France looks to be running away with the Euro 2016 semifinal matchup against Germany on the strength of another Antoine Greizmann goal.
Well, we knew that the biggest portion of the Euro 2016 semifinal match between Germany and France would be France’s blistering offense against Germany’s stalwart defense. Right now, it appears that the French offense is winning the battle.
Antoine Griezmann scored his second goal of the game to put the French in a commanding 2-0 lead. Coming back is not out of the question for the defending World Cup champions in Germany, but the ladder that they have to climb to get there just got higher. France has only given up two goals once in tournament play in a 5-2 win against Iceland, and both of the coals came in garbage time after France already had a commanding lead.
Germany didn’t allow a goal in group phase, and hasn’t allowed more than one goal in all of Euro 2016 until this game. Led by incredible goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, the German defense has typically been the most dominant part of their team. Today, Antoine Griezmann and France might have gotten the perfect breaks in order to beat the German squad.
Griezmann is becoming no stranger to the back of the German net, but he has always been into pop culture. That dance he’s doing after he scores? That’s the dance from Drake’s “Hotline Bling” music video. Dance all you want, Griezmann. If you hold on for 20 minutes, the day is yours.
