[BostonCard]

Didn't mean to knock the French National team.  Though making it to the semis ought to have been a given (then again, ask England how it feels about "favorable" draws), the team gets credit for executing, and for beating a very good German team. The FMNT is immensely talented.  Pogba is great; Griezmann is a machine, and Lloris had an amazing game - any merely human performance would have let at least one if not two goals.  But it'd say that they are succeeding despite Deschamps, not because of him.

The game was a lot closer than the 2-0 score indicated.
