That's what happens when two big bulls duel for Goal. France who made their way to the semi-finals defeating iceland was the host this time and they had almost the whole stadium cheering for them. Germany even possessing the ball for almost 70% of the time, was not able to pierce the defence of France. Their "passing the ball" spell couldn't churn that nicely as it does during Germany vs Italy.
Maybe it was the sturdy formation, that caused Germany to lose.
