Watch Germany Vs. France UEFA Euro Semifinal Live Stream: Start Time, Preview For ‘Real’ 2016 Final


Germany faces host nation France in the second 2016 UEFA European Championship semifinal match, which will stream live from France and will, most experts and fans believe, determine the odds-on favorite to win the 2016 Euro final on July 10.

But first, two-time Euro winner France must take on the reigning World Cup champions Germany for the 28th time in their history, dating back to 1931, and including the period from 1952 to 1990 when the German team represented West Germany in what was then a nation divided by the Cold War.

France has won 12 of the meetings, historically, while Germany has won 10 with five draws. The last time Germany faced France, however, the game became unimportant as that night, November 13, 2015, was the night of the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris, which included bombs that exploded outside the Stade de France where the two teams were playing a friendly match.

When France and Germany last met in a major tournament, Germany eliminated France from the quarterfinals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The victory came 1-0 on an early header by Mats Hummels.

Hummels, however, will be one of three and possibly even four German starters sidelined on Thursday due to either suspension or injury, making France the favorite to oust the world champs and move on the final.

France come into the semifinal off a definitive destruction of the tournament’s Cinderella story, blowing away Iceland 5-1. Germany had a much more difficult time against perennial European power Italy, needing penalty kicks after a 120-minute 1-1 stalemate to advance to the semifinal.
