Euro: SF: France vs. Germany, 7/7/2016

[Plural]

This really feels like the true finals of the tournee.

 

[Ceremony]

Some game this. Griezmann just floats when he has the ball.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Pretty sure he's suspended.

He was suspended for the quarters and is listed on the squad list today.

 

[Evilo]

Pretty sure he's suspended.

No, it was a choice between him and Matuidi.

Oh right. Doesn't make sense than, he should be in there.

Germany pressing so hard.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Didn't France use Matuidi, Pogba and Kanté together for the first part of the tournament? Why go with Sissoko?

 

[Peen]

Ozil is beautiful

It's fine to play counter attacking if you're not going to give up high quality chances every time you concede possession. but France is giving that up, so it's unsustainable..

 

[Deficient Mode]

Boateng with like one interception in the French half per minute lately

German buildup settled down a lot after the opening 5-10 minutes. Kroos looks much better in the left half space. Schweini isn't doing badly; he still has a good strategical mind.

Sissoko can power through a D. Kanté can't, and Matuidi is a lefty.

We're playing a different system with Matuidi/Pogba in front of the D.

 

[Cassano]

Muller is a clown.

 

[Frank the Tank]

This is a great game so far. Wish more soccer was played with this pace and the lack of flopping with embellishment.

 

[Luigi Habs]

DD showed how much he's clueless by starting the same 11 as vs Iceland. Germany is not Iceland lol.

Kimmich is wasting a lot going forward.

 

[canucksfan]

Great game

 

[N o o d l e s]

Pretty sure he's suspended.

He was last game. Apparently Deschamps wanted to keep the same lineup

Thanks. I am still at work, so I am following the game online. Can't wait to get home.

From what I gather here and from the stat sheet, France is getting owned

He's great in the tackle and great dictating tempo from deep. Klopp loves playing him where Schweini is playing right now.

That's encouraging to hear, as that aspect of his game seemed not to translate from the youth level when he first made the jump to the pro game in germany. Emre did sit deeper and dictate tempo well coming up; but what set him apart was always his ability to push forward. Vidal is actually the player he most compared to in those days; but because he was shining for the german u17 team, he had to be compared to a german...thus the "next ballack" monicker he once wore.

It is in league games every week. International games are usually the most boring.

France can't take this much longer. They need to regroup quickly.

First 8 minutes was all France. Griezmann almost scored but was on his weaker foot.

Since then Germany has toyed with us in every zone of the pitch.
Lloris coming up big.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Looks like the germans will pot in 1 soon.

Lloris is a beauty. Such an underrated goalie.

 

[Evilo]

Payet has been DESASTROUS.

 

[Live in the Now]

France looks weary when they get the ball. They need to recycle possession for a bit when they get it instead of going on rampaging counter attacks every single time.

 

[Evilo]

We're not even crossing the midfield line
