I wasn't that impressed with Drmic tonight. Don't see where the hype came from.

Well he actually scored, he was wrongly ruled offside because the linesman thought Xhaka touched the ball (he didn't).

Other than that, he was anonymous but that might be down to the Swiss being pretty poor

Sakho over Koscielny would be a sackable offense for most managers. The standards are pretty low when it comes to the French national team though.

Deschamps looks like a genius compared to Low if reports are to be believed. The rate at which national team coaches make indefensible selections is astounding.

good luck to @OlivierGiroud, Laurent Koscielny & @Sagnaofficial. Hope to see you in the #WorldCup quarter final ;-) #FRA #HON #Brasil2014

Mesut obviously didn't see the team sheet 🙂

Teams are usually isolated during the tournament.
Germany are on target to meet France in the quarters.

Positive side is that Honduras won't be able to injure any of our players.

Eh? No more national anthems?

WTF happened to the anthems? Only tuned in for la Marseillaise

Watch one of them do a Lewin 🙂

I wouldn't mind Behrami as well, he had a stormer.

He was terrific. First he made a crucial block in his own area and then he started the counter that preceded the second Swiss goal with a fifty yard run.

He was pretty poor till the last 20 minutes. Thought Switzerland would be good but in all honesty Ecuador was the better team and should have won.

I hope Costly doesn't make any mistakes for Honduras. 😆

Exciting, athletic French team. Interested to see what they can do.

Loved Henry mugging off Robbie Savage a few minutes back. What a doughnut he is.

Agreed.

A fouling machine, very limited on the ball. Biggus seems to love those types of midfielders 😉

Honduras are not as shit as most Europeans think they are, they will be very very negative though. This game will likely be a bore

It's called being committed, someone has to do it when the fancy dan's couldn't be arsed and go hiding for a sulk.

Just noticed that France have pink socks.
