The whole nation awaits 🙂

French coverage of this match has been incredibly patronising and the uncultured cunts keep on calling us one of the British teams. Hope we smash them.

Have to get the ball into the air and try to exploit their weakness there in defence. Rami is a poor enough player and Kos is weak in the air. We won't out muscle or out play them in mid-field. Worried Giroud is tailor made to beat our defence.

Irishgunner

Definitely, lofted balls to Murphy or long balls down the channel for Long to chase. Evra's been dodgy so far, think Long might have the beating of him if can drift out wide a bit. Glad they haven't gone for Coman on the right, think he'd tear our left flank to shreds tbh.

They are mostly talking about the QFs and SFs who they will face. They consider this match already won 😆

What a stupid challenge by Pogba.

Mirth

Pogba's a fucking idiot. 😆

Jens

That escalated quickly.

Mirth

In off the post. Thank fuck for an early goal.

Long cheated to win that penalty. Pogba didn't make a move toward him at all, it was all Long moving his leg toward Pogba.

Kel Varnsen

Clearly a penalty. Clumsy move by Pogba.

Just went to replay that moment. Pogba did move into him as Long was setting himself for a shot. Clear penalty in my opinion.

Only seen one replay but it looked like Long knew precisely what he was doing and Pogba's only mistake was his initial move toward the ball - after that it was all Long looking for contact by sweeping his leg into Pogba's.

Could always use ITV's online streaming. Remember to put SW1A 1AA as your post code :saint:

Yep, that one's good for me.

Well, this has been a great start for the neutrals. 😃
