Griezemann channelling his inner hazard for creating then ruining an attacking moment

At times, he must make one hell of a frustrating teammate though

I mean he's fizzed a few lovely balls in, (as well as De Bruyne) and Lukaku was no where to be seen.

I don't really get the selfish attitude some see on here. From watching him at Chelsea the common perception is that he isn't selfish enough.

George hamilton is all over the shop identfying players

StringerBell · 10-07-2018 7:39pm

Selfishness is killing both teams offensively

*When teammates are better placed obviously*

Paully D · 10-07-2018 7:40pm

Excellent save from Courtois.

Pogba feeds Pogba

lawred2 · 10-07-2018 7:42pm

I count 5 rubbish attempts by Chadli at crossing the ball..

StringerBell · 10-07-2018 7:44pm

Ref being very lenient with the cards so far

StringerBell · 10-07-2018 7:44pm

Lads, griezemann has been cat

He's not been great, I don't think the system suits him at all. Not been impressed all tournament.

Sprinter Sacre · 10-07-2018 7:50pm

I know it didn't work too well in the first game but I'd love to see Dembele on for Giroud the lump and give Mbappe a right go down the middle and it'll bring Griezmann into the game more as well. They've all the quality in the world, no need to have to hoof it up to Giroud.

One R away from calling that side Charizard. Pity

They all heard about the Ronaldo move, so all playing for a move to the Bernabeu!

Hazard winning it so far.

retalivity · 10-07-2018 8:07pm

Was there that many empty seats in the fh? I am only noticing them now

StringerBell · 10-07-2018 8:09pm

Even when it's very obviously not pogba, even when the player in question is standing, nay, dancing with his back to the camera and his name on said back.

Hamilton "and it's pogba.....is it?"

ERG89 · 10-07-2018 8:09pm

It's there it's......(C'mon George you can get this, French, he's black) Pogba! No, it's Umtiti.

10-07-2018 8:09pm

Did it come off Fellani's elbow?

Ronnie Whelan: This is the best I've ever seen Matuidi play.

Translation: I've barely ever seen Matuidi play before.

Probably getting confused with calling him Pogba all the time so he's thinking Pogba is Matuidi.

Well, you can’t always get what you want.

Absolute filth from Mbappe

StringerBell · 10-07-2018 8:14pm

Hamilton clearly has no glasses tonight

ctrl-alt-delete · 10-07-2018 8:14pm

That was sublime by Mbappe,

If only Giroud had some speed, he'd have had a few.

Careful there Ronnie that is damn near a compliment by you.

Kante is some player, I know we know, but he really is just some player.

Belgium Need to put someone else on corners

Belgium seem constrained by fear. Both teams are cagey, but they are also very edgy in possession, Debruyne giving the ball away, Hazard trying hard but running down cul de sacs, Lukaku anonymous missing the one chance he got from the header. From the 30th minute or so France have been much the better side, maybe when Belgium have no chance they will 'throw off the shackles' (I hate that phrase) and have a go, which will probably suit France down to the ground.
