well deserved hattrick for CR7

CR 7

It's one thing scoring against the likes of Sweden, but he'll never ever score in an important game.

Nerdlingr

F*ckin hell, hat trick for ronaldo. the man is a machine.

Cards all around for the celebration I assume?

The French have been pretty constant in that department too in fairness.

Benzema should have scored.

Yes France fouling just as much now - game very disjointed

I thought it might have been offside too after the first save, he certainly celebrated like it was his anyways.

Vincent Vega

ah bollocks, was hoping for ET+penalties.

Yeah I am trying to jinx it, all night I have been hoping for 3-0 to France then for Ukraine to get a late bundled hand ball goal.

extra time if it finishes 3 - 1. if it stays that way then Ukraine go though

Think Sakho kneed it in alright. Difficult to see even with the replays!
Cmon Ukraine FFS!!!

greendom

Sensible move to take Debuchy off. On a yellow card and in danger of making it worse

KevIRL

Hold please France, much prefer to see them at the finals over Ukraine

Away goals not count? Ukraine won first leg 2-0

Edit: So they play extra time and then away goals count, got it.

Weren't the French moaning about the seedings a few weeks back?

Anyway, that's some uphill battle now for them, but I have the strange feeling, they will turn the match around on Tuesday

Well... :eek:

No further comment required, please

Jelle1880

This France performance was fantastic, a complete turn around from the first leg.

Sakho is an absolute beast as well.

Watched that earlier, about as entertaining as watching grass grow. One side (Burkina Faso) timewasted for over an hour(21 minute half time break) conceeded & got a taste of their own medicine.

Spain I reckon would be the other seed, useful enough crew, potential darkhorse.

Switzerland top seeds????

They walked through their group and have a very good side with a lot of talented players.

Could well cause a surprise or two.

briany

Doesn't look to be a poor side in the list so it could be a very solid World Cup. That said, one of the things I enjoy about the World Cup is cheering on that far flung, ill equipped side who make it through some mad one-off stroke of fortune, like Mongolia, the Solomon Islands or Tajikistan.

Credit to them for taking care of business in their group, but it was quite weak all the same. Norway, Iceland, Slovenia, Albania and Cyprus is a modest enough group.

I think the other 31 teams will be hoping they land in the same group as them.

pickarooney

No Paraguay this time. Not sure they'll be missed.
