Quote from: Mourne Red on July 14, 2026, 08:22:57 PMIdiotic from Digne.. The theatrics of the team conceding the penalty has annoyed me a lot this Tournament

It was very like what they were (justifiably) up in arms over Paraguay's behaviour against them.

Vieiras over confidence being shown up by the Spanish here.

Probably what the game needed we will see what French are made of now.

Yeah France have a bit more about them so I think this is good for the game.

They were all chatting shit on ITV, France may still win but I thought it very poor punditry.

Sorry what is going on with VAR.. It's not a free but you can't re-referee. Officiating been bizarre this WC

Perfect example of why it should be avoided in GAA

That was always the danger for this French team. Spain to control tempo and disrupt French rhythm. See what French are made of now. That's a very well disciplined Spanish outfit.

Association football needs to enforce a rule that if you signal a head injury - ie hold your head after a challenge - that you get a 2 minute break from the game, with checkup from medics optional.

When 2 snide teams meet each other, it's unwatchable for long periods

Quote from: gallsman on July 14, 2026, 08:23:38 PMThat'll not help Lamine's dodgy hamstring.

Live I thought surely he can't have given away a penalty and then on the replay couldn't believe how badly he just booted him!

Thought it was a ridiculous dive when viewed live. Hard not to give a pen when booted by a defender.

Rodri is a serious operator. Still think France may win though hope I am wrong.

DaleCooper · July 14, 2026, 09:19:50 PM

France out thank God. Spanish touch and control is incredible

Mourne Red · July 14, 2026, 09:20:26 PM

Didn't expect this at all from Spain, fair play. Superb team goal.

Rodri is like a man mountain and closes off all the space and channels
