A rampant France turned on the style against the Swiss, who were no slouches

In fact this game was not as one-sided as the scoreline suggests but Les Bleus were simply unstoppable

Of course it should have been 6-2 (or 7 had Benzema not missed a penalty) with the ref inexplicably blowing full-time (a la Graham Poll in 2006) when Benzema's cracking drive was on its way into the net. What a party pooper. FIFA would reinstate it if they had any sense

Just a shame the French had to meet Germany at the quarter-final stage

But exciting prospects ahead for them with the likes of Pogba, Matuidi, Sakho and Varane coming through

Great day (and night) out
