France are throwing themselves to the floor at every opportunity

Yeah, they did that in World War II as well.

Lawro’s having none of the French antics

“Dislocated shoelace”

 

[Paul Anthony]

Australia will be delighted at this so far. I imagine there'll be a few words said at half time in the French dressing room. Very scruffy.

 

[Nick]

This game is so boring

 

[wingy]

My god that went quick for something so tepid
Mind I've been posting /reading on here
Looked up 20+ mins gone
Looked up heard the whistle, thought it was a foul throw HT

 

[Liquid Gold]

Fair play to Aus they’re keeping France down. France need to come out of the blocks second half.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

I've got this on one screen and the cricket on the other. Rooting for the Aussies in the football, hoping they get dicked on in the cricket

I am watching the football and have the cricket on record, so would appreciate you keeping any Aussie cricket stuff on the cricket thread, thanks. Ha!

Great last ditch tackle
..or was It?

 

[Nick]

Looks like a pen, not massive contact though

It wasn't a pen. I hate France, players are a load of sulky moaning diving cunts

 

[Nick]

Lawrenson going on and on about it being a great tackle??

 

[Liquid Gold]

He got a touch on the ball. Either way it wasn’t ‘clear and obvious’ which is what it needs to be to overturn the decision on the pitch.

 

[wingy]

It was
Never a pen .

 

[chiefdave]

Wasn't a pen, defender touched the ball first. If that's a pen you might as well just ban tackling and make it a non contact sport.

VAR is a shambles, right decision on the pitch then changes it. And why are there 4 refs in the VAR room when they've said the decision will be made by the match ref?

I’ve got the Aus v Ireland rugby on my main tv, cricket on the iPad and football on the phone!

 

[wingy]

Hehe
The Evener
Maybe

 

[Nick]

Australia get one now, hope they score and go on to win

 

[vow]

VAR fails again. Greizman goes down after losing the ball.

 

[Paul Anthony]

I actually can't make my mind up. Looked a great tackle at first, on replays looked a foul. Tough. Now Australia have a pen for handball!

 

[wingy]

Umtiti.

 

[wingy]

Don't miss...

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Aus goal & wicket in the space of seconds hoping they don’t score a try now!

 

[Paul Anthony]

No idea what the French player was thinking there. What an idiot. Still, if it wasn't a pen the other end, then justice has been served.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Erghhh come on France, backed them to win the comp and I get a £5 free bet every game they win!

Booooo!

 

[chiefdave]

What on earth went through his mind there?

 

[Otis]

I’ve got the Aus v Ireland rugby on my main tv, cricket on the iPad and football on the phone!

There would be smoke coming out of my ears if I did that.

I think there is smoke coming out of the internet box!

Cricket on the telly and keeping an eye on the football on the laptop. Although the cricket could be off for rain before long.

 

[Nick]

Don't get the hype for pogba at all?

French players in genearly have a tendency to implode.

It wasn't me Otis!

Ferguson was right about him

 

[CovInEssex]

I always thought you had to win the ball (disposses or win control) of which he did neither.

Both were pens. France look average.
