Euro 2016 - Group A - Cuisine de France vs The Home of Dracula

Harry Palmr

Evra stealing a living, can't help but suspect that for all their potential flair, that creaky back line really isn't going to get them to the final.

Kante is the player I'd take from this lot.

Ropiest French player of the match lads? evra?

Absolutely the guy is poison.

All I remember about Romania is Ceaușescu and the wife in the fur coat riddled with bullets in Reeling in the Years. And that penalty shout out with shampoo guy

Hmm that Romanian nearly got to first base with Giroud. Should have been a peno!

Looked to me like Giroud was the one trying it on.

Where is the young French centre back that at Madrid?

klose

Im surprised a team of so many talented players have been built around the notion of crossing in high balls to giroud.

RobertKK

France need Martial on.

If Ollie was trying it on they'd both be smoking now in post coital bliss

Mars Bar

Pogba off Martial on

Rayne Wooney

Pogba was very poor

Correct decision

Injured

Pogba very disappointing tonight.

Superhorse

That's a crazy sub.

Pogba £80m.

~Rebel~

Martial on for Pogba?!

Weird.

Would've had him on for Giroud.

gandalf

Yep Pogba hasn't performed tonight at all.

greendom

Coman has done nothing since he came on

Drexel

Payet has been great

citytillidie

Romania starting to play Rugby that France kit does look like the rugby kit

Hagi and Dumitrescu in USA 94, they'd have some fun with that French defence

Giroud has been getting a lot of stick today but he has been one of France's better players tonight. Def looks the most like scoring

mansize

Last time I saw France play in Stade de France New Zealand ripped them a new one...
(Actually it was the one where they beat Sexton half to death)

Rayne Wooney

Is that Gignac warming up?

Kind of a pointless change if it's for Giroud

Paully D

Any videos of the Evra challenge for the penalty floating around please?

awec

The better teams will smash France if this is how they play.

It seems to be directing everything through Giroud. Weak from Martial there

Ah c'mon. Gignac is a little more...rotund

ahem Rotund

Arghus

Popa looks like a fan of the fry-up based sporting diet.

Smash??? Jees they aren't that bad! In fact they look very good at times in what is a nervy performance.

Romania are hardly a bad team!

Peist2007

France are a complete mess at the back.

I've worked on this for a while, so it's perfect.

If the Romanians dribbled more often, they'd get pastrami.

"My word, the flag was up, but there was a free header there"..

You dont really get how this works yet do you George.

No offside there

I backed payet

Andre 3000

France have lost their sting since taking off Griezmann and Pogba

Johner

West Ham will do well to hold on to Payet this summer.

Arghus

Payet with some magic again.

That_Guy

Payet's been on another level tonight... particularly second half. Dead balls have been poor but he's opened Romania up single handedly.

dubrov

Payet had been a little magician tonight. He keeps finding space where there doesn't seem to be any

They are all over the place at the back. They look decent going forward but the better teams will punish them.

GLaDOS

Romania are the type of team people moaned about being included when the expanded format was announced. Done themselves proud tonight (eh, apart from their goalkeeper ).

Enjoyable game anyway. France far from convincing.

Johner

Romania deserve a point here.

As was Pogba but France aren't half as threatening without them.
