France still figuring out how to play without Giroud.

Cracking game, well the 2nd half at least.

Benzema's goal was brilliantly taken, Tielemans gave away a penalty to cap a horrid 10-15 mins of sloppy play from him for the equaliser, and France comeback completed by a great hit from Hernandez after Lukaku had a goal disallowed for offside.

Spain v france

italy v Belgium- rematch from the euros. Think Italy will win this one as well

[Dr. Gonzo]

Will this finally be the end of Roberto Martinez?

Funny to see Belgium lose so spectacularly after being in the drivers seat in the first half.

Should be. 
perhaps a new manager will bring out the best of the players like Mancini has done for Italy or flick did at Bayern 

or is Belgium forever underachievers?

Martinez has never been great when it comes to defence but he doesn't have a whole lot to work with. Kompany, Vermaelen, Alderweireld, and Vertonghen were all at their best at the same time a while ago and now two of them are done and the other two are close to done. Belgium are producing when it comes to the midfield and have Lukaku up front and have Courtois in goal but that defence is a massive weak point right now.
