Heard a lot of praise for Ralf's Austria and his crazy press but France breaking through quite easily here

Quality gap is too big between the two teams.

"take the handbreak off" is the worst phrase in football today. 

makes me cringe whenever I hear someone say it.

English people making break-brake mistake is also cringe, tbh.

Touché

 

[Pukey]

Feels like a matter of time for France

[georginho_juventusygr]

Waste of a free kick.

[Haguey]

Very much Leeds United's Wober so far

Austria beat Germany 2-0 last November with a similar gap in quality.

[craigcwwe]

French kit is rather nice.

Germany is in transition while France is maybe the best national team in football. There is still some difference between those two.

Not sure if he used that phrase exactly but Rio said similar about England last night and I thought 'shame you didn't realise this was the answer in 2002, 2006 and 2008'

[ThanatosAFC]

Hernandez has tunnel vision everytime he starts to run with the ball. 

[Smallen]

have never watched Dembélé and been close to being convinced.

[skybluedave]

Lot of fouls from Austria here

[The Amazing Dale Watkins]

Austria appears to have settled in. 

[Lucas]

Austria doing alright for me, giving it a go trying to break if no real chances yet. 

If they can frustrate France more should hopefully get more open for them. 

[Lucas]

Holds his face when going down from a shoulder charge  

Send these players off for simulation.

[Smallen]

Austria packing 8 players into the middle of the field, leaving only their full backs wide. France need to overload wide areas and they will find openings, especially on the counter. 

edit: srsly, Theo is free every time he runs forward on the break. France just need to find him.

Thuram 

[Darius1998]

There's no need to play Upamecano considering France's depth in that position.

[EnterUsernameHere]

Pretty drab start.

[RTHerringbone]

Austria are exciting on the counter.

[EnterUsernameHere]

Ooooh that's close.

[ThanatosAFC]

Won't get two chances like this, what a wasted opportunity. 

[Smallen]

amazing goalkeeping tbh

[Astafjevs]

Maignan 

[GunmaN1905]

Was that Upamecano flying out?

Maignan with no experience saving them.

[craigcwwe]

Brilliant lay off from Sabitzer. 

[The Amazing Dale Watkins]

lol, why wasn't that a corner?

[TalkSport]

How has referee gave goal kick there  **** me. So blind.

[Lucas]

Heart in mouth moment. Wow. 

[Haguey]

What a save, but he should have buried that. French defence all over the place, Rob vindicated imo

[Darren Moores Mum]

How the hell has that been given as a goal kick?

[Andrew_]

Looking right at it. Goal kick

[av3ry]

Ref has his eyes closed. That was a corner.

Just call him **** man, don't give me PTSD ffs.

Amazing chance, not sure they'll get one that good again.

[Smallen]

it’s mad that refs can get stuff like that wrong isn’t it

[Redshift]

Ooof

[Lucas]

Thuram such a filthy player. Elbowing them in the face now. 

[GunmaN1905]

Had their chance.

[TalkSport]

Leeds Wober so ****.

[CFuller]

Austria don't deserve that. 

[av3ry]

You complete Wober. 

[EnterUsernameHere]

Dear oh dear.

[Smallen]

‘member when FM had Wober becoming one of the best defenders itw?  

[Haguey]

Wober

[hilly_boro]

self destruction 

[RTHerringbone]

That's a shame 

[Lucas]

Great header. Damn.

Good header though to be fair.

[TalkSport]

France such a lucky team.
