:52.France unbeaten now in 16 games in major tournaments on home soil.
:42:53. > :43:00.Czechoslovakia beat them in the play-off in 1960 in the Euros. Five
:43:01. > :43:08.minutes to go. The French dominating the first half. They have had 62% of
:43:09. > :43:22.the ball and they lead 2-0. Skulason. Moussa Sissoko fouled him.
:43:23. > :43:48.He is a good piece of kit. Iceland need a hammer blow.
:43:49. > :43:52.Sigurdsson. The free kick. Tempting, teasing, O! Jittery. Hugo Lloris. I
:43:53. > :43:57.think he did that on purpose, he sees it late and it's gets up and he
:43:58. > :44:10.flicks it up to go at it for the second attempt.
:44:11. > :44:46.Sigurdsson, gave it away. Antoine Griezmann. Moussa Sissoko. Dimitri
:44:47. > :44:55.Payet. At Bacary Sagna has four to hit in the middle, Giroud is the
:44:56. > :45:02.target. 3-0. France as good as in the semi-finals. How simple was that
:45:03. > :45:12.goal. This time it was a very well worked goal. Nice interchange of
:45:13. > :45:13.passing. Really well worked goal by France. Two minutes before the
:45:14. > :45:32.break. The French flags are flying now.
:45:33. > :45:42.Dimitri Payet has surely close the door on Iceland. Early ball from
:45:43. > :45:45.Bacary Sagna, good leap by Giroud, nice touch by Antoine Griezmann, it
:45:46. > :46:02.is across the goal, difficult for the goalkeeper. Greasy surface have
:46:03. > :46:13.-- helps as well with the ball. He knows how important the third goal
:46:14. > :46:21.would be. The old rivalry against Germany game in the semi-finals. One
:46:22. > :46:28.game too many for Iceland. What a story it has been for them. The
:46:29. > :46:33.thing was, that is the first really well worked goal they have scored,
:46:34. > :46:41.the other two were very bog-standard in terms of how they scored them. It
:46:42. > :46:46.is the fifth goal in his last six internationals for Dimitri Payet. He
:46:47. > :46:53.was second in the Uefa form table behind Kevin De Bruyne. Lovely touch
:46:54. > :47:08.by Giroud. Antoine Griezmann is end. It is four! -- but -- is in. France
:47:09. > :47:10.find irrepressible form. They are 4-0 up against Iceland who have
:47:11. > :47:42.simply been blown away! This is real quality, great ball,
:47:43. > :47:47.Giroud does brilliantly for Antoine Griezmann and of all the people to
:47:48. > :47:51.get the chance to come to, you knew he was not going to miss. Two goals
:47:52. > :47:58.conceded, straight through the back of their defence.
:47:59. > :48:08.His 38th goal for club and country this season. What's all that about?
:48:09. > :48:14.Well, up until this moment they had only played 90 minutes once
:48:15. > :48:20.together, Payet and Griezmann, and they have both scored a goal in this
:48:21. > :48:24.45. Pogba and Giroud with the other two, and France are as good as in
:48:25. > :48:39.the final four as they lead by four goals.
:48:40. > :48:55.On comes Alfred Finnbogason, who's just completed a permanent move to
:48:56. > :49:01.Augsburg. And Ingason has come on for Arnason, and he's played just
:49:02. > :49:07.five bits of the competition so far. He has come on for a little spell
:49:08. > :49:11.against Austria before -- five minutes. A lovely spin by Payet at
:49:12. > :49:21.the start of the half for France. It stirs the ground. They can afford to
:49:22. > :49:28.showboat at 4-0. Just give you some indication Iceland's task. In the
:49:29. > :49:35.whole competition so far, France have only allowed four shots on
:49:36. > :49:38.their target in all the games. I saw Finnbogason play for real Sociedad,
:49:39. > :49:45.and to be honest with you, he couldn't hit a barn door when I saw
:49:46. > :49:51.him. They sent him out on loan in Fairbridge Augsburg. Seven clubs in
:49:52. > :49:58.seven different countries for him. Evra. Payet. Matuidi.
