I misread the least goals conceded question. I thought it said least goals scored in group stage.

I would like to change my answer from N. Ireland to France.

I'll make screenshots after the deadline.

@S: Assuming they both win their groups, yeah. BTW, one can nicely play through the Euro as one sees fit here: http://euro2016.eurosport.co.uk/
That way one can determine one's own final pairing.

BTW, at the Guardian there are several (!) writers who predict a Germany - France final, too: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jun/10/euro-2016-guardian-writers-predictions. Who knows... Maybe Switzerland will win Group A or Poland will top Germany's group

Yeah TBH Germany would do itself a big favor by coming in 2nd, weird as it is.
