Day 22 - France vs Germany
The French will come into this semi-final game with confidence sky high. They absolutely destroyed Iceland, getting a load of goals in the process, and they really do have the Nation behind them. Giroud, Griezmann,, Pogba and Payet all scored and they must believe they can score again.
Germany overcame Italy on penalties in the quarter-finals, no mean feat, but they suffered a fair few injuries in the process. Gomes is out for the tournament and Khedira and Schweinsteiger are doubts for this game, all blows Low could do without in this big semi final clash against the home nation.
France, while they are incredible in attack, are also vulnerable defensively; Iceland scored against them, Ireland did in the game before that and the Germans will be confident they can breach Les Bleus defence. However, having already scored 11 goals this tournament, France will be confident they can get on the scoresheet and this is where I see the bet coming.
With the attacking talent both teams possess and this being the last knockout game before the final both teams will be going at it. And when one team bags, the other will have to attack even more, which has already seen both teams score in all 4 quarter final games. In this game I'm going for over 3.5 goals at 11/4. Whilst over 2.5 is obviously a safer option the blog is desperately clawing it's way towards overall profit, or more likely digging a bigger hole, but with the attacking talent on show I'm hoping for a seriously entertaining game
Day 22 - Over 3.5 goals 11/4