:49:59. > :50:06.When it comes to pick the best 11 of the competition, surely Matuidi will
:50:07. > :50:14.be in there. On to Griezmann. Matuidi.
:50:15. > :50:21.Such a difficult game now. What has the manager said to them at
:50:22. > :50:28.half-time? Come on, lads, keep going? The France, that they take
:50:29. > :50:35.Koscielny and Giroud of? Yellow cards go after tonight, if they pick
:50:36. > :50:39.one up here, they would be suspended until the final. The two of them,
:50:40. > :50:48.with the way the scoreline is at the moment, just don't go near any
:50:49. > :50:56.challenges, literally. Evra. Umtiti, settled in the game. Looked nervy
:50:57. > :51:03.earlier on. Stade de France, European Championship posts, making
:51:04. > :51:10.your baby. -- making your debut. Big games will come for him in Spain
:51:11. > :51:14.this season. If and when France go through, Germany, that is a whopper,
:51:15. > :51:26.isn't it? And they will be looking at the fact that Mario Gomez is out,
:51:27. > :51:33.and Khedira and Schweinsteiger are major doubts. And they can't take
:51:34. > :51:40.penalties any more. That was unbelievable.
:51:41. > :52:12.They use to 20 players in qualifying and have used the same starting XI
:52:13. > :52:17.every game here, and those players can be justifiably proud. They have
:52:18. > :52:20.given Iceland its greatest ever footballing experience. Sigthorsson
:52:21. > :52:24.with a little header on. Matuidi. France playing around
:52:25. > :52:57.Iceland. Here is Griezmann. How many passes in this move? Evra.
:52:58. > :53:06.Matuidi. Griezmann is around the corner.
:53:07. > :53:20.Sissoko. Griezmann. Payet. Well, what a goal that would have
:53:21. > :53:29.been, probably 20 touches against one from Iceland, which probably set
:53:30. > :53:33.up Payet. A move that remind me in Argentina in 2006, can't remember
:53:34. > :53:41.who they were playing, but it was wonderful. Was it Macho Rodriguez? I
:53:42. > :53:47.should remember, I was there. Well really? Didn't he go on loan to
:53:48. > :53:56.Liverpool at some stage? Yes, he's in Serbia now. Who said that?
:53:57. > :54:14.Sigurdsson. Skulason. Gylfi Sigurdsson. He hasn't really been at
:54:15. > :54:21.the races today. Can you imagine the possession stats for the second half
:54:22. > :54:30.alone, forget about the first half? Damage limitation now for Iceland.
:54:31. > :54:44.Before the game, the joint manager said that they wanted it to end as
:54:45. > :54:48.it ended for Leicester City in the Premier League. Well, it won't end
:54:49. > :54:55.that way, but they can go out holding their heads high. The scalp
:54:56. > :55:01.of England under their belts. And what people will make of this at
:55:02. > :55:06.home, you can understand, Mark, they will be thinking, how on earth did
:55:07. > :55:10.it happen? How can France tear Iceland apart when England couldn't?
:55:11. > :55:19.Same story from two years ago, is it not? The French players today,
:55:20. > :55:24.knowing the job they had to do. Griezmann, playing in a deeper role,
:55:25. > :55:39.that he loves to play in. One back by Pogba and he lets fly.
:55:40. > :55:45.They talked of stress before the opening game against Romania, but
:55:46. > :55:51.they've have showed no such worries tonight. They got the early goal.
:55:52. > :55:54.Until the finals they had actually forged a habit of scoring early, in
:55:55. > :56:04.the opening ten minutes of matches, in the build-up games. Gunnarsson.
:56:05. > :56:12.Towards Alfred Finnbogason. Lost is man. Brings in Gudmundsson. -- lost
:56:13. > :56:18.his man. Needed to bang it in, but he tried to place it.
:56:19. > :56:25.They will still be heroes when they get back to regulate. And they were.
:56:26. > :56:32.Have a great night to night, the Icelandic supporters. We were with
:56:33. > :56:36.them in a bar the other night, and one guy said he was one of the
:56:37. > :56:40.eight. I think he was a bit eight over the eight, and still counting.
