MARSEILLE, France -- France is heading back to soccers elite, and Antoine Griezmann is the man leading the way.Griezmann scored both goals to give France a 2-0 win over world champion Germany on Thursday and a place in the European Championship final against Portugal.It was a victory built as much on German errors as it was on Griezmanns skill, with a handball in the box and a poor defensive pass paving the way for his goals.But that didnt matter to the fans who made Marseilles Stade Velodrome ring with the sound of the Marseillaise, Frances national anthem. Their team won this tournament in 2000, two years after lifting the World Cup, but it hasnt had a trophy since then.Developed as a player in Spain, Griezmann has been the star of the show for France, leading a high-scoring team with six goals, twice as many as any other player in the tournament.I think theres a lot of happiness around France tonight, said coach Didier Deschamps, whose team faces Cristiano Ronaldos Portugal on Sunday at the Stade de France.This team has everything it needs to be loved, Im very proud... Its fabulous to be in the final.Griezmann, who could have completed a hat trick in the 86th minute but shot straight at goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, was already looking ahead.Were very happy, he said. We have to keep our feet on the ground. We still have a match to go.For Germany, defeat cost it the chance to add the European title to the World Cup it won in 2014.It had gone 50 years unbeaten against host nations at major tournaments, dating back to its loss to England in the 1966 World Cup final and encompassing a famous 7-1 humbling of Brazil in the 2014 World Cup semifinals.While a repeat of the Brazil rout was never on the cards, Germany could have scored more than once as it dominated the first half. But it was denied by poor shooting from Thomas Mueller, who ended his tournament scoreless, and a save by Hugo Lloris to block Emre Cans bouncing shot.France took the lead from the penalty spot in first half stoppage time after Bastian Schweinsteiger handled the ball in an aerial challenge with Patrice Evra.Griezmann stepped up to score, striking the penalty hard to Neuers right.I really wanted to take a penalty in a big match like that. I was very composed, I didnt think twice, Griezmann said.It was the second time in as many games that Germany had given away a spot-kick for handball. Jerome Boateng blocked the ball with an arm above his head in the quarterfinal against Italy.Its just bad luck, just an unlucky action, Germany coach Joachim Loew said of the penalty. In a challenge, when youre jumping, there are movements that you cant really control.Trailing in a match for the first time in the tournament, Germany could not recover its previous dominance after halftime. It then had to cope with losing key defender Boateng, who picked up an ankle injury after an hour.The German defense had not conceded from open play all tournament, but it fell apart for Griezmanns second goal in the 72nd minute. A sluggish pass by Benedikt Hoewedes to right back Joshua Kimmich was cut out by Paul Pogba and Neuer could only palm away the midfielders cross to Griezmann, who finished with ease.Germany responded well and could have pulled one back when Kimmich hit the post, before Julian Draxler sent a free-kick narrowly wide and Hoewedes headed over.We had chances to come back, Neuer said. We played a good European Championship and its very bitter to go out.Loew insisted his team had played better than France but had been denied by bad luck, including the injuries and suspensions that hit four key players -- Boateng, as well as defender Mats Hummels, midfielder Sami Khedira and forward Mario Gomez, with the latter three missing the game.Loew, who is under contract until the 2018 World Cup, said he was not sure of his future.France, while not always reassuring in defense, came through victorious in its first game of the tournament against genuinely top-class opposition.After the final whistle, Frances jubilant players celebrated with the fans by performing the Huh chant made famous at the tournament by Iceland.Across France and in the French team, the attention was firmly on the diminutive Griezmann after another decisive performance.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan expressed optimism Saturday that wide receiver Percy Harvin will be able to play Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks despite spending the past year away from football.I feel good about Percy, Ryan said. I didnt say well play him 50 snaps, but I will play him... I think we can play him some, I do. He looks good out there. The conditioning part of it and doing the football-specific things are obviously not to where he would be if he was here the whole time, but I think he can help us.The Bills signed Harvin on Tuesday, luring him out of a six-month retirement. Harvin, 28, has not played since Week 5 of last season, before the Bills placed him on injured reserve because of lingering hip and knee injuries.Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Bills general manager Doug Whaley did not rule out the possibility of Harvin making his season debut Monday night but indicated the team could use its bye week after the Seahawks game in order to get Harvin re-acclimated to the NFL.Offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn was also hesitant about playing Harvin after only three practices this week.Im going to wait until the end of the week to evaluate that and see how were going to use him, and if were going to use him, Lynn said Friday. The guys been out of football for a year, comes back, pracctices for two or three day and then [goes and plays] in an NFL game.dddddddddddd Thats asking a whole lot.Injuries have depleted the Bills receiving corps in recent weeks. Robert Woods remained limited in practice this week with a foot injury and Brandon Tate was ruled out Saturday because of a concussion. Marquise Goodwin, who did not play in last Sundays loss to the New England Patriots because of a concussion, is expected to play Monday night.Top receiver Sammy Watkins remains on injured reserve and is eligible to return to practice next Friday, although the Bills are not expected to practice because of their bye week. He can play as soon as the Bills Nov. 27 game against Jacksonville.Thats the big one, Ryan said Saturday of Watkins. I have no idea if hell be ready or not, but thats the one were hoping for.In addition to Harvin, Ryan confirmed Saturday that he is confident running back LeSean McCoy will be able to play Monday night after sitting out last week because of a hamstring injury. McCoy is listed as questionable on the injury report and was limited in each practice this week.The Bills ruled out defensive linemen Marcell Dareus (groin) and Corbin Bryant (shoulder) for Mondays game.
