Robben rooting for Germany

Arjen Robben is keeping his fingers crossed for Germany in the semi-final encounter with France. “I hope the lads make it to the final again, but it's going to be difficult. France are perhaps even slight favourites due to their home advantage,” the Dutch ace told the media. Robben added that anything could happen in Thursday's cracker. The Bayern pro predicts that the side who wins the semi-final tie in Marseille will also win the EURO. Robben has not followed the tournament so far. The 32-year-old revealed that he has spent time with his family and travelled to the US. “In between I checked the results, but didn't watch the matches. It was nice for a change,” said Robben, who is currently preparing for 11 July, when the Reds officially report back for pre-season training.
