France - Germany

The French players seem to struggle heavily in the paint, even against teams like Japan and Brazil. Their inside game is weak, as I have mentioned in previous games. De Colo can barely move, Fournier is sitting down most of the time, and players like Strazelis and Albicy don't bring the same level of intensity in the paint. However, France has a strong defense. The Germans, despite being a predominantly inside team, have shown that they can also defend well, as shown in their victory against Serbia in the World Cup. Although the Germans may seem better than France, I believe that the atmosphere in the stadium tonight will be intense and it will be difficult for Germany. The stakes are high and I am looking forward to a defensive showdown, as the first two games have both ended in under scores.
