France v Australia - Match Thread

[kingfox]

Australia have looked decent from the 15th minute onwards, closing down well and working hard, they need a focal point though, Timmy Cahill is needed.

They certainly have, they have had the better chances

Why do commentators always say Pogba needs “unlocking”. He probably just isn’t that good. Other great midfielders don’t need “unlocking”.

If you can’t play well with Kante along side then you just aren’t good

agreed. 

I can maybe only remember a handful of games over the past couple of seasons since his move where he's ran the show or had an influential game.

[Webbo]

What a farce.

[Aus Fox]

Thoughts ?

[MC Prussian]

Foul on Griezmann, clips him right at the end.

[The Doctor]

Well... That was odd. Right decision mind, doesn't get the ball, or if he does not enough to move it out of griezmanns path

Oh dear

 

I only saw contact with the ball on the last zoomed in slow mo, hope they saw that one before they reached the verdict

[StanSP]

don't think that's a penalty, for me. The defender got a touch on the ball and momentum and position meant there's no way he could get out of the way of Griezmann.

[leicsmac]

Foul and peno for me, VAR working as intended.

[ithuriel]

Controversial penalty decision even with VAR

[Fox92]

Probably is a pen tbf.

[ScouseFox]

lawro before we went to VAR - “fantastic challenge, by the way”. VAR gives a pen. scenes. 

[Guest ttfn]

Thought that worked well.

[The Bear]

I agree with that decision. Just because he slightly touches the ball doesn't make it not a foul. He still brings Griezmann down.

 

[ARTY_FOX]

Awful decision 

[Blue ROI]

Griezmann involved in a dodgy penalty decision yet again. 

[Wymsey]

He touched the ball just initially, and an accidental clash of feet.

Harsh.

VAR will ruin the game at this rate.

[Brainy]

It doesn't matter how heavy the touch on the ball was?

[Turbogre]

Clear pen
