Germany vs. France Euro 2016 live stream: game time, TV channels, and how to watch online

By the end of the day today we’ll know who will play Portugal in the Euro 2016 finals, and it’s between the hosts and the World Cup Champions. Germany have looked great thus far in the tournament, but so have France. These two clubs have... uh, a little history, and the match up has the feel of a European final, not a semifinal.

With France playing at such a high level right now and with the home field advantage, they might just have the edge in this game. France is 13-1-1 in their last 15, but Germany won the World Cup and has basically reloaded in the two years since. There are also two outstanding keepers in this match, with Tottenham’s Hugo Lloris and Bayern’s Manuel Neuer.

This one should be fun, assuming both of them don’t decide to park the bus.
