French need to do more of what Griezman just did. Go at them. They can be had if you challenge them with pace.

Same old Germany, they don't look great but often get the job done. France went out with a whimper.

Re: Quarter Finals: France v Germany
Disappointed in the French. Feels like they've exited this match with something left in their tank.

Raphael Honigstein @honigstein 2m
#GER ran 7.5km more than #FRA. amazing stat, considering they were leading for 78 mins (via @dogfood)

Pogba isn't all that.
I think he was woefully underused.
All France's attacks went down their left, he was made a spectator by Deschamps' tactics.
When he had the ball, he impressed.

Re: Quarter Finals: France v Germany
His job is to get involved. You have to impose yourself, especially in central mid. None of the French did. I agree he was good when he had the ball, but it wasn't often enough. He's petulant and whiney and rather than roll his sleeves up he throws his hands up.
He could be excellent, but right now I don't think he is.

Re: Quarter Finals: France v Germany
I reckon France simply got found out by a decent team
Their route this far is the only reason they made the last 16, in my opinion, look at the meal they made of qualifying for the thing compared to who they've played at the World Cup itself, I see nothing much ahead of Italy, Bosnia, Spain, England or Portugal. Aside from opposition
All purely coincidental though

Re: Quarter Finals: France v Germany
Dissapointing French team. Yes the conditions were difficult,but at least have a go at it.
Only good thing about is, that after the Matuidi incident from last game, i am kinda glad they're out.

Re: Quarter Finals: France v Germany
Pfft.
France just decided, "Merde!", turned on their heels and bailed. And quite right too. It's too hot out there to be arseing about, proving that they're the superior team in a silly contest when they already know they're the best. Why try harder?
Could've won it any time they wanted to. Decided not to bother. I for one applaud their strength of character.

Once again, Germany get the job done.
Looking like an almighty match up against Brazil. Match of the tournament if Brazil get through.
