France v Nigeria.
I just saw Valbuena take a corner with the ball actually well within the quadrant. Unorthodox!

Poor old Sakho ;(
Pet hate of mine. It's so easily prevented too, assuming we have linesmen rather than blind men

did pogba just do what i've wanted to do for a while ? kick moses in the face.
Nigeria score but chalked off for offside (correctly, but just). Consider France warned now - they don't seem to be at the races at the back today so far.
Did he? Damn I missed that. Hope he does it again.
Wow. That was a brilliant save. Pogba was already wheeling away to celebrate.

i know his record is decent (and that he'll now probably score today) but so often giroud just looks like a donkey .
and what's he doing with his elbow there?

Was it Mikel he was trying to smash? Can't say I would be too disappointed if that happened.
No idea. The Russian commentators in my stream always seem to be uttering some gibberish but never the players' names. I'm not even sure they're talking about football.
He seemed good against Argentina but could be one of those would cup wonders. Surely there's a stream in a language you can understand?
Not one with decent quality for me though. Been using the Sopcast streams from Russia, and they've been the best in terms of reliability. Bloodzeed broadcasts in Acestream now, and the streams come with English commentary, but they're delayed and rather choppy.
Hang on, I know who is Musa now - he just took a shit corner, but he's looked pretty decent so far.

It's impossible to be too harsh on Moses.
I'll raise you my Chinese commentators who, because they can't actually follow the game or name the players, just talk about the group matches or what this or that player has done for his club !

Valbuena has played well, he hardly ever seems to put a pass astray and his crosses are on the money .. but (sizist alert) could you imagine having him in your team ? Never mind having to negotiate with Ken Dodd for the transfer !
Both of these defences are shite. Nigeria's excessively so .. can't believe France haven't scored yet. In fact with France's defence on strike I am surprised we are looking at 0-0. My 3-1 prediction looks solid if the chances keep coming !
I really have to say England were unlucky to come up against two defensive minded countries in Italy and Uruguay who at least know how to organise a defence. Would have loved to have seen what damage Sterling & Sturridge could have done against a team with a defence like this.

LOL @ marvellous piece of reverse handball skill by Moses.

that looked like it hurt , right on the ankle. crap tackle by the french lad .
Don't think Matuidi could have complained too much if that was a red card.
That would explain the amount of bend on it.
Giroud coming in for Sissoko hasn't worked, France should really be beating these without much fuss.
Pogba's volley and the disallowed Nigerian goal aside, the quality of finishing in this game has been poor. Matched by the porous defences on both sides like Frogfish said.
