In Sunday's final match of the European Championship's quarterfinal round, Olivier Giroud scored twice (12', 59', that's him celebrating after his scored goal) as France halted Iceland's historic tourney run with a 5-2 victory. Next up for Les Blues is a Thursday semifinal match in Marseille against Germany (12:00 Noon Pacific Time).

The winner of that semifinal will face off with the winner of the Wednesday contest between Wales and Portugal at Lyon (12:00 Noon Pacific Time).

The semifinal winners will play in next Sunday's final at Saint-Denis (12:00 Pacific Time) with the winner of that game to play in next year's FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia.
