France look vulnerable

Poland with a game plan today other than to park two buses.

How on earth is Kouadé allowed to play wearing a necklace?!

It's taken until the 42nd minute for the officials to notice.

He won't see that again

3 Goals in this WC for Giroud.
3  Goals more than 2018 WC.

Nice scuff from Giroud. Spawniest team in world football the French.

ForeverAddickted

Jammy gits from France for their defending from that corner

superclive98

Lucky Lloris.

Doesn't feel as though France will keep a clean sheet - Just hope Poland will get an equaliser rather than a consolation 

Lincsaddick

Poland much better than expected .. they're still in this .. I hope

Corey Blackett-Taylor and Karlan Grant are similar type players to Mbappe ?

They have pace 

But is it genuine pace, commentators keep saying that's what scares defenders.

View at kick-off. Empty seats all over the stadium. 

Didn’t realise you had a change of heart and flew out there mate. How are you liking it?

Fact; France's longest border is with Brazil.
It's an omen for the final line up.

Was it an omen last time?

No, because I didn't know that fact then!

As was highlighted at the beginning, Mbappe can go from 0 to 60 (car analogy) in the blink of an eye. CBT may not always take the ball with him!

No chance that’s a free kick let alone a card.

superclive98

Sloppy Polish passing trying to give France a second goal. 

golfaddick

So why did Poland get the ball then...? It wasn't a foul & I understand the ref should stop the game if there is a chance of a head injury......but then it's a drop ball surely.

For those saying France don't look that good, it's worth noting they're without Benzema, Kante, Pogba and Nkunku. Their strength in depth is ridiculous.

I don't imagine England would cope that well if you took Kane, Rice, Bellingham and Foden out of the side.

Callumcafc

Love seeing Matty Cash win the ball off Mbappe like that

Cheeky little bum caress on his team mate from Bielik 

Exiled_Addick

There’s an opportunity for Poland here. You sense if they can create that one chance for Lewandowski then an upset might be achievable. France not looking entirely convincing so far. 

I have to say though, Lewandowski is always a bit of a disappointment when I see him play for Poland. 

Nice to see Bielik on - one of my favourite loan signings for Charlton. 

Chunes

Talk about getting drawn to the ball

Exiled_Addick

Well… fuck it. I jinxed that. 

SELR_addicks

Pocket status anyone? 

DaveMehmet

That’s a beautiful goal from France, what a touch from Giroud.

Exiled_Addick

You have to say. That was poor defending from Poland. Four players all drawn to ball and no urgency from the rest of the team to get back.

IF we get through Walker isn't moving off Mbappe for 90 minutes.
