France & Uruguay have played each other 5 times since 1985 with a total goals tally of 1. They also met in the 2013 Final of the World u-20 Cup - obviously it finished 0-0.

If Cavani is out, hard to see France not winning tbh.

Dunno. They've still got Suarez and when the defence is that good they might only need one goal. France aren't half as good going forward as Argentina made them look.

 

[duffer]

Let's go France....

The ref needs to get a grip before this turns really ugly.

Yeah this is pretty much exactly the game everyone was expecting.

 

[sledger]

Good save by Lloris there, but not as good as the commentators are making out.

 

[Pratters]

Great save.

 

[wpdavid]

Fine goal though.
And a fine save by Lloris.

I'm enjoying it actually. But I can see this getting really naughty.

Varane isn't getting enough credit for that run+header, both were absolutely perfect. 95% of the time that delivery is headed away and Griezmann gets criticised for "not beating the first man".

I thought it was pretty good. More so the positioning than the dive. The goal was a fairly similar situation and Muslera got nowhere near it.

Yeah, I'm probably being overly critical tbh.

Haha, yeah it totally is.

It's weird because you only need to have played 10 minutes of football to realise that heading the ball is really, really hard. But for someone reason everyone forgets it when they're just watching.

**** me

 

[sledger]

Hmmm "just catch it". Yeah, it's that easy after all.

 

[vcs]

Karius-ed that.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

That shot took a really late swerve away from the keeper, weird.

As someone who knows how awful it feels when you do that in park football, I can't imagine what it feels like in front of the entire world.
