France to barely see the ball
=========================
This, too, but I believe that against better teams, which I would believe France to be, Spain's superiority in terms of possession is not that pronounced, as the other team gets some 40 per cent of the possession, too.
It's basically a matter of how efficient France will be with the ball. What they should avoid is conceding possession immediately after winning it.
I also think that this France team can actually keep the ball quite well themselves, so why not use that as an advantage, too, as the Spanish are used to having lots of possession and maybe not so much used to playing without the ball.

There's a reason they aren't used to playing without the ball.

Juan Mata just did a ridiculous piece of skill in the pre match warm up and got hugs of all his teammates

================================
But they do concede possession, too.
So it's up to the French to decide whether they want to get the ball forward quickly to exploit the gaps left by ESP or try to unsettle the Spanish by trying to keep the ball themselves.

Penetration
===================
Amen to that
but seriously, it's a good term if you exclude the connotations.
