France celebrate final place

MARSEILLE, France -- Three thoughts from the Stade Velodrome in Marseille where France topped Germany 2-0 to earn a spot in the Euro 2016 final.

His goals sent a throbbing Stade Velodrome into raptures, but the way in which he was gifted both scores will linger in their opponents' minds for a long time.
