I'm going to be out while the Australia-France match is on, so I'm going to try and avoid news and watch it the following afternoon. We'll see if I can pull it off.
That said, the Argentina-Iceland match is on a few hours after, and I'll be watching that. So it might not last beyond that, commentator-depending.
It's a real pity that Denmark-Peru is 2am here, because that could be a fun match too.
Going to watch every game today. And the rugby. What a fucking day.
I have a wedding today at 4.
I wonder if I can get away with watching the start of Peru/Denmark in the Church.
I’m rooting for Tim Cahill.
Liking France so far.
The fullbacks have bottlers written all over them though.
The French are diving almost as much as the Spanish were.
The Aussies are bound to get something on set pieces if the French keep fouling them near the area.
France are utter pig filth, as they have been for a long time. Get laying that 1.1 TQ price.
People had this shower to win the whole thing too.
Who is this Hernandez, the French left back? Ive never heard of him in my life. Is he using a different name at club level or something?
1-0 late Giroud winner.
Google tells me its Lucas Hernandez at Atletico Madrid. Confusion about Real Madrid here lads.
Genuinely never even seen either before in my life, not even on FIFA or FM...
Are France going to out-Belgium Belgium?
Well, that was bad.
I'm regretting that tenner I put on France to win it before it all started. They look fucking awful.
That's been awful from the Surrender Monkeys.
My eyes.
France will probably be better playing on the counter against good teams.
Drogba with no hair looks crazy.
Can we have all female pundits? Infinity more insightful than the likes of Neville.
The right back, Pavard, looks to be a shower.
Good to see Neville bringing his secretary along.
One went to real and the other replaced him in the starting line up at athletico.
Both are diving bastards.
France have been shit in every opening game I can recall, except for 3 minutes against England in 2004. This is no shock.
Well that was completely predictable.
Fuck that shit.
That looked a bit soft to bother with that.
What would have happened if Australia had gone a scored n the break then...?
Not to worry he'll miss it. Too big a moment.
Was there even contact for that?
Boooooooo.
Also, what's the point of those 6 odd refs in that room in Moscow if the ref just ends up making the decision???
That's more like it. Don't need the small fry messing up the knockout stages.
EDIT: Balls. What a fucking idiot.
Refs needs to understand what “clear and obvious” means.
That took over 4 minutes from start to goal. Too long, barely any of it will be made up in stoppage time.
Good old France
They'll miss, but still.
Lol.
Australia deserve something from this match, to be fair.
What’s gone through his mind there?!