:56:41. > :56:56.I think, as you alluded to before, the biggest decision for Didier
:56:57. > :57:07.Deschamps is who and when to take the players off. Cygnus, and he
:57:08. > :57:22.played every minute of qualifying and has had a good tournament.
:57:23. > :57:31.Ingason. A man who had to double up as a part-time stadium odd job man,
:57:32. > :57:36.Ingason. And the goalkeeper has only been a full-time professional
:57:37. > :57:44.footballer for four years. He was the man that directed the Icelandic
:57:45. > :57:47.Eurovision video in 2012. Never Forget, it was called. Interesting
:57:48. > :58:00.to note that the French gave them zero points.
:58:01. > :58:06.Saevarsson. It's the Icelandic fans you can hear singing. They have sung
:58:07. > :58:15.this haunting melody before the game had started. No idea what the words
:58:16. > :58:26.mean, but it is something special to them. The amp alone, that was
:58:27. > :58:36.haunting. -- the anthem alone. It was terrific.
:58:37. > :58:41.Matuidi Bijan by Gylfi Sigurdsson. -- beaten. He gets back at him.
:58:42. > :59:06.Iceland throw. Gudmundsson will hurl it in towards
:59:07. > :59:16.the near post. Sigthorsson is in there. Calm defending by Evra.
:59:17. > :59:26.Aaron Gudmundsson. Gylfi Sigurdsson. Lovely ball in, and they have one
:59:27. > :59:27.back. Sigthorsson at the near post. Actually, it's a really well worked
:59:28. > :59:44.goal, this. Came from a throw in. Lovely ball
:59:45. > :59:54.in, and a super finish. Across his marker, and a toe poke against Hugo
:59:55. > :59:56.Lloris. The Germans will have noted that. He can applaud it. It might
:59:57. > :00:01.just be a consolation. Sigthorsson's second of the
:00:02. > :00:17.competition. A long-range effort stabbed in by
:00:18. > :00:31.Paul Pogba. I think Griezmann was moaning at him
:00:32. > :00:39.not to have a shot, telling him to pass the ball. It is interesting
:00:40. > :00:43.that the first thing that has gone against them in the game has
:00:44. > :00:52.produced a little bit of finger wagging between team-mates. Payet
:00:53. > :00:58.with the touch. Matuidi. Griezmann. Giroud. Opening up on the right.
:00:59. > :01:04.Well played. The pace on the ball will beat Sagna.
:01:05. > :01:16.He will remember the day he scored against France in the mighty Stade
:01:17. > :01:22.de France. That is a poor challenge. Has he really caught him, that's the
:01:23. > :01:28.question I would like answered. He is saying not. This will tell us.
:01:29. > :01:35.Well the food came over the top, and he let it go a bit higher up his
:01:36. > :01:41.leg. Yes, he went to catch him but I'm not sure he actually did, but
:01:42. > :01:50.the intention was very much there. And he will miss their next game.
:01:51. > :02:04.Their next in European Championship football. When is that? Another 27
:02:05. > :02:07.years? Giroud is OK. We have no doubts.
:02:08. > :02:17.Payet then is it in. Giroud is in there. France with a fierce. Brave
:02:18. > :02:25.header, this. This is all about Giroud. Great Pavilion from Payet.
:02:26. > :02:34.-- great ball in from Payet. Brilliant delivery. Purposeful
:02:35. > :02:35.centre forward on the end of it. The biggest scoreline of the competition
:02:36. > :02:55.so far. Well, this is tailor-made for him.
:02:56. > :02:57.So good attacking the ball. Much maligned in some quarters, Giroud,
:02:58. > :03:03.but look at that, no doubt whatsoever. He scrawled a similar
:03:04. > :03:05.goal against Romania in the first game of the competition where the
:03:06. > :03:11.goalkeeper for Romania was all over the place again, just like the
:03:12. > :03:16.Icelandic goalkeeper. He is much maligned but he has 34 goals for
:03:17. > :03:22.club and country this season. He has ten in 11 games for France. That is
:03:23. > :03:28.in recent months. He is becoming the prodigal son. They booed him on the
:03:29. > :03:41.opening night. They are giving him a standing ovation now. Those are not
:03:42. > :03:45.booze you are hearing, they are Girouds. He is on a tournament
:03:46. > :03:51.yellow, so a sensible move by the manager. I'm comes gig knack. -- on
:03:52. > :04:05.the comes Gignac. Gudmundsson tried a shot.
