France 2-1 Germany: 5 Talking Points

#2 Germany flips the script and counter attacks

Germany definitely need to see a lot more of this man

Against Germany, it was expected that France would sit back and try to hit them on the counter. Well, France sat back but perplexed by Germany's shape and organization, they got stuck in the mud on more occasions than was pleasing to watch.

Led by the electric pace of Leroy Sane and Timo Werner and backed by Gnabry, Germany looked threatening every time they broke on the counter. In fact, Germany should have easily had comfort but the Manchester City man fluffed his lines when all he had to do was nudge the ball across the box to Timo Werner in a 2 on 1 situation.

But despite that, the German attack looked far more menacing than they have in the recent past and the decision to start the youngsters proved to be a welcome one for the Germans.
