Watch Spain vs France Live Stream Euro 2012 Soccer Free Online Games Video.France was struggling to make much of an impact, perhaps too secure in the knowledge that its last eight spot was virtually secure, though surely keen to avoid a meeting with Group C winner Spain.
France didn't play terribly, but didn't exactly stroll into the Quarterfinals.After coming into the tournament with a 21-match unbeaten streak, they opened with a draw against England. France wasted a lot of chances before finally striking twice in the span of three minutes to beat Ukraine 2-0. They managed to progress despite losing to Sweden 2-0 on the last matchday.
Franck Ribery fed Karim Benzema who blazed the best France chance over the bar but it was Sweden which continued to attack with more purpose, with Olsson in particular exploiting the space afforded him down the left.The game drifted towards the interval in rather low-key fashion but France threatened in the final minute, Benzema playing in Ribery whose shot from just inside the box was blazed high over the bar.
Sweden continued to look more likely to break the deadlock early in the second period, Larsson setting up Olof Mellberg who was ruled narrowly offside, with France struggling to break down a resolute Sweden defence.It almost did so in the 50th minute, when Benzema sprang the offside trap to race clear on the left flank, and after cutting inside onto his favoured right foot, unleashed a shot which flew just wide of Andreas Isaksson's left-hand post