:04:06. > :04:14.Sigthorsson. Saevarsson. It comes Aron Gunnarsson. The man from
:04:15. > :04:20.Cardiff City. Also, Matuidi got caught and he's just gone down now.
:04:21. > :04:28.He didn't get up straightaway. I think he got a bit of a knock. 5-1.
:04:29. > :04:31.They won't want to take any risks with Matuidi, that's for sure. He's
:04:32. > :04:42.not moving too well. Gunnarsson with the throw. Oh, that
:04:43. > :04:48.is hooked over the bar. The substitute was there, Finnbogason.
:04:49. > :04:52.There really is an end product from these throw ins. There seriously is.
:04:53. > :05:07.Oh, yeah. He got a kick. Accidental, it must be said. And he didn't make
:05:08. > :05:16.a massive deal of it as well. Evra with the header. Gunnarsson. Blocked
:05:17. > :05:28.by Matuidi. Gunnarsson. Gudmundsson. Saevarsson. Finnbogason. Who is in
:05:29. > :05:40.there? Matuidi. He gets through so much work for
:05:41. > :05:50.club and country. PSG they talk about Zlatan but Matuidi is the man
:05:51. > :06:05.who glues it altogether. Payet. Gunnarsson. Gudmundsson. Back to the
:06:06. > :06:09.captain. Saevarsson. Cauna ball. -- A Cauna ball. Threatening a bit,
:06:10. > :06:25.wasn't it? He has not tweaked something, has
:06:26. > :06:33.he? Diving forward. Maybe just wanted some sympathy for a rank, bad
:06:34. > :06:37.header. Their first corner of the game. Gudmundsson will take it.
:06:38. > :06:45.Brilliant save, Lloris. Astounding goalkeeping. And an astounding save.
:06:46. > :06:50.Well, the Germans will be watching this with interest. Free header yet
:06:51. > :06:54.again. It is an outstanding save by Lloris, but the number of times the
:06:55. > :06:58.ball has come in the box and caused all sorts of problems. They look for
:06:59. > :07:06.Ingason. Lloris got there again, but only just. Finnbogason. It is a
:07:07. > :07:07.throw, but it was a terrific effort on goal by the substitute
:07:08. > :07:38.centre-half, initially. Oh, that hit a hand. It came off his
:07:39. > :07:43.foot though, didn't it? They are breaking away and with pace. Gignac.
:07:44. > :07:50.Sissoko calling for it on the far side. He was never ever going to
:07:51. > :07:51.pass, Gignac. He had just got his head down. He was always going to
:07:52. > :08:03.shoot. Rules spirited, Iceland. 5-1 down
:08:04. > :08:11.and still going for it. Here is Payet. Poor ball. I was watching
:08:12. > :08:16.France, defensively, and when the ball came out from the throwing
:08:17. > :08:17.before they did not push up, they all sat in there and they invite all
:08:18. > :08:35.sorts of trouble. Finnbogason, little touch on for
:08:36. > :08:42.Gudmundsson. Here is Griezmann. He's had a terrific night. Sissoko with
:08:43. > :09:25.power. Opening the gates. You have to admire their work ethic,
:09:26. > :09:27.Iceland, it's fabulous. The rhythmic chances now from the French
:09:28. > :09:36.supporters behind the Icelandic goal. -- the rhythmic chanting.
:09:37. > :09:38.Skulason. That's a good break. And a foul by Gudmundsson. He is not
:09:39. > :10:00.happy. Handball or not handball? No. It
:10:01. > :10:08.might as well bin basketball, he's saying, but I think is exaggerated.
:10:09. > :10:19.-- as well have been basketball. Decent playing career in Iceland. He
:10:20. > :10:31.played for 20 odd years. Bjarnason. Gylfi Sigurdsson. Finnbogason.
