Why would you play with 2 midfielders as strikers when you have Gomez and Podolski on the bench? Gotze is out of favour at Bayern and Muller hasn't scored in the Euros in his career.
Gomez is injured and out of the tournament. Podolski looked a bit past it at Arsenal a couple of years ago

Really surprised they didn't play with podolski. Gomez isn't fit but playing Muller up that high is such a waste. He's good because he's hard to mark, Koscielny has got a cigar on tonight.
Didn't realise Gomez was ruled out in the end. Podolski didn't fit into the Arsenal way, and is the third highest all time goalscorer for Germany, he'd have been a better bet than Gotze
Griezmann's got top scorer and player of the tournament sewn up now
He's also scored more in the finals than any player in history... Only Ronaldo or Name scoring 4 or 5 each can beat him. And that's only if he doesn't score again.

For all their great passing Germany created a lot less than France. Earlier in the tournament Matthaus said that they should play with a number 9, they brought Gomez in and looked more dangerous. They missed him tonight and don't seem to have anyone else to play that role.

ITs crazy a team with that much ability though, Gomes, Imo is fricking woeful. His touch is just that of the proverbial.
The Penalty decision fcked the game, game of two halves with a bent decision at the end of the first half changing it.

I agree Gomez isn't great. Do you remember Hrubesch? (Or Rubbish as Jack Charlton called him)
We are seeing so many nations now not producing enough top quality out and out strikers, this could be the fault of certain era's of the past with a false number 9, but it's odd really.
Germany without Gomez haven't got anyone. Spain without Morata haven't really got anyone top class. Portugal haven't produced a striker in years.
Well done to France. I hope that Payet plays a blinder in the final, sets up Giroud twice to score as I have Giroud at E/W so £50-60 and Payet as player of the tournament. Unfortunately, I think I'll miss out the Payet one now.

France were great defensively second half.

He did get that 9 darter though.
