Economic jokes aside, Germany was the much better team yesterday, and the result reflects that. Greece scoring the first penalty goal of the tournament late in the game did nothing to affect the outcome, and served as more of a consolation prize. The scary thing, the announcers said, was that Germany actually played a fairly subpar game by their standards - they can do even better.
Today's game:
France will need to greatly improve on their performance in their last game, a 2-0 loss to Sweden, if they want to have a chance against defending world and European champions Spain. Spain doesn't have the strongest attackers, and can go a long time without scoring any goals, but they are afforded that luxury by their elite defense, which has allowed just 1 goal in their 3 games in the tournament so far.
Spain v. France kicks off at 2:45pm EST.
