The dream has ended for Iceland. This morning's New York Times carried an article about the unlikely advance of this nation of 330,000 to the quarterfinals of Euro 2016. The bubble burst later in the day when France scored in the 12th minute and never looked back enroute to a 5-2 win at Stade de France in Saint-Denis before 76,863. Sam Borden has the story in the Times.
France moves on to face Germany, which squeaked past Italy in a shootout, in a semifinal match Thursday in Marseille. Portugal, which got by Poland in a shootout, will face Wales, a 3-1 victor over Belgium, Wednesday in Lyon in the other semi.
The final is Saturday in Saint-Denis.