:10:32. > :10:40.Koscielny was back there. Griezmann was foul. -- fouled. Well, the
:10:41. > :10:45.French might be winning 5-1, but there are some whispers about them
:10:46. > :10:49.defensively. They are finding it a little bit harder.
:10:50. > :11:04.All the flair in the world will not beat Germany if you can't defend.
:11:05. > :11:16.Gudmundsson. Finnbogason, but it didn't come to him. Payet. Sissoko.
:11:17. > :11:21.Matuidi will attack that in the air. Gignac.
:11:22. > :11:28.For a striker, it's as though he wasn't expecting the ball to come to
:11:29. > :11:33.him in the box. You're going to tell me now he plays in Mexico and he
:11:34. > :11:38.scored 83 goals in 17 games. He plays in Mexico and has scored 32 in
:11:39. > :11:58.49 games. Now at the midway mark in the second
:11:59. > :12:07.half. Gunnarsson. Saevarsson. Arnason. Ever industrious.
:12:08. > :12:35.Think it should have been a Cauna. -- a corner.
:12:36. > :12:41.The other thing about Iceland, rightly or wrongly, they still keep
:12:42. > :12:48.two players up. They have a foul here. I think the French are about
:12:49. > :12:56.to make a change shortly. I don't know who. Gunnarsson was foul there.
:12:57. > :13:33.-- Bjarnason. France making a breakaway. Here's an side. Still
:13:34. > :13:41.going, Kelly put it back? -- can heave. He did think about shooting
:13:42. > :13:46.and Dimitri Payet had a look and tried to go past the defender to
:13:47. > :13:54.make the chance for someone else. The rain is lashing down again. It
:13:55. > :14:07.is slippy and a bit stumble E. Off the goalkeeper's leg. Third French
:14:08. > :14:15.corner of the night. Samuel Umtiti at the back. Dimitri Payet. Ingason.
:14:16. > :14:48.Finnbogason completes the clearance. The question for France, Kante will
:14:49. > :14:56.be back for the Germany game, where will they want to play Paul Pogba
:14:57. > :15:03.and Blaise Matuidi. They might play them in a tight three but then what
:15:04. > :15:08.do you do with Griezmann. You want him in a central area. He says he
:15:09. > :15:13.wants to play in the number then roll and I think he has earned the
:15:14. > :15:26.right to do so. Laurent Koscielny being protected. He is on a yellow
:15:27. > :15:57.card, just like Giroud. He will be replaced by Eliaquim Mangala.
:15:58. > :16:10.It will be interesting now, to see how the centre-backs cope.
:16:11. > :16:23.The other thing as well, I think they should take Griezmann off. 5-1
:16:24. > :16:32.up, they can afford to make the change, Finnbogason. He is the top
:16:33. > :16:38.goal-scorer. Andre-Pierre Gignac. Plenty of white shirts back now. A
:16:39. > :16:42.bit sluggish getting forward in support, Blaise Matuidi. Paul Pogba
:16:43. > :17:03.is there. First touch of the tournament for
:17:04. > :17:23.Eliaquim Mangala. Fouled by good person. He is laughing -- 39-macro.
:17:24. > :17:37.It is funny. --, sand. -- Aron Gunnarsson. Blaise Matuidi. Bacary
:17:38. > :17:46.Sagna. Three outfield players have not made an appearance in the
:17:47. > :17:57.competition for France, including Digne and Morgan Schneiderlin. It
:17:58. > :18:00.will be interesting to see if Morgan Schneiderlin will be used at
:18:01. > :18:11.Manchester United this year. Blaise Matuidi, that is a tired ball.
:18:12. > :18:32.Samuel Umtiti. He hit him with his right hand!
:18:33. > :18:49.A good night for David Dein and his coaching team. -- 29-macro. --
:18:50. > :19:23.Didier Deschamps. Aron Gunnarsson. Another throw in
:19:24. > :19:40.torpedo. Sigurdsson in there as well. He comes close for the ball.
:19:41. > :19:50.Saevarsson. Paul Pogba shields it out.
:19:51. > :19:56.Paul Pogba has some potential. He is a long way from being the finished
:19:57. > :20:04.article but he has masses of potential. The French public have
:20:05. > :20:09.their reservations about the team, they think they are immature. They
:20:10. > :20:21.want to idolise them, but they are reserved at the moment. Skulason.
