Re: France v Republic of IrelandWhoever plays France next round won't have Rami or Kante to contend with.
This makes room for Mangala and Cabaye to deputise.
Re: France v Republic of Ireland
Everyone else on the planet does it......we may as well join them!
Re: France v Republic of Ireland

Re: France v Republic of IrelandPayet's not been great to be honest. His poorest 45 in the tournament. Wonder if Real Madrid are watching
Re: France v Republic of IrelandDespicable cheating bunch, this Irish side.
Re: France v Republic of IrelandPeople don't half talk some ****, Ireland have been very good, closing the French down in midfield, getting men forward when they can, there was one bad foul by Coleman and he fell over when he knew he wasn't getting the ball that he knocked past Evra, other than that the cynical fouls have come from the French. The ref has done a good job.
Re: France v Republic of IrelandIrish are comfortable.
Re: France v Republic of Ireland
Dive from Long for the penalty
Re: France v Republic of Ireland
I'm talking about half the team rolling about on the floor for half the bloody game. And Shane Long looked like he did a bit of a Vardy move for the penalty. France look rubbish in the main, especially at the back.
Re: France v Republic of IrelandNo it was not a dive, a dive is what Vardy does, sticks his leg out and is already going down, Long put his right root out and Pogba took him down, look at where Pogba ended up, he was nearly over long's head by the time his momentum stopped. He tried winning a ball he could win
Re: France v Republic of IrelandThe only injury was Hendrick, Pogba kicked him in the thigh, a dead leg can take a few minutes to recover from
Re: France v Republic of IrelandLong didn't dive. That was a blatant pen. Pogba just charged through him.
Re: France v Republic of Ireland
Agreed, was completely different to the stunts Vardy pulls. The Irish have done well, they have a plan (I think they would have been the same even at 0-0). The French have been poor, Giroud is as mobile as a tombstone
Re: France v Republic of IrelandFrance simply can't be that bad again.
Re: France v Republic of IrelandFrance looking a little more comfortable this half. Gotta keep up the pressure. COYBIG
Re: France v Republic of IrelandPayet starting to purr!
Re: France v Republic of IrelandOne all...lovely goal.
Would love to see Ireland win, but I think that tired legs will kick in.
Re: France v Republic of Ireland
Re: France v Republic of Ireland2-1. Balls.
