Germany fizzled out poorly in their run for the UEFA Nations League under Julian Nagelsmann. After an unbeaten run to the semi-finals, first Germany got knocked out by Portugal, and then, France deflated any hopes for a third place finish. Despite a resurgence in the first half against France, Die Mannschaft squandered good chances that ultimately led to their defeat.<\/p>\n
Germany\u2019s for vs. away goals until the semis was 23 – 8. It was a spectacular goal scoring run until the final stage of the tournament. <\/p>\n
In the post-game interview Sunday (as captured by @iMiaSanMia<\/a>), team captain Joshua Kimmich said, \u201cWe talked a lot about the first game. I think we showed what we\u2019re capable of in the first half today, that we\u2019re able to react. We simply weren\u2019t good enough in front of goal. Overall, we simply can\u2019t lose patience so quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite being more creative today, it was at accuracy and shot conversion where Germany faltered severely. Comparing this game to the one against Portugal, Germany created more chances (four) and took more than double the shots (20). However, the shots on target remained nearly the same (six). Missing all their chances and some poor luck with VAR, Germany ended goalless for the first time in the tournament. <\/p>\n Looking for more thoughts on Germany\u2019s 2-0 loss to France in the UEFA Nations League third-place match?
