Deshamps is that kinda manager, he listens to the media far to much

I think it shows the strength of the French squad. That 2 key players can be dropped and the 11 still looks incredibly strong (apart from Evra and Rami)

All over France betting wise for this. Straight win, minus a goal and minus two goals. Usually when I get carried away like that disaster looms

I'm just not a fan of Souness.

What you putting on?

GreNoLi

Payet in his rightful position.

Grandeeod

A Draw.:eek:

Ya gotta shake it up!

Allez less blues

Agent Smith

Choosing between TV3 and ITV to watch football in like choosing if your going to get a dick slap from your Aunt or Uncle....


Anyways....


Go Albania!

mansize

ITV HD ftw

Bilic defends Giroud

Mr.Nice Guy

I'd like to see Albania win to shake up the group but I think France will win 2-0.

RobertKK

So sad we have to remember innocent people killed by terrorists.

I don't know what the terrorists think they will achieve, apart from needless death.

The sound on ITV is really strange. One minute is fine. Next moment it sounds like I'm listening to the game through a telephone made from a can. :pac:

RobertKK

France are starting strong, but they better make easier work of this than their first game.

Mr.Nice Guy

Why did Lenjani shoot there? Brainless.

Streaming TV3 from either the TV3 website or Horizon Go is really poor

I'm streaming from the TV3 website on Eir and its perfect.

I'm trying to stream it here on a 250 meg Virgin connection and it's ok until I bring it up to full screen on a 24" monitor , then it gets blurry . I'm used to all matches being crystal clear, this is like stepping back two years in time . I only ever have this problem with TV3 .

Lovely Bloke

grand on Vodafone internet

GreNoLi

Kante makes interceptions look sexy.

ShamoBuc

Pitch isn't great. A lot of slipping and it is cutting up too easily.

SlickRic

Has Evra been this shíte for Juventus?

Mars Bar

Both teams are giving the ball away very easily.

That_Guy

France look like a team really under pressure. Albania have made a good game of this.

GreNoLi

Coman looks one dimensional.

Andre 3000

France are playing awful. They need Pogba and Griezmann ASAP.

TV3 player is never the best. You can't adjust the screen quality for a start. But I'm surprised the Virgin (former UPC) connection is blurry. I'm on Eir at 100 meg at best and its great.

Anyway...Albania doing well so far!

WinnyThePoo

Albania really giving it a good go

namloc1980

Brutal from France. They're playing terribly. Very casual on the ball. Payet is invisible.

adox

Poor game so far. Pitch looks crap tbh.

Mars Bar

Lovely bit of skill from Coman there

martyos121

Does he get a prize for doing a Marseille roulette in Marseille? :pac:

Mr.Nice Guy

Oooh that was a well worked corner.

RobertKK

France will need to improve a lot if they are to win the Euros.

Clear Hearts

France have the same problem as Belgium and Brazil, they thought hiring a former captain as manager was going to motivate the players to play well while over looking far better managers in doing so.

Never mind the Euros, they'll need to up their game to win this game.

Albania doing very well from set pieces. Obviously they've spent a lot of time on them.

Andre 3000

It's been a nightmare 45 for Martial, and to a lesser extent Coman.

Toobz

Martial has been awful!

Skylinehead

Martial's been dreadful.

derm0j073

Good bit of refereeing there.

Grandeeod

Albania putting up a good show so far.

BorneTobyWilde

All these extra places in Euros making for some poor early games.

martyos121

France need to get Pogba on more so than Griezmann, there's no use brining on a forward if he's getting no decent service.

Better team I would say. France have been dire.

The Talking Bread

Credit where its due, great commentary by TV3 tonight.

ShamoBuc

Martial could very easily be dragged at ht
