Is it Australia Day or something?
They're on TV playing football and cricket and Kyrgios is playing tennis - all at the same time.

1-1 now. Denmark will need a point to stay in if it stays like this if Australia beat Peru (although a high scoring, low margin loss might suffice). You'd make Australia favourite for second place if this is a draw.
France's system looks slightly off, to me. They're doing the same thing that Belgium did.
Too many good players being made to fit into whatever they can think of when everyone's selected.
Is it a 4-2-3-1? A 4-3-3? Who's supposed to be their main creative outlet? Pogba, maybe? Not doing it.

1-0. Mbappe. Great work from Pogba, but really lucky to get that deflection right into the goalscorer's path.
The ten minutes to the break will be interesting.

Another of the lesser sides exhibiting admirable athleticism and just not having enough class 'up top' to score the goals that they need to win games. Australia completely dominated Denmark in the second half but they could have played all night and not scored the winner.
Unless they got another penalty.
I saw somewhere that their last five competitive goals were all Jedinak. 4 pens and a free-kick.
I thought that they were fairly fortunate with the VAR decisions and the Danish coach ran out of ideas.
Not sure if he thought that a draw would do or what, but they didn't do enough to win it.
You'd think that Swedes outdrinking Russians would be a matter of national pride.
They seem overwhelmed by the demand, for some reason.
Qatar might not have the same problem...
As laughable as Bendtner was, he'd have done a job for Denmark. Thank god we weren't interested in Delaney as some hacks suggested. He showed nothing at all. Eventually, Eriksen just got dragged down to the level of the rest.
Is it worth pointing out that, after literally years worth of horror stories in the press about how this World Cup would be tainted by hooliganism and racism, we're currently two weeks into the tournament and there hasn't been any reports of either tainting the tournament?
Apart from the French gay couple that were hospitalised and one of whom was left with brain injuries.
Russia have been winning, of course, while Putin's supposedly laid the law down with his neo-Nazi mates.
Let's hope that it carries on being fairly limited.
If VAR wasn't operating, this could have been a real blood bath. I'm expecting a red card in the second half.

Apologies if repeating previous comments, but........
Fabregas is a complete ****
Once a Gooner, always a twat - but his refusal to acknowledge anything good from our club or players (past and present) is just embarrassing.
