In terms of winning the whole tournament Greece was probably a bigger surprise. Of course England were the favourites and Iceland beating them was an upset of sorts. England should be disappointed with their performance on the night whoever the oppostion.

I never argued that he had ability, as I said at the time, that was the only time I've seen him play. All I was saying was that I didn't think he was as bad, on the night, as people were making out. And given the names he was being called, I was surprised when I looked it up, that he has a pretty decent goalscoring record.

some judging him on the fact that he's not benzema, lacazette or gameiro i think

and tbf they'll have a point, its a baffling decision

France are about to get to a semi-final without a player who is a talented but complete troublesome prick and 2 strikers who have 2 goals in 16 caps between them

Deschamps has made a wise call in my view even if Gignac nothing special

He's not those players, but doesn't make him a pub player, or any of the other descriptions that were being used to describe him. I'm not saying he's good or bad, just that he has a goodish goal scoring record.

Pleased to see Eidur get a final hurrah for his country.

I know he got stick in the other game he played but he is 37 and was such a classly player at his peak for Chelsea.

Was linked to us a few times wasn't he?

Edit: Got fantastic reception from Stade de France, lovely to see.
