I'm a bit baffled on how you lavish praise on france ?
I was angry during the first half on how they were completely overrun and how they failed to get the best out of Pogba. How they failed to pass twice in germany's half, how they should have temporised and moved up.
Gifted penalty changed the game. Germans truely missed Khedira and a striker for this game. Gomes allready was a big deal at the end of the Qualifiers for them, as their gameplan really needs him.
France got a pathetic easy tournament so far. Worse then portugal. France had the carpet out all the way to the semi final. In which they played a germany who had 120 minutes of Italy in its legs and missed 2 vital players.
Gonna be interesting to see what the final is like.
