Absolute clinic by Spain. First shot on target for France was in the 81st minute. That's insane.

    Called it!

    Seemed like people thought this game was a foregone conclusion. France arguably played the prettiest football of the tournament, but I had a feeling they'd stumble when coming up against one of the other behemoths of world football.

    I would argue that Deschamp is the best French coach ever and that this is the best team France will ever have. They could adapt their game to their opponent, master pressure and release, keep a cool head and play together. Their best football was simply no match to Spain's and I don't see any team beating Spain at the moment.
