Preview , predictions and recap of past games .

Here is a game from 1982 . Most famous one of the games .

Germany will be without two Mats Hummels, Mario Gomez, Sami Khedira and possibly also Bastian Schweinsteiger, potentially ripping the heart out of a side who have looked occasionally impressive going forwards but who are yet to hit the heights they reached in winning the 2014 World Cup.

France, meanwhile, have no such issues - and if they perform as they did in a devastating first half against Iceland, they should have the beating of any team in the world. Yet Didier Deschamps' men have one big thing counting against them: after matches against Ireland and Iceland so far in the knockout stages, they have yet to face any of the tournament's heavy-hitters.

Germany, by contrast, had a tough battle against Poland in the group stage and come into the semi-finals off the back of an epic victory against Italy, who had been one of the finest teams in the tournament. Some pundits are making a big deal of the fact that France haven't beaten Germany at a tournament since 1958, but don't read too much into that. The bookies have made both teams joint favourites to make it to the final, and frankly that looks like a good call: this one is impossible to predict.

So its basically experienced players vs talented players. I would put my money on Germany, but I wont be surprised if France goes through. It is indeed one tough game to predict.
