Heartbreak for Les Bleus: Olympic Champions France Exit After Dramatic Time Loss

The Blues embrace each other. It’s the end of the adventure for Nikola Karabatic, Vincent Gérard, and Valentin Porte

Terrible… This team has made us feel so much. I’m leaving now, I’m going to see the players.

France, the reigning Olympic champion, is eliminated. It’s terrible… We will long think back to this final and incredible loss of the ball, in regulation time

Uscins scores the last goal. Video review!!! It is awarded!!! It’s over!!!

30 seconds left to equalize, as Spaeth blocked the first shot. REMILI FINALLY (34-34)

Niko Karabatic is back. We haven’t seen him since the end of the first half, I believe. Let’s hope this isn’t his last match

The Germans take the lead again with this goal from the huge pivot and captain Golla (34-33)

Video review, 2 minutes for Prandi. A nasty sequence…

Ball lost on this overly complicated pass from Prandi to Fabregas, as Germany had equalized (33-33)

German shot over the top then goal from Descat. Things are looking good (33-32)

Uscins equalizes and it’s half-time in extra time

13 goals for the young player from Hanover (22 years old), who is causing us a lot of pain.

All decisions are being discussed, the tension is incredible. The public is trying to cheer, but even they seem to hold back at times

Video review after Fabregas was hit hard on the helmet. And two minutes for Steinert

Descat converts the 7-meter throw (32-31). I’m hyperventilating…

Remili has been lost! Incredible considering the quality of the player

Again Descat on the counter, after this ball picked up by Fabregas. France takes the lead again (31-30). It’s in-vi-va-ble

Descat still impeccable at 7 meters (30-30)

Mem wants to make amends but fails to do so. Uscins, who scored the equalizer, nets the one for 29-30

Here we go into extra time

The French have experienced what they inflicted on Sweden and Denmark during the last Euro. Let’s hope they can recover…

Extra time then. 2X5 minutes. And another 2X5 minutes if needed. Then penalty shootouts if everyone is still tied

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!! The ball lost on a bad pass from Mem and the German equalization at the very last second. The referee asks for a video review but it is awarded (29-29). Extra time!!!
