Khedira out for Germany vs
To find out how to watch the Germany vs. France 2016 UEFA Euro semifinal on Thursday, see the streaming links below in this article.
Germany have already battled to beat one major power out of the Euro 2016 running, having knocked Italy out of the tournament on penalties following their 1-1 draw on Saturday evening.
He said: “I see France as small favourites now”. But In South Africa, I finished the World Cup as the top scorer. My gas is my hunger for success. “But we came through fine and now we’ll come through fine”.
Germany are now just two wins away from following Spain’s trend of winning two tournaments in a row. France hadn’t played their best through the group stage and outlasted Ireland in the Round of 16 but they really turned it up against Iceland and dashed any hopes of the Cinderella story continuing for the nation that had gripped the rest of the world.
“France had an outstanding game on Sunday against Iceland although they did struggle a bit at the start of the tournament”.
Khedira suffered a tear in his thigh and will miss the remainder of the tournament, Gomez injured his hamstring while Man Utd midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is a doubt for Thursday’s semi-final with a knee injury.
A look at some of the tactical choices for Germany coach Joachim Loew ahead of the European Championship semifinal against France.
“Griezmann is incredibly strong in one-on-ones and on the counterattack”, Neuer added.
“That’s not the prevailing mood in our squad”, he said.
“I don’t like focusing on a special player in the opposing team too much”.
[Ronaldo is] a fantastic player, everybody knows what he can do, but we speak about what we can do as a team.
With Germany having also played 120 minutes in their quarter-final triumph against Italy, France (.80) are understandable favourites to win on Thursday (Friday morning AEST) at bet365. Centre back Samuel Umtiti, playing his first global, was not totally commanding and Adil Rami, who was suspended, could return for the German game. Their whole front line is remarkable and they’ve got a great deal of quality.
Loew s cause for optimism over the Marseille semi-final is not obvious with three key players definitely ruled out, while captain Bastian Schweinsteiger is doubtful with a new knee injury. “And he has shown that is very unsafe with his headers in the box”. This injury make both uncertain in semi-final against France.
