mike65

Nuri Sahin

It's always cat as is ITVs coverage.

It'll be interesting to see if the French are given a stern test tonight. I fancy them for the tournament and Chile my dark horse

Be nice if Chile win it they are the team I drew out of the hat as winners.

Whatever about winning the tournament i fancy Chile to give Brazil a serious game on Saturday

I'd expect them to beat Brazil if paulinhio is in the centre. If Fernandinho plays it will make the brazilian midfield much more functional and harder to supply sanchez

Sakho elbow lol

Might get pulled on that yet

Sakho looking to join Suarez on the early flight home.

Frankie Lee

How did they not see that, looked fairly obvious.

Soldie

Anyone watching on the BBC? Commentator (who is it?) seems to think it's Colombia playing France.

OwaynOTT

Second unseen elbow in two days, need more refs.

If you are referring to Chiellini's elbow on Suarez then you are referring to self defence after being bitten. Yes, bitten. Go make a t-shirt or something.

Skylinehead

Phil Neville vs Ray Houghton. Not a choice I wanted to make.

He is a clown,also said pre match if results go against France it could be France Australia in the second round! wtf? (i think he said that,edefinitely said Australia!)

Lukker-

How Sakho gets in the team above Koscielny is baffling.

He definitely said that the winner of the group plays Nigeria and the second one Australia.

No, I'm referring to the continuous cases of violent conduct that are going unseen by referees and the response of the football authorities, which is to add more officials instead of giving the fourth offical the ability to intervene with the aid of video analysis.
Obviously this power would also cut out all unsavoury incidents, which would include the bite of Suarez and Costa's headbutt.

Valbuena really makes the front three tick. France not nearly as sharp without him starting.
Sissoko's getting a lot of ball but he's creating nothing.

TIL you can use a teacosy as a bandage

What other elbow was there yesterday? Or today for that matter?

Bacchus

Bizarre looking bandage. Doesn't look like it stopping any blood flow.

The Swiss 2 up now. Ecuador need to up their game.

mike65

The crosses from France are pretty rank.

Ecuador will need to push up of course with Shaqiri putting the Swiss in the driving seat so the cheese and baguettes will get more chances

greendom

France really missing Valbuena

celticcrash

France looks like their conserving energy.
It looks like my over 2.5 is a no go.

Son Of A Vidic

I wish somebody would shove a sock in Ray Houghton's mouth and silence his nonsense.

greendom

Phil Neville is much improved on his previous outing

mike65

Digne should be put in a Dinghy and floated off.

josh101st

Benzema will get 2 and giroud will get at least 1

He is talking more now. He was better at the start

Just turned on. Judging by the boos at half time, I'm guessing I didn't miss much

Deserved. Hopefully France take advantage and we see some goals.
