German stars Bastian Schweinsteiger and Lukas Podolski celebrated International Kissing Day in Marseille on Wednesday. World champions Germany play France in a mouth-watering Euro 2016 semi-final on Thursday.
International Kissing Day was established in 2006 to focus on the kissing that takes place between lovers and to celebrate the place it holds in our society.

Schweinsteiger, especially, will know a bit about love and kisses. The 31-year-old mid-field general has been romantically linked with tennis star Ana Ivanovic.
Schweinsteiger has not shied away from public display of affection for his 28-year-old Serbian girl-friend, who is considered one of the sexiest on the tennis circuit.
As Germany take on France on Thursday, Schweinsteiger, who was a doubtful starter with a knee strain, is now back to training. France are unbeaten in their last nine games, while Germany have not lost in their last six.
