FIFA World Cup group stages

France lead 2-0 in 20 seconds!

Id pull the Swiss keeper off....two quick goals and extremely poor keeping in both. How can a keeper be beaten by a tame shot at his near post

Sommer should start in goal anyway.

Then the keeper saves Benzema's pretty poor penalty...and Cabaye misses a sitter on the rebound

[mikesiva]

As Clarke Carlisle said, interesting tactics by the French....

As soon as the corner is taken, Giroud and Valbueno turn and start sprinting, hoping that their keeper will take the ball, and send it downfield....3-0!

or nearly beaten twice

Benzema makes it 4-0....

This is a rout!

Sissoko makes it five....

[SaintPowelly]

The way I look at it, we stayed in the tournament for longer than the reigning world and European champions

that has to make us better than the highest ranked team in the world

that must be what Roy meant about 'world beaters' before the tourno started

Interesting, and no one wants to blame Hodgsen.

At the start of the game yesterday Roy was biting his finger nails. I thought to my self, wow if I were a player or a fan and saw that I would be concerned.

Wonder what excuses Sussex has for that.

Reliable source... a bloke on Twitter quoting something an ITV pundit said.

If you must know, before the game Frank Lampard said that Hodgson had asked him and Gerrard to speak to the team about the importance of turning good play into results, and remind them that the press forgot about about how well you play if you lose.

Much ado about nothing..

So wait just a second, are you saying that you're a reliable source?

Hodgsen had his fingers in his mouth and to me it looked like he was biting his nails. Either way he looked nervous and by no means a leader of a world cup team.

I think the "beaters" bit happens in the dressing room.
