Don't get the hype for pogba at all?

Overpriced, overhyped, inconsistent. I'd want my 89 million back.

Overpriced, overhyped, inconsistent

3 words I often use to describe my wife.

Was there even a yellow for the blatant hand ball? If not, that was a disgrace.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Of course he goes and scores now.

 

[fernandopartridge]

How has the stadium announcer given the goal to Pogba? Laughable

 

[Liquid Gold]

Fuck France. I hope they get spanked by someone after this game.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Boooooooooo

 

[fernandopartridge]

Clearly an own goal

 

[Otis]

France have played very, very poorly, but you have to say Australia look a very poor side full stop. Their passing is abysmal at times.

 

[Paul Anthony]

On the replays FP, yep. Still not worth 89 million!

 

[Paul Anthony]

So the Aussie player got booked for nothing, but a blatant handball doesn't get a booking at all....odd

 

[wingy]

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

Both were pens. France look average.

No
All you need to do is fall over .

 

[Liquid Gold]

Cheating cunts.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Cheating cunts.

I thought that was us?

 

[Otis]

You watch France now go and win the whole bloody thing!!

 

[Liquid Gold]

The tournament is alive now. A brilliant game last night and a controversial one now.

 

[wingy]

You watch France now go and win the whole bloody thing!!

No!! !:-o

 

[Paul Anthony]

Not impressed at all by France.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Erm...is criticism of VAR now being censored, or just a "technical issue"??

Maybe someone just doesn't like Phil Neville!

 

[CJ_covblaze]

Sat in Stansted. Flying in an hour via Moldova. Starting to get excited now.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Over to you Mr Messi....

 

[Ashdown]

I thought Argentina was in financial ruin.....hasn't stopped a huge following to Russia has it, amazing !!! Love the Sky Blue !!

 

[wingy]

What a miss! !

 

[Paul Anthony]

What a mess Argentina made of That! Should be 1-0 Iceland!

 

[Otis]

Hmm, is it just me who thinks that Iceland will play really well and Argentina will stutter and the Argies will do a France and scrape a win?

 

[wingy]

Iceland working so hard.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Hmm, is it just me who thinks that Iceland will play really well and Argentina will stutter and the Argies will do a France and scrape a win?

Seems to be the done thing at the moment. Uruguay and France both stumbled to a win. Trouble is if England do that, we probably won't get the win!

 

[Paul Anthony]

Aguero gets his first world cup goal. Don't rule Iceland out yet though.

Told you! Argentina all over the place defensively.

 

[wingy]

Got to be honest didn't think they'd come back .

 

[Paul Anthony]

Send that Ref off! Just cleaned wiped out Gunnarsson!

 

[Paul Anthony]

Never a penalty that for me. Ball to hand off his leg. Couldn't do anything about it.

Agree. Hate to see those given as penalties. Complete accident.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Seeing that Gunnarsson throw in brought back some happy memories