:20:22. > :20:29.Caught by Antoine Griezmann. He got away with that. I thought he nicked
:20:30. > :20:32.it from Antoine Griezmann. Blaise Matuidi with the header. Here is
:20:33. > :20:52.Paul Pogba. Handball. A little warning for Finnbogason.
:20:53. > :21:08.That was unnecessary, Paul Pogba was coming out with the ball.
:21:09. > :21:30.Moussa Sissoko. Antoine Griezmann. Has the freedom of Paris. Opening up
:21:31. > :21:39.the gap to Dimitri Payet. Bjarnason clears. Finnbogason. Has possession.
:21:40. > :21:45.No communication there, lacked a bit of awareness, I think. Was not
:21:46. > :21:50.expecting to get challenged on a football pitch!
:21:51. > :22:24.Patrice Evra, caught in possession. 79-macro. Bjarnason. Decent ball in
:22:25. > :22:29.the middle. -- Sigthorsson. Good play by Bacary Sagna. Sigurdsson
:22:30. > :22:38.looking for the return. A stretch. Moussa Sissoko. Gave it away.
:22:39. > :22:55.Skulason. Sigurdsson. Great challenge. Mangala. Really quickly.
:22:56. > :23:08.Kingsley Coman is going to come on for France any moment.
:23:09. > :23:20.Andre-Pierre Gignac, bundled over. What do you reckon? Antoine
:23:21. > :23:42.Griezmann? Dimitri Payet is going to come off.
:23:43. > :23:49.One of the French players of the tournament, one of the players of
:23:50. > :23:57.the tournament, replaced by Kingsley Coman who picked up a bit of a knock
:23:58. > :24:15.against the Republic of Ireland. He has got bags of pace. Patrice Evra.
:24:16. > :24:23.Kingsley Coman came on against Ireland as a substitute and was
:24:24. > :24:28.substituted with an ankle injury. Blaise Matuidi.
:24:29. > :24:49.Paul Pogba. I think there is no doubt that the semifinal for France
:24:50. > :24:54.against Germany will ask the biggest questions of this team. They set
:24:55. > :25:01.themselves a target of a last four place. And that target will be
:25:02. > :25:12.achieved and then the pressure will ease away from them.
:25:13. > :25:25.Here is Patrice Evra. Gudjohnsen is coming on for Iceland. I would
:25:26. > :25:34.imagine this is a farewell at the age of 37, their record goal-scorer.
:25:35. > :25:40.Champions League winner with Barcelona and won a couple of titles
:25:41. > :25:52.with Chelsea, has had a great career. Paul Pogba. Blaise Matuidi,
:25:53. > :26:00.just over eight minutes to go. Kingsley Coman, goes to return. The
:26:01. > :26:04.touch was heavy. Needs support. Still got the cross in. Aron
:26:05. > :26:24.Gunnarsson crosses it out. He is looking for at Sigthorsson who
:26:25. > :26:33.is fouled by Mangala. On for his ADA cap for Iceland and very probably
:26:34. > :26:39.his last, Gudjohnsen. He replaces Sigthorsson who has done well in the
:26:40. > :26:49.last two games and has always been a willing battler. Look at the
:26:50. > :27:02.reaction. He gets the armband. And he gets on the ball. He brings in
:27:03. > :27:21.Sigurdsson. Then comes the cross and they have got another one. Spirited
:27:22. > :27:30.to be a hand. Bjarnason. -- spirited to the end. Very simple as well.
:27:31. > :27:35.Kept his eye on the ball, it looked like it would not reach, really good
:27:36. > :27:38.finish, yet again for the French, and another question mark about
:27:39. > :27:46.their defensive qualities or lack of. Germany are watching. They will
:27:47. > :27:49.need better defending than that to say in the competition. France look
:27:50. > :28:05.for Kingsley Coman from the restart. It is funny, if you have said before
:28:06. > :28:09.the start of this game that Iceland would score twice tonight, they
:28:10. > :28:13.would have carried you away in a white van! Patrice Evra with the
:28:14. > :28:35.throw. Blaise Matuidi. Good touch from Andre-Pierre Gignac,
:28:36. > :28:40.Antoine Griezmann, Moussa Sissoko is on the edge of the box, Kingsley
:28:41. > :29:01.Coman, head down, wasted opportunity. It was.
