Definitely the Habs have trouble with penalty shootouts in the finals. Five and a half months after the defeat of the Blues in the final of the World Cup in Qatar against Argentina in this event (4-2, 3-3 aet), the France U17 team lost to the Germany in the same way this Friday evening in the final of the Euro disputed in Hungary.
The Germans found the French they had easily beaten (3-1) in front of the pool. But tonight’s game was much tighter. Jean-Luc Vannuchi’s boys were solid but they fished offensively like their striker Mathis Lambourde who first deflected an attempt by Tidiam Gomis (72nd) too lightly before striking twice at the end of the game on the German goalkeeper.
Yet well ahead (4-2) during the penalty shootout, the French will then miss two attempts by Fodé Sylla and Saïmon Bouabré which deprives them of a European double a year after the coronation of the 2005 generation against the Countries -Down (2-1) in the final. Despite this painful defeat, the 2006 generation has less won its ticket for the U17 World Cup which will take place next November.
