Group D: France, Australia, Denmark, Tunisia

That layoff for Griezmann was just dirty. Surprised he didn't convert.

I'm going to have to learn to spell Tchouameni because he's going to be one of the best around for awhile

 

[Wizard]

Bad miss that by Mbappe

 

[Martin Alvito]

How do you miss that? Filthy ball in.

Shocking atmosphere

Funny that because you laughed when I said he’d fill in comfortably for Kante if if got injured

I don't think they're quite as disciplined. Can't see the French shelling these like that, and I think they have more talent on the pitch, truth be told.

I think that’s debatable, I’d say a combined England / France team (French injuries considered) would be about 50/50 on paper

 

[Obes]

Should have been 3-1 one end then nearly 2-2. Been a decent game, this.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Aussies reminding us that they can still level this thing.

Cant stand French football - and their international team in particular. I hope they get nowhere near that trophy.

Years ago they were rubbish at footy. It was natural they were rubbish at it too.

£1m a week for his domestic side and he's missing shots like that - should be tucking that home 100 times out of 100.

I think they're better at the back. Is what it is. Your talent is concentrated too far forward. Your subs are terrifying. It's like having Fabregas, Fabregas and Fabregas to throw at the opponent.

Aussies giving a very good account of themselves here

I’d probably say France are better than us in every department tbf

Their starters are better down the wing, and they're reliable through the middle in defense. You have some quality in midfield. I wouldn't trade that Kane guy when healthy for their injured starter or their present one, either.
