France not liking the physical approach by the Aussies, but Australia are starting to grow into the game.

 

Committing a lot of fouls, though. The ref could be important here.

 

Or a Saturday.

 

Two balls have busted in this game already? How unlikely is that? Embarrassing for Adidas.

 

Aussies now winning the 50-50s

 

diving french pricks, cmon Aussies

 

0-0 HT. Very poor from France, but the Aussies have worked hard and shut them down.
They'll be far happier with that half, but they need to keep on it and don't give the French a chance to get going.

 

Very watchable first half. France have been put off their game by a well executed game plan.

 

Morocco/Iran was far more watchable than Egypt/Uruguay

 

dont think there will be another cracker like spain v portugal, at least in the group stages

 

Mark Lawrenson is trending on Twitter

...oh that's a shame, it's because he's commentating.

 

Hernandez trying to con the ref by trying tell he was elbowed

 

What’s the ****ing point of Var? The replay shows the Australia defender touched the ball, but the ref has still given a penalty, and booked the bloke.

 

Really unlucky undeserved lead. VAR passes another test.

 

fking joke 5 minutes after the fact

 

give him a red for that, cmon Aussies

 

Roo you will find the the Aussie defender just misses the ball and catches the player

 

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

And we have another pen this time at the other end- gooooooaaaaaalll.
Sorry musty!
Now it's game on

 

I just don’t he how he can go against a clear touch of the ball on the replay.

Justice though. Got themselves a penalty against Hugo. Unless Jedinak literally misses the target, he’s scoring all day long against him. Hugo doesn’t do saving penalties.
