I get the feeling tomorrow is the defacto final between England and France.  I fancy either of them to go on and win it after today 

Wouldn't be so sure. While Croatia's bizarre ability to turn every game into extra time and Argentina's over-reliance on Messi are on thing, Morocco and Portugal are in wait and I'm not sure either will make for pushovers.

Watch Ronaldo win the world cup for Portugal with an injury time winner in the Messi v Ronaldo finale!

Is it just my nostalgia kicking in, or are most if these teams not at the level of those in the late 90s.

No it's not - sadly Croatia, Morocco and (nearly) Netherlands have proved that boring football is well and truly back! Try not to lose & only attempt to play football if you're one or two nil down with 10 minutes left!

I went to several matches in Euro 96 and countries were playing boring football, but it felt with better players.

I remember them saying Germany v France was the defacto final in Euro 2016. They also said France v Belgium was the defacto final in the last world cup, they were correct that time!

Did it ever go away? Euro 2004 was won by Greece, who played a militant brand of defensive football reliant on defensive set-pieces, although the idea that Greece have won more European Championships than England and Belgium, as well as the same number as Portugal and the Netherlands, is still quite something.
