The conspiracy theorist in me thinks the ref is under orders to get France through.

Font know that the ref is consciously helping them, I just think he has no gall.

France are clearly getting some control now anyway. Griezmann has made the difference.

Biddy_61

It was only a matter of time. Sorry for Nigeria.

Will I Amnt

Bink!

letowski

Just as Kerr says the keeper has been reliable, he ****s up !!

J. Marston

Well, piss.

JONJO THE MISER

GOAL soft goal in the end.

LightningBlue

PogbAAAA!

Invertpyramid

Does he have Nigerian ancestry? He did the whole fake "im not celebrating, celebration."

Birdnuts

Thats it - France to advance. They won't win the WC based on that performance though

Knex*

Alkin is getting Cabaye and Valbuena, who is half his size, ridiculously mixed up.

Come on like, you'd swear it was Cissokho and Sakho.

Biddy_61

Goalie flapped at it.

kevohmsford

Poor from the keeper

tigger123

No more than he deserves. Great header too.

Al_Coholic

goal was coming,France have played a lot better since Griezman came on for Giroud

GreNoLi

Kiss of death.

Corholio

Only thing Pogba's done all game. Was probably coming though. Keeper been far too erratic from corners.

Son Of A Vidic

Shocking goalkeeping hands them a soft goal. Nigerian keeper will definitely be on Pogba's Christmas card list.

Turtwig

Goalkeeper took it off the head of evra only to knock it onto pogba's head.

RTE and their commentators and pundits are useless.

To be fair Kerr is great at his job and Richie has been the best WC pundit on any UK/Irish channel by a mile. Kenny is actually possibly next best in terms of sheer knowledge/insight (but badly lacks personality) while Hamann is also class. Friedel too, but I think his appearance was a once off. Hamiltons not bad either as a commentatorbut some don't like him I suppose, and Darragh is a good presenter having been pretty horrible at it in his earlier years.

It's the Old Boys Club faction that is absolutely appalling and continuously drags the rest down with them, in my opinion.

Don't know about that, I thought Pogba had a particularly good first half.

Turtwig

Grievzman (sp?) has made a massive difference to France.

Game changer that sub.

If France want to win the WC, Giroud needs to be kept away from the pitch

I didnt think he did, was slow to react to possession Nigeria had throughout the match and has been a bit slow on the ball. France's midfield in general have been poor.

Least deserved win so far?

Enyeama has been fantastic despite that.

JONJO THE MISER

2-0.

Say Your Number

That's that.

Two nil

LightningBlue

Lovely finish by Griezmann.

Why would you start Giroud ahead of him?

tigger123

Game over.

Birdnuts

Nigeria have collapsed since the second lad had to go off injured

Maximus Alexander

LOL at Griezmann, he's like "I didn't touch it guys, came off the def... ah whatever, let's just hug".

GreNoLi

Hope France don't win the world cup.

Fudge You

All you ever do is talk about the Pundits/commentators.
Do you ever give it a rest???

Nuri Sahin

Griezmann better get MOTM and another step towards player of the tourney award.

Look forward to hearing what Deschamps has to say with regards to the line up he went with.

tigger123

They should have given the Nigerian players more World Cup Bonuses at half time.

My name is URL

Yet the ref spotted that handball :pac:

Corholio

Id be worried about starting quarter final if I was Koscielny, had a poor enough game today. But Deschamps changes the team every game it seems anyway, so who knows.

Griezmann be like

Birdnuts

Germany will kick their ass

Neeson

You can tell who is and isn't in Brazil. When the logo flashed up at the end of the match and Kerr was talking over it there was no background sound from the crowd.

Whenever Hamilton etc is on the crowd noise is heard along with the commentators voice when that logo goes up.

And even if they somehow go all the way, The Iron Tulip will do them.

vidor

What's the deal with refs not adding on any time after 90mins? Goal+sub but was blown up right on 5 mins. Noticed it in most games so far.
