Looking forward to this one.

 

France do have one of my favourite national anthems.

Ooooh, Timmy Cahill!

Love the man.

 

(No homo)

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Hope France ruin them

[Webbo]

Love the Aussie spirit, they'll have a go no matter who they're playing.

[Ian Nacho]

Drogba looks weird bald.

[Nalis]

France should win this about 7-2.

[Aus Fox]

Looking at the line ups lump on 5 - 0 France. Other than Jedinak there isn’t a player who can tackle in that Aussie team.

[StanSP]

Is it weird that I'm expecting a thrashing by France but also expecting them to screw up and draw 1-1

Like England should really.

Yeah I was looking at odds for France and over 2.5 goals, but couldn't bring myself to bet. They'll win but I don't trust them to not struggle at times.

[Jimothy]

No Cahill, the Aussies deserve to lose.

[kingfox]

Should be a comfortable win for France, 3-0.

 

On paper that's the worst Australia side I've seen for a while.

[lcfcsnow]

At least we’ve got sarcy Lawrenson, Murphy and Keown yesterday almost finished me off

[EastAnglianFox]

Lawro trying to be funny after just 10 seconds...could be a long 90

Obviously didn’t see too many of there qualifying games, the 1-1 home draw with Japan was one of the worst footballing experiences I have ever had.

Shutting up shop against the likes of Syria, UAE and Thailand did nothing to inspire.

I can't see Australia finishing with eleven men here.

And I can imagine some French players taking away a few injury souvenirs from this encounter.

there's been like one foul  

[MC Prussian]

Pavard at full-back for France is proper weird.

[The Bear]

I really hate Lawro. The equivalent of watching the game in the pub and having some twat of an old bloke come and stand next to you at the bar trying to be funny. 

[StanSP]

Loving France's kit. Looks decent.

 

Also enjoying seeing Kante again  

[ithuriel]

So far one shot on target every 2 minutes for France.

Yeah I don't get that either.

 

I suspect Mendy will play there for the more competitive games against Denmark and Peru.

[MC Prussian]

Jedinak's beard is longer than his face.

[MC Prussian]

Great chance for Australia, that. Well done.
