I don't know which team is the more unlucky one, either France who had 2 very beautifully worked goals (Goal by: Kylan Mbappe and Karim Benzema) disallowed due to offside or Germany who had all the game at there grasped but were very much unable to find the net.
I have to give it to the France team anyway, they did put in all the effort to ensure that they defend there 1 goal which was an own goal advantage from the early minutes of the first half to the final whistle. Despite several substitution from the German side, they couldn't affect the result much while France had only 1 substitution which was with Benzema for Dembele. Now thats what a team with a formation set to win looks like. You set them in place and watch them deliver the game.

Jeez! Kylan Mbappe just got his goal cancelled for an offside.
Benzema got his goal disallowed due to offside as well. It could have been worse for Germany
Germany had more ball possesion but that was mostly in areas that were not really dangerous to france.
I'd say Germany control the flow of the game especially in the midfield aread but France was solid in defending so almost nothing gets past through it. Obviously this is the case when you have Kante on your team, we have seen how good this guy is in Chelsea defending the midfield line . On top of that there is also Pogba and Rabiot in the midfield so yeah , its going to be a pretty solid line
Yeah. Despite Germany having more possession of the ball during the match, France acted impenetrably, similar to their play at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, when they won gold.

Portugal 3 - 0 Hungary
Portugal was expected to win this game, I had already commented that in this group Portugal and Franca are the only favorites, Portugal's next game will be against germany, it will be a decisive game for portugal because if they lose against germany they are in a terrible situation
France 1 - 0 Germany
it was also expected that the france would win this game despite germany not being an easy opponent to deal with.
it was one of beste matches of the tournament..Portugal was expected to win this game, I had already commented that in this group Portugal and Franca are the only favorites, Portugal's next game will be against germany, it will be a decisive game for portugal because if they lose against germany they are in a terrible situation

France represents football perfection in the current Euro, they have the beste defensive solidity ,the best midfield. And a very good offensive mouvements,
Pogba and Mbappe were very critical players for France
Germany appeared well, but its offensive problems are very clear and need a different recipe than what we saw today they wanted to play in depth but they didn't find a lot of spaces uncovered by their opponents defense.

Germany is really at a loss with a blunder from Hummels...
if the goal does not happen then most likely the score will end in a draw, this time Francis is quite lucky. Germany is a team that is very superior in this competition, but luck is not with them in this match.

I think france deserved that win as they just had more good chances to score than germany and they even scored two more goals that were pretty close offside and therefore did not count and rightfully so. Of course it is unlucky for germany that the game was decided by an own goal but it is what it is. Germany had more ball possesion but that was mostly in areas that were not really dangerous to france. The game was pretty close overall and it could have also ended in a draw so it was definitely not a cakewalk for france as some people, also here in this forum, said before the match. I hope that germany starts with sane in the next game as havertz played pretty unlucky today.

Group F: France vs Germany
It will be an interesting match. I believe the end result is a draw. But, France has more chances to win.

Germany was unhappy for having an own goal. But France are playing very well, they were always closer to scoring.
In fact, he even scored two more goals that were well disallowed.
France showed why it is one of the main candidates to win the competition.

Well deserved France win. Germany looked disappointing. France defense was very solid today, they didn't let Germany to make even 1 shot on target. Even Griezmann was working on defense when it was needed. Maybe France didn't created a lot themselves, but quality of their game was better

Currently viewing the France vs Germany fixtures with France beating Germany by a goal to nothing .France seems to be the defensive side so far with Germany being more offensive as expected with them being the loosing side. I'm just wondering how France could keep that up, at actually defending there 1 goal win so far. They seem to be handling it well though, depending on a counter attack for offence.
Jeez! Kylan Mbappe just got his goal cancelled for an offside. It was too obvious though but the way he curved the ball was just too perfect. Germany can still make a goal out of this game with the way its going.

Honestly, I was hoping for a somewhat more exciting match between these two. Considering the balance of play so far, I have to say that the French are well-deserving of their lead, but there has not been a lot of clear-cut chances. Both teams played extremely cautiously. I hope that in the second half Germany will be a little more open since they need to catch up.
and this is what's happening right now, France just had a goal disallowed for offside, and Germany are attacking really well and they seem like they want at least a draw, there will be another goal in this match for sure, i don't know who's going to score though, i am leaning more towards Germany.

The first goal scored by Mats Hummels of Germany (note that he scored a goal in his own post). Although it is an own goal, Hummels should be proud of his effort. This will be his 6th international goal. 
Finally he added his goal record with the German national team, even though the ball went into his own goal. It's better for Joachim Low to send him out now than later to make his second goal into his own goal again 
Seeing France leading with 1 goal is a half achievement for my prediction, now I am waiting for Germany to wake up and score in the second half!
There is only about 25 minutes plus stoppage time to go, France are still ahead by the lone goal, but Germany have been the better side since the 2nd half.
Mbappe just seemed to have doubled the lead France with their first real attempt in the 2nd half, but it's been ruled out for offside.

Spain and Sweden game was really fun to watch there were ton of great positions and its sad that both teams failed to score but it is good that they had a draw, it was totally a 2-2 type of game if you looked at the positions and not the score. France vs Germany is another key game, it is really a shocking fact that they are in the same group but two teams go up the groups so its fine, I think it will be a sad group for portugal and hungary but rarer things happened in football so if one day I wake up and someone tells me "france and germany is eleminated, portugal and hungary is moving to next stage" I would be surprised a bit but I wouldn't say its impossible in the world of football neither.
This is why this is a very important game, hence why the draw is such low odds compared to most other games, there is really no team clearly better, the highest odd for france is 2.74 and lowest for germany is 2.74, think about that.

Surprising match between France and Germany. I was expecting a clear advantage for France, but in the first 20 minutes, Germany is having close to 60% possession. Kylian Mbappe looking good, but support is lacking from the other players within the French squad. My prediction right now is that Mbappe will be scoring the first goal of the match.
Edit: I was wrong. The first goal scored by Mats Hummels of Germany (note that he scored a goal in his own post). Although it is an own goal, Hummels should be proud of his effort. This will be his 6th international goal.
To be honest, I do not expect an outstanding performance from Germany in this championship. Germany is losing ground very quickly. Maybe it's time to change the main players and prepare the national team for the World Cup. I hope Flick will be able to play attacking football, there are players for this. Edit: I was wrong.

LOL, He should have thrown the ball away but unfortunately Hummels didn't make it and he was the goalscorer for Germany today even though it was an own goal and I think it's also a career record.
I saw him do an own goal, and I tried to see him again and again from the replay. I concluded that the game is like an amateur player.
Never have I seen such a stupid own goal in the EURO Competition before
June 15, 2021, 02:40:18 PM
Same with me favourite France today I know both teams have the same chance I just have to choose one
Mbappe, Benzema and Kante will be in the spotlight while Germany has Kai Havertz and Serge Gnabry
A beautiful goal from Mats Hummels, unfortunately it was an own goal. It seem 1-0 is a pretty small score when I watch the game go on and both team are going to score. But I still believe France will win this match.Mbappe, Benzema and Kante will be in the spotlight while Germany has Kai Havertz and Serge Gnabry
