Germany 1, France 2 - Casual Friendly - Germany Poor

It was great to see France back in action, and it was great to get a couple goals away from home, but there's no escaping that this was a friendly played at 3/4 speed.

I had the impression that Germany were more poor than France were good, but a victory away to Germany is always welcome.

Here's how we lined up:

Giroud
Ribery Nasri Valbuena
M'Vila Cabaye
Abidal Mexes Rami Debuchy
Lloris (C)

Lloris is the full-time captain now, which is no surprise, and he did well to keep Germany out at least a couple times.

The match was oddly casual, France's defenders deferred to Lloris on
