Everyone encounters a missed penalty at some point... We can't blame Gerrard. We can only lament the bad luck.
As for the two conceded goals, it doesn't seem to relate much to the team's defense. The first goal was purely Ma'er's personal ability, the second goal... well, it's heartbreaking just to think about it.
Mediocrity!

Even with a host of stars and young talents like Gilbert fighting hard, they could not find the opportunity to break through to France's goal. There was no one like Ma'er to take charge.
"Boom...! Boom...!"
Watching both sides tussle near the midfield, and as each second ticked by, Pierce was already thinking about how he would face the press conference later—it would be like walking through the gates of hell for him.
Before the match, after hearing Deschamps' bold words, he countered by saying he had a few tricks up his sleeves too.
But where were his tricks?
There were none!
