Terrible from Griezmann. This is the first real good quality game Ive seen this World Cup.
Yeah, this has been a good match, two good teams.
Benzema is better than Griezmann in every way imaginable.
And I really am glad we no longer have to suffer watching Giroud for Arsenal.
Ooouuff.
Great play from Mbappe again.
Yeah, it's hard to imagine Auba missing this many chances

I don't think you are but he's a very likeable bloke, doesn't seem to have an ego. I think most fans like Giroud the person more than the footballer
Mbappe makes things happen whenever he’s around the ball.
What do the English think? Both these teams look quite good for England.
I think both sides are significantly better than England.
If England go through tomorrow they win the World Cup.
Pretty much. I'd argue there's more quality on the pitch today then there was during the CL final.
The Englishman here would prefer France in the final. He'd also like to see Fellaini score the winning goal in the WC Final so possibly should discount what he says.
I like him and I defended him a lot but I wouldn't say I miss him. Aruba and Láca are both better than him.
This Zenit stadium is so well designed. One of the best ever
Lukaku showing a lack of top class striker instinct there.
Auba instead of lukaku for belgium and Costa instead of giroud for France. Now that'd have been a classic. These two forwards don't deserve games like this.
Giroud has been active though - good movement, winning some balls in the air, etc. Yes he's slow and can't finish. It's Griezmann who looks completely out of place and is doing nothing for me.
Kante is such a brilliant player.
I am watching it in the stadium. Giroud has been terrible. So passive.
I can't believe France aren't setup to give Mbappe more of the ball.
Hazard was sensational everytime he could be bothered.

Deschamps :ffs: :ffs: :ffs:
Yeah Hazard hasn't looked this good for years.
Kante and Matuidi have been bigger passengers than Griezmann for me, the latter has been okay but plays too deep. Giroud has done well enough for himself but as arsedoc says this game deserves better strikers. Better managers too
