IT WAS LABELLED AS THE FINAL BEFORE THE FINAL

STADE VELODROME IN MARSEILLE WAITED FOR WORLD CHAMPIONS GERMANY AND HOSTS FRANCE 

THE FRENCH CAME EXPECTING A VICTORY

BUT THE GERMANS WERE DETERMINED TO SPOIL THE PARTY

THE GERMAN PLAYERS LOOKED IN RELAXED MOOD

MAN UNITED TARGET, POGBA LOOKED SHARP

WARM UP TIME....

AND ALSO FOR THE GERMANS...

ALL WAS SET AS LA MARSEILLAISE AND DEUTSCHLANDLIED RANG AROUND THE STADIUM 

KICK OFF..AND FRANCE WERE ON THE FRONT FOOT FORCING NEUER TO MAKE A SAVE

GERMANY TOOK OVER AND LLORIS HAD TO MAKE TOP SAVES

MORE PRESSURE FROM GERMANY FORCING LAST DITCH TACKLES

AND NEUER WAS VIRTUALLY A SPECTATOR

BUT ON THE STROKE OF HALF TIME...THIS HAPPENED..

AND GRIEZMANN MADE NO MISTAKE UNLIKE THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL

PARTY AT HALF TIME FOR THE FANS WHO KNEW THEY HAVE NEVER LOST WHEN GRIEZMANN SCORED

SECOND HALF AND THE GERMANS WERE DESPERATE

THEIR FANS WERE FEELING THE HEAT

AND GRIEZMANN STRUCK AGAIN

PARTY ALL AROUND MARSEILLE

HEART BREAK FOR GERMANY

FULL TIME...AND FRANCE WERE HEADIND TO THE STAD DE FRANCE

SECOND STRAIGHT SEMIFINAL LOSS IN THE EUROS FOR GERMANY

THE MAN OF THE MOMENT TAKES A BOW

AS THE GUNNERS CONVERGE

POGBA SHOWS US THE WAY...SUNDAY..7:00 GHANA TIME IT IS...

BUT IT IS PARTY ALL NIGHT FOR THE FRENCH
