France and Germany have made it through to the knockout rounds, but didn’t quite show the football people had expected from them during the group stages.
Les Bleus put in the effort and played with passion. Didier Deschamps tried different tactics and rotated players, but their results weren’t really that good – two last-minute winners against Romania and Albania (I doubt these two would have qualified for the tournament, if the rules hadn’t been changed) and a boring 0-0 draw against Switzerland.
Germany also had troubles with scoring goals and creating chances, as their lack of a clinical striker, someone like Miroslav Klose, became increasingly apparent. Joachim Löw doesn’t seem to be a big fan of Mario Gomez: he left him behind in 2014 and hasn’t given him much time here in France, preferring Mario Götze as a false nine.
