France are nothing for us to worry about for Euro 2020 / Qatar at this rate.
They look shit
Have you got a lot of money riding on Croatia or something?
They won their group, were superb against Argentina, beat a rock solid Uruguay quite comfortably and then beat Belgium who beat us fairly easily.
How exactly are they 'nothing for us to worry about'?
I just don’t want this World Cup being settled by two terrible decisions.
As the BBC pundits have said France have offered nothing. We can’t have the biggest game in sport being won by a team that look like they don’t belong there.
They need to turn it on to win the respect of the football world second half.
Fact is - they have looked useless in this game yet are somehow winning it.
But to say they don't look up to much is bullshit, we played 7 games in this World Cup, 3 wins 1 draw 3 losses, France are currently 5 wins 1 draw 0 losses, having played tougher opponents, and are currently on course to lift the trophy, regardless of how they're performing.
Ref wasn’t sure shouldn’t be given, he even went back for another look so obviously wasn’t 100%.
Haha think that's clutching at straws a bit. We all have no idea how sure or unsure he was.
I’m shocked anyone thinks that’s a penalty. Not sure what Itv are saying but 4 pundits on bbc are pretty clear. There’ll be 5 penalties in every game soon.

In this game they don’t look up to much.
Forget the previous matches - I want the best team in this World Cup Final to lift the trophy.

I think it's a 50/50 call. Not enough to overturn whatever the on field ref's original decision was.
But why is it his arm out at a right angle like that? Should all players start jumping with their arms out and then claim it wasn't deliberate when the ball strikes their arms?

So VAR rather than avert controversy ends up creating it.

Try jumping with your arms by your side then and realise how stupid you look. All players have their arms up when they jump

You mean out away from the body the same as the French bloke's? Sounds like you've never jumped before.

His arm was by his side when the ball struck his hand. There was no reason for his forearm to be extended like that.
There was a penalty earlier in the tournament I cant remember the game there have been so many. When the ball came in a defender jumped the ball went over his head, hit another player then hit the defenders arm and a penalty was given.
Frances penalty today was more of a penalty than that one as that one the defender had his back to the ball and had no idea where the ball was.

He moved his oddly lowered hand DIRECTLY into the trajectory of the ball!

Was that the penalty Iran won against Portugal?
If so it was a definite pen as was against Portugal!!
Btw, on the Mbappe run, on the rebound of his shot, if Greizman had not slipped on the wet grass, he had an open goal to shoot at. That would have been 3-1 and match over.

That first one wasn't a penalty, ridiculous decision. This was slightly less of a ridiculous decision but that doesn't make it the right decision.
