  • Griezmann fired a brace to see off the Republic of Ireland.

    The Atletico Madrid star scored twice in four minutes as France came from behind to claim a 2-1 win over ten-man Republic of Ireland on Sunday.

    The goal hero said tough half-time words were exchanged at half-time to lay on the last 16 victory that means France face England or Iceland in the Stade de France quarter-final next Sunday.

    Griezmann underlined a superb performance as the main strike threat with two knockout goals in the second-half as the hosts floored the Irish.

    It was “annoying” to go behind Griezmann said. “In the dressing rooms, we had words and that brought out a different French team.”
