To me it seems that Germany is lacking a playmaker and their strategy was to let France play, defend and then go into fast counter attacks. Oh the irony of the game  Anyway, my prediction was close, sure, 3:2 for Germany if 4 goals far away, but the only goal was scored byGermany | ||

With the aggressive shape germany was playing thats an achievement imo And offside traps count towards good defending | ||

France seemed to do the minimum and won (2 offside goals were played nicely though). Also it was not a good Idea to let Mbappe play against Hummels. Hummels is not fast enough for this. | ||

Germany was behind and the last line defence was incredible high to up the pressure so ofc there is space for an attacker and the risk to run into counterattacks. Hummels played incredible well besides the one lapse. The only one who played outright bad was Havertz, maybe nerves, dunno. No speed, afraid, kinda slacking. Not the same guy that scored in a CL final for sure | ||

Happens every now and then, maybe it wasn't De Gea but I would bet it was in the last decade in the PL Here's one from the BundesLiga | ||

Why do you say that? Hummels handled Mbappe? The one time Mbappe got really dangerous was when Hummels tackle saved it. That one was arguably a penalty tho, even if it wasn't called. He's on the ball but he's on Mbappe first. (One of those situations where if the referee called a penalty, VAR would not undo it.) I mean, I think Hummels was fine. The own goal was unfortunate more than it was 'bad' - it's a fairly difficult ball to clear and letting it go isn't an option. Mbappe outran him something crazy - but 'is slower than Mbappe' isn't really that much of a criticism. | ||

Would be a red card if the ref decides its a foul. The ref didn't have his best day and the tackle looked clear. It required careful slowmo to see it wasn't. So leaving the penalty be was IMO the better decision. | ||