:29:02. > :29:14.Five minutes to go. Iceland have scored four goals against England
:29:15. > :29:16.and France in their last two games. What an adventure it has been for
:29:17. > :29:50.them. Here is Antoine Griezmann. Moussa
:29:51. > :30:09.Sissoko. Dear oh dear. He scalped it, completely. Aron Gunnarsson.
:30:10. > :30:21.He still lost his footing, it was cleared away, just by Mangala. Good
:30:22. > :30:27.play in the end, but the decision-making of Hugo Lloris is in
:30:28. > :30:36.question. Should he have come, should he have stayed? He should
:30:37. > :30:41.have stayed! The Iceland corner, can they get a third? Because every time
:30:42. > :30:43.it goes into that box, the French defence is unconvincing and they
:30:44. > :31:01.have another corner. Iceland now have more corners in the
:31:02. > :31:11.game and France! He takes it, just did enough there, did Mangala to
:31:12. > :31:20.stop Ingason. I am sure there was a hint of a foul.
:31:21. > :31:25.They would have taken their foot off the pedal in the second half at 5-1
:31:26. > :31:44.up. I think they know there are doubts
:31:45. > :31:50.about them defensively. Smiling there, but they know there is harder
:31:51. > :31:57.work to be done to beat Germany. You can see him thinking, flipping heck!
:31:58. > :32:11.Coverage more ground, had more of the ball, more attempts on goal and
:32:12. > :32:21.more goals, but not utterly convincing.
:32:22. > :32:43.Paul Pogba. Patrice Evra. Sloppy. Paul Pogba was fouled.
:32:44. > :33:01.He did not make a great deal of it, in fairness to him.
:33:02. > :33:13.Into the last minute. Sigurdsson. Bjarnason.
:33:14. > :33:35.Bjarnason, there is a suspicion there that he was pushed. Blaise
:33:36. > :33:42.Matuidi. Patrice Evra forward to Kingsley Coman. Antoine Griezmann.
:33:43. > :33:48.He thinks about bringing in Moussa Sissoko and does not and the chances
:33:49. > :33:53.gone. I think he was waiting for Moussa Sissoko to make some kind of
:33:54. > :33:58.threatening runs, he looked at him as if to say, what are you going to
:33:59. > :34:01.do with it? Two minutes of stoppage time at Stade de France. Great
:34:02. > :34:11.performance by Antoine Griezmann. Gudjohnsen. Finnbogason. Sandro. --
:34:12. > :34:36.Skulason. Given away. Antoine Griezmann,
:34:37. > :34:38.Andre-Pierre Gignac. Ingason. Did not have the greatest of touches
:34:39. > :34:54.there, Andre-Pierre Gignac. And still they work. And still they
:34:55. > :35:08.forage. Wonderful advert for what hard work, dedication, team spirit,
:35:09. > :35:16.shape can achieve. And belief. Sigurdsson. Bjarnason. Loses out.
:35:17. > :35:22.They are weary. Here is Blaise Matuidi.
:35:23. > :35:29.Half a minute left of stoppage time, brilliant switch, Andre-Pierre
:35:30. > :35:36.Gignac. One of the best passers of the night. That the -- Kingsley
:35:37. > :35:38.Coman, Antoine Griezmann, blocked. A ball only. This will be the end of
:35:39. > :36:07.it. For Iceland, the bold, enticing
:36:08. > :36:17.adventure is over. France go on to meet Germany in the semi-finals of
:36:18. > :36:22.Euro 16. Antoine Griezmann among the scorers, two for Olivier Giroud, but
:36:23. > :36:27.Sigurdsson and Bjarnason scored for Iceland, spirited as ever, but for
:36:28. > :36:29.them, the adventure comes to an end and France, the hosts, in the last
:36:30. > :36:36.four. France five, Iceland two.
