When coupled with a poor game plan and poor execution, it was the perfect combination for the rare loss to Portugal. <\/p>\n<p id=\"592vIO\">As for France, it buried itself into a massive hole with a 4-0 deficit before mounting a massive charge to have the game finish 5-4 in favor of Spain.<\/p>\n<p id=\"avSePm\">Clearly, both squads hoped for much better. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Team news<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"RD575F\">Here is the predicted lineup, courtesy of BFW:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"   alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" data-upload-width=\"1242\" width=\"1242\" height=\"1552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/lineup_builder__2_.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"BXa1ea\">It seems unlikely that Julian Nagelsmann will change too much. He could opt for a more defensively-minded midfielder Pascal Gro\u00df and a more veteran presence at striker in Niclas F\u00fcllkrug, but otherwise, things could look very similar. <\/p>\n<p id=\"tKUoPb\">As for France, Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9, Bradley Barcola, and Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet are out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bavarian Podcast Works \u2014 Preview Show: Germany vs. France <\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"8MOo1f\">The German national team  \u2014 and its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bavarianfootballworks.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bayern Munich<\/a> contingent \u2014 will have its hands full in trying to deal with a France side, who probably feels as if it needs to show a little something extra after falling to Spain, 5-4. <\/p>\n<p id=\"v2ZPbJ\">This is a high-powered match-up, which might be a little too hot to handle for Germany at the moment.
