Unbelievable...on day 19 we won a bet! Both teams scored in Germany vs Italy and the blog moves on to -7.87. Wow, inspirational stuff. Whilst I send a postcard to Mother to mark this day, day 20 thoughts are below
Day 20 - France vs Iceland
Well many thought this match on Sunday evening would be France vs England, but Iceland put paid to that as they frankly outperformed England and beat them 2-1 in the round of 16, once again knocking England out at the first knockout stage of International football. France looked up against it at half-time against Ireland, 1-0 down and struggling with the physical game Ireland were playing, but as Ireland tired in the 2nd half and France changed formation slightly Griezmann was able to thrive in his central role and score twice, leading to the progression of the host nation.
I fancy Iceland will attempt to play in a similar manner to Ireland in the first half, but if France are able to start the game in the way they finished against Ireland I think they will have too much for Iceland in the end. Griezmann was the difference in France's last game and I hope that he will be played in a more central role here, as he was in that 2nd half, as the French are a far more impressive team when this happens. And if it does I really fancy Griezmann to notch, and thus at 17/10 anytime goalscorer, he is the play on day 20
Day 20 -Griezmann to score anytime 17/10
