AP noted that Germany avoided an early exit but highlighted France’s new 3‑point shooting record, and SB Nation described the French team as “dominating everyone.” SB Nation’s unequivocal claim of French domination contrasts with AOL’s alarmed tone about the USA’s prospects, yet the overall narrative affirms France’s lead.
