MARSEILLE, France -- Sometimes, all it takes is for your opponent to scratch on the eight-ball.
France's 2-0 defeat of Germany at Euro 2016 wasn't undeserved, it was simply a reflection of the nature of this sport. Whether you dominate or are dominated, sometimes winning or losing rests on other factors, such as luck or individual brilliance. If it goes your way it doesn't mean you're undeserving. It just means you were there to seize the moment when the Gods smiled at you.
Now they have a chance to win their fourth major tournament and their third on home soil after Euro 1984 and the 1998 World Cup.
