They have played a careful tournament, yes, but the pressure on them has been immense. Also keep in mind that their defense is nothing special. Pogba can do whatever he wants at Juve, but with Koscielny and Sagna behind you that's not the case. Finally they also lack a defensive midfielder who has quality on the ball imo.
To be perfectly honest France have done what I expected them to. Nothing more nothing less.
If Griezmann isn't nominated at least top 3 for the Ballon D'or, they should dissolve the award. BO should go to the clutchiest player of the year (Griezmann), not to the winner of the stat padding contest with mostly meaningless goals.
