Euro 2016 final: Portugal v France

in #by8 years ago

BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson is predicting the outcome of every game at the 2016 European Championship.

Lawro correctly forecast that France, his pre-tournament pick to win the tournament, would beat Germany in their semi-final, but wrongly thought Wales would beat Portugal and make Sunday's final.He picked the winner in two of the four quarter-finals, six of the eight last-16 ties and enjoyed a 42% success rate in the group stage, correctly guessing the outcome of 15 of the 36 games.The only group he failed to get a single result in was Group F, which saw Hungary and Iceland spring a surprise by finishing first and second.

   Before the tournament Lawro chose 11 of the 16 teams that went through to the first knockout stage.Along with more than 375,000 of you, Lawro is taking part in the new BBC Sport Predictor game. He is going head-to-head with pundits, presenters and commentators from across BBC Sport.He's doing well, but he is only in the running for a podium place - with a maximum of 40 points still to be won, commentator Alistair Bruce-Ball is certain of victory with one game to go. 

     Euro 2016 has not been a great tournament in terms of brilliant matches, but in terms of a spectacle, I just hope that France score early in the final.Even if they go behind, I do not think they will be in trouble in the same way Wales were in their semi-final.

      France have got more attacking weapons than any other team in the tournament and on top of that they have got momentum and home advantage.

      Many of the best players over the past month have been French and in Antoine Griezmann they have the player of the tournament. He is an outstanding number 10 but what I love about him is that he is perfectly happy to track back and work when he is asked to as well.

     I am convinced France will win but it is difficult to say whether this will be the start of a period of dominance for Les Bleus. Most of their talented attacking players are young, but it is hard to know how they will shape up as a team by the time the next World Cup comes round in 2018. 

  What about the predictions you guys? who will be champion
