World Cup: Group C: Australia vs. Peru, France vs. Denmark, 6/26/2018

I have to say, on the angle shown here, arms are not sticking out.. So imo that should never be a penalty.

Well, arm is clearly not glued to the body, so as I say, half the refs would give penalty.
Not that's it's a problem, I'm perfectly fine with the ref not calling it, I know I wouldn't have.

Both sides look exhausted for some reason.

Must be very hot.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Aussies are pretty much done now, I don't see them scoring three goals in 15 mins.

 

[ViD]

Oh well, I guess the first scoreless game is upon us

 

[QuietContrarian]

Mbappe will score

I really don't understand how DD changes most of his lineup for this mostly-meaningless game, but still starts Griezmann instead of Fekir who's shown good things every time he got on the field for France. France doesn't have another player like him, a pure creator who can unlock defenses. Griez does a lot of things well, but I think Fekir would bring more considering the team's style of play. In a ideal world, Griez plays 9 and Fekir 10, and Giroud sits on the bench as he should, and comes on at the 65th if we need a goal. Thanks, DD.

Both teams playing for the draw zzzzzzz

I wish I could hate Christian Eriksen because he plays for Spurs, but I just can't.

This game sucks. So boring

Two shots for France in the second half. One close to the post, one saved by the goalie.
Both by Fekir in the 5 minutes he's played.

With Mbappe and Fekir on the field, the rythm has completely changed. France suddenly look dangerous and technical.

Well that sure was unexpected.

 

[Malmo]

Yeah both Fekir and Mbappé brought life into the team.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Fekir is everywhere right now

 

[Evilo]

Fekir is everywhere right now

Except Liverpool

At least one guy is trying to show something to the coach.

 

[Havre]

It´s fine that Denmark focuses on the draw, but come on..... it is still possible to attack a bit with very limited risk compared to just giving France the ball.

 

[Evilo]

Yeah Denmark isn't even trying right now, they're parking the bus, even though they're through with Peru leading.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Time wasting now

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Time for an Eriksen screamer

 

[Jussi]

Both sides look exhausted for some reason.

Must be very hot.

At the Australia-Peru game it's +30°C.

 

[Eisen]

Man of the match: the fans for not leaving early en masse .

 

[Evilo]

What a game
Poor fans who paid a ticket...

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Boooooooos raining down

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

God, I only tuned in at the 70 minute mark and I was pleading for the final whistle.
