Off we go for the second half.

Meanwhile, France have only lost one of their previous 10 games when leading at half time in the Euros (2-3 v Netherlands in 2000).
France 1-0 Germany
Listen, there's videos going round of a coming together between Antonio Rudiger and Paul Pogba in that first half.
The Germany defender is close in behind on the Frenchman and many are suggesting Rudiger has had a bite at him.
Very inconclusive from the footage I've seen, look it up and see for yourself.
What I can tell you is that if the referee has missed that, Uefa will surely want to look back on it after the game.

I never touched the ball last night at my five-a-side in Newcastle. I blame Kante.

France 1-0 Germany
Only Lilian Thuram (15), Zinedine Zidane (14) and Laurent Blanc (13) have started more matches for France at the Euros than Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris (12).
What company to be keeping. Still a relatively quiet night so far for Lloris. Germany are yet to have a shot on target.

Germany have looked more assured. I do believe there will be two or three good chances for them in the second half, so they are still in this game. They will not be panicking.

Meanwhile, Paul Pogba is having another worldie in a France shirt.
Nonchalantly taking a pass on his chest and spinning away.
France 1-0 Germany
Bit harsh that, don't think anyone can bounce back up straight away from taking a size 11 to the cheek.
Even Martin Keown on my feed said that would have hurt.
And he's nails, isn't he?

That was a blatant attempt to get Joshua Kimmich sent off.
France 1-0 Germany
Lucas Hernandez can continue and the 'home' fans are jeering him when he gets the ball.
Harsh, he got leathered by Joshua Kimmich.

I've been kicked in the face many times. If I had been kicked in the face like that I would still have been standing.
Lucas Hernández actually fouled Joshua Kimmich first.
France 1-0 Germany
A painful one for Lucas Hernandez, kicked on the side of the head following a battle with Joshua Kimmich.
Laced him right in the chops there, it was accidental.

That was a very good chance for Ilkay Gundogan. I thought the net was going to bulge. Paul Pogba actually pulled out of the challenge.
I think Gundogan was expecting it and then didn't connect properly.

Andrew Worby: I know he’s currently playing in Germany but I swear Kante is marking me whilst I watch. The man is everywhere.
France 1-0 Germany
That's a bad miss from Germany, it should be 1-1.
Serge Gnabry does well to keep the ball alive, hooking it back into the box but Ilkay Gundogan scuffs wide from 12 yards out.
Come on Gundo, I've got you in my fantasy team.

There was literally no skill at all. Kylian Mbappe just nudged it and ran. He needed someone to hang out.
France 1-0 Germany
Kylian Mbappe v Mats Hummels down the left - it's a mismatch.
Mbappe ghosts past the Germany defender but the low cross is blocked at the near post.
Any more of those one on ones and Hummels will be having nightmares tonight, he doesn't want to be dragged out there too often.
