Too small, too frail Antoine Griezmann defies his doubters

Too small. Too frail. No future in French football. Antoine Griezmann defied plenty of sceptics by becoming the highest scorer at the European Championship.

France’s hopes of a first title since Euro 2000 rest largely on the slim shoulders of Griezmann, who is on the small side for an attacking player at 1.76 metres (5-foot-9).

The 25-year-old forward scored with an excellent finish and set up two more goals as France swatted aside Iceland 5-2 on Sunday to set up a semi-final against Germany.
