Allez les Bleus. A trashing coming up?

[Harryseaess]

I don't care who wins, just another great match with a few goals will do me.

Honduras aren't too bad, limited but hard-working and committed with a handful of good players (esp. Izaguirre). I think they'll compete.

I think Honduras are one of the worst teams in the world cup. The only thing they really having going for them is the climate. I think France will be quite comfortable on the scoreline at least

[pearcey_90]

Debuchy starting over Sagna

[EnterUsernameHere]

Hope Griezmann scores a few, on him to be France's top goalscorer at 12/1.

Start the coverage with highlights of Englands game last night... as you do.

[EnterUsernameHere]

By the end of the World Cup I'll have seen these England/Italy goals at least two trillion times.

[Pukey]

At least they've moved on to tonight's game pretty quickly I suppose

[Pukey]

Never mind, back to England ****ing hell

[JD nawrat]

Good line-up for France. Think they'll win 2-0.

Griezmann fgs

France my second team after Italy, so hoping the French do well here.

[Icondacarver]

Griezmann to be amazing today.

[pearcey_90]

Does Matudi play further forward then Cabaye for France?

[Andrew_]

So Henry showing support to Anelka, even though he didn't know what Anelka said, just because if they sent him home then what was written in the papers was true? :confused:

[scott MUFC]

France V wigan

[georginho_juventusygr]

Who the heck is this Griezmann?! It's about Pogba.

[craigcwwe]

Varane winning just his 7th cap for France tonight. Pogba getting his 12th cap.

[noikeee]

Does Matudi play further forward then Cabaye for France?

Yes, Cabaye plays behind as DM, Matuidi and Pogba side-by-side ahead of him.

[Fe98]

By the end of the World Cup I'll have seen this England goal at least two trillion times.

Fixed.....

[dudge7]

Got some money on Benzema being top scorer this year so hoping he can get off to a good start with a hat trick or something.

[ringwoodrob]

very nice!

[JD nawrat]

Who the heck is this Griezmann?! It's about Pogba.

Spotlight is on Griezmann because he's replacing Ribéry.

[Icondacarver]

They must relate everything back to England.

[pearcey_90]

Yes, Cabaye plays behind as DM, Matuidi and Pogba side-by-side ahead of him.

Ah fair enough Guessing he recycles the possession more for France, then floating around edge of area like he did when at Newcastle. Will be interesting to see him play that role.

[JD nawrat]

He's used like a budget Pirlo

Half the talent half the quality.

[Gary_Parker]

Thierry Henry owning Robbie Savage, brilliant

[aiston]

Calls for another over 2.5 bet.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Pogbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

[JD nawrat]

Calls for another over 2.5 bet.

My mate said the same thing.

I'm not sure I agree. We saw v England how Honduras can be very defensive. I expect them to play similarly today.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Spotlight is on Griezmann because he's replacing Ribéry.

It's still about Pogba.

[dafuge]

No anthems?

[JD nawrat]

Sound system must be fecked if they're not playing the national anthems.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Did I just miss the national anthems?

[JD nawrat]

It's still about Pogba.

Yeah I was just meaning, they're focussing on Griezmann most because of that.

Pogba is the future of France, I think everyone knows this.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Oh, it's not only me.

[craigcwwe]

No anthems.

[aiston]

My mate said the same thing.

I'm not sure I agree. We saw v England how Honduras can be very defensive. I expect them to play similarly today.

Maybe, but with Betfair's extra odds it seems worth it (some rush bet thing happening).

[ringwoodrob]

No anthems.

Fluff on the needle say 5live

[Gary_Parker]

France look more like Scotland in that strip. Hope they don't play like them.

[sean_oc16]

Looking forward to seeing France, plenty of exciting talents in their squad.

[JD nawrat]

We play good football nowadays, thank you very much

Also we wear white shorts and blue socks but yeah, close enough
