Deschamps eyes tweaks after group mission accomplished (Reuters)

France are still a work in progress requiring tweaks despite coasting through to the knockout phase of Euro 2016 as group winners on Sunday, according to coach Didier Deschamps. France drew 0-0 with Switzerland but were mere centimeters away from victory as they hit the woodwork three times, while opposing goalkeeper Yann Sommer produced three superb saves. "If the goalkeeper is man of the match it really tells you how it went," Deschamps said, adding he had wanted a third win, but was content to have topped Group A. By doing so, the hosts have earned an extra day's rest over coming second, with a last-16 match against a third-place finisher in Lyon on Sunday.
