The immediate reaction for France fans after their defeat to Spain is one of frustration but, just as was the case at Euro 2012, when the teams met in the quarter-finals, there is no shame in losing to a team that is the best at the tournament and more progressive. There will be regrets for Didier Deschamps and his players but the future is bright so long as they make the right decisions and address the shortcomings that were on display in Germany.
