Hal Robson-Kanu scored one of the goals of the tournament against Belgium

Hal Robson-Kanu put Wales into a major tournament semi-final for the first time in their history with a superb goal on Friday.

He was man of the match on Friday for a performance that included a Cruyff-like shimmy with his back to goal that opened up the space for him to give Wales a 2-1 lead in the second half after they had gone behind in an early Belgian onslaught.

"The ball's coming to my feet," the matter-of-fact Londoner said of the cross he received from Aaron Ramsey. "I was able to turn in the box and put it in the back of the net." Robson-Kanu who is out of contract will now have plenty of suitors after the Euros.

antoine Griezmann
Griezmann has been in very good for France in Euro 2016

Antoine Griezmann just edges out his team-mate Olivier Giroud to make the team. Both the France forwards had a wonderful match against Iceland with Griezmann grabbing one goal and two assists while Giroud grabbed two goals and one assist.

Griezmann has slowly found his best form as the tournament has progressed and France will be relying heavily on the Frenchman when they take on Germany in the semi-final.

Although the team has now been selected, we take a look at how the players line up and what formation they will play in in the next slide. We also pick the manager for this team.
