Shocking performance by France in the 1st 45 minutes, Deschamps needs the half time team talk of his life to turn this around.

It's as if the French have been caught by surprise at Argentina coming out and being Argentina. Wound up, intense, flair and a cutthroat ruthlessness that would see their own granny on the end of a two footed tackle.

Imagine it was England on the end of that 1st half from Argentina........fantastic 2nd goal though
The French riot when they win but if they don't turn up this half they may aswell lockdown again

Tell them you're English, and they managed to beat us. That'll cheered them up.

Already tried that. Did not lift the mood.

They are complaining bitterly at the penalty that I have not seen. Just bleddy adverts all the way through the interval :mad:

Lots of no-shows looking at the number of empty seats. Qatar trains on strike ?

Maybe the effect of the virus that has ripped its way through the French camp this week.

2-2 in the blink of an eye. It's a funny old game Saint.
