IMO Germany defence is hella weak and it's gonna be a probelm against the next opponnent.
I wouldn't actually say he's bad, it's just that his play depends a lot on his mood. When he's in good condition he had a great game vision and is an excellent passer/scorer.
He can also shoot pretty accurate but he often looks lazy/nonchalant which is imo a problem for the leader he's supposed to be...
However I agree with you on the fact that Benzema is too hyped up in the french team, he's not the best player at all. Or at least, he's not the reason why France went that far. The mid players (Matuidi, Pogba, Sissoko, Valbuena) and some like Griezmann bring much more to the team than Benzema does (even in terms of intensity & will to try hard for the team)
Too bad that many of our lob passes were "too long" & unprecise, I feel like we were close on some occasions but it was always too messy to end up in a goal. Props to Neuer who did not flinch at all during the game.
