Would love to see irankunda use his speed like that

Ubstoppable goal ....mind u thats a very poor offside trap on replay

 

[JS96]

Yeah its cheating to initiate contact like that, good job not giving it. France should try and earn the goal

It's rampant in the sport where players fall forward or trail to initiate contact.

 

[JS96]

Senegal score but flag up. Right call by the looks but the tech should offer an interest view.

 

[JS96]

Looked offside but it happens every week that the diagonal view can be very deceptive.

Gee our refs have made headlines here

First playing the circle game in a country where weirdos have turned the ok symbol into a white power symbol

Then one annoys the bbc commentators by not giving mbappe a pen

Good on Faghani for sticking to his non penalty decision.France have come alive in second half.Olises's pass to Mbappe for the goal and Kylian's run and finish were both magnificent.

Legacy! I enjoyed early in the game how what looked like hard shoves were actually let go as players just want to fall.

 

[JS96]

Olise lying down after a clip but play continues. It's the right way. Make players realise they'll have to go through 20 seconds of pain and get up quickly when a simple clash isn't foul play.

Senegal really impressive in some parts but their defenaive shape at times has been all over the place

 

[JS96]

Barcola 2:0. The difference makers doing it now. Senegal will be disappointed for not being greedy earlier on.

USA toyed with them early in that friendly.

I think Haaland will have a decent show against them.

 

[booney52]

What a goal by Barcola.The dink over Mendy at the pace he was going was great to see.

 

[grazorblade]

France look tough to beat this tournament

 

[JS96]

Glad France are winning as a lot of these surprising draws are concerning for the 3rd placed table. These draws are a bonus for many teams and if their H2H game against the other perceived weaker team is won, 4 points will surely see them through.

Australia may still end up on 3. The debate on whether 3 deserves advancement probably depends on your performance despite results indicating points.

Bradley Barcola scores in the 82nd minute for France to extend their lead to 2-0 near the end of regulation time. Adrien Rabiot with the assist.

 

[booney52]

The Senegalese LB Diouf and the French LB Doue are both very classy.

 

[JS96]

That's me done. Eyes so heavy. No way I'll make the beer harden for England at 10pm tomorrow. The hot weather is coming.

3 SBS mini matches in morning. Good luck to Graham Arnold!

Austrian fans hyped to return.

I believe Kansas City will be the final stadium to get its first game? Trust Mahomes to attend if he isn't away in pre season.

The Socceroos are perfectly capable of achieving a top two finish in the group though.

 

[HappyGuus]

Geez Senegal can whack them with power

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Ibrahim Mbaye scores in the fifth minute of second half stoppage time for Senegal to pull a goal back for them and make the score 2-1. Iliman Ndiaye with the assist.
