    French team has been announced

    Lloris (C) - Debuchy, Varane, Sakho, Evra - Sissoko, Cabaye, Matuidi - Valbuena, Giroud, Benzema.

    2 changes with Sissoko replacing Pogba and Giroud in for Griezmann

    If Switzerland play like they did against Ecuador the French should walk it. Hopefully they'll step up their game and give us a contest!

    No Pogba? It would make sense to play him and let him get a yellow if they seal the game up

    Harsh on Griezmann - thought he did well the last day.

    They should have played that anthem twice to make up for the last game.

    It's his style. He lets a lot of stuff go.
    He gave 1 card in the Italy-England game at it was in stoppage time at the end of the game to Sterling for fcuk all.

    He got the Champions League final by being lenient and if he doesn't make a massive balls up he'll get the World Cup final as well.

    Great header by Giroud.
    Swiss haven't learned from the Ecuador game, still shíte at defending set-pieces.

    I'm not happy with the decline in standards. Should be an automatic yellow card for high-fiving your manager.

    Peter Collins channeling Kermit D Frog..
