Euro 2016 Pick 'Em: Semifinals: The Euro 2016 semifinals begin today at 3 p.m. EDT when Wales faces Portugal. After the quarterfinals, SportsFilter's pick 'em contest is led by Owlhouse, followed by Billsaysthis and Tron7. For this round, pick the winner of each game, the score of each game and one goal scorer per game.
I'm just about to hit the hay, but if anyone is doing the Euro 16 pick 'em, these are mine:
Portugal 2 Wales 1, Bale to score.
Germany 2 France 2, Germany to win on penalties. Griezmann to score.

Portugal 2, Wales 1. Ronaldo scores on a penalty after a James Collins takedown in the box.
France 2, Germany 1. Griezmann scores late for the win, set up by Payet.
I'm rooting for Wales, though.

I am impressed by the love shown here for Cymru, my mother's homeland.
But business is business.
