What is on that defenders hand

Benzema never strikes me as a top class player

Matuidi really should have got that back to Benzema

Palacios deserves to get sent off more than Pogba

France look very good

Debuchy always good for an unnecessary slide tackle

"they're all comfortable in possession aswell" its France Martin, I'd expect them to be comfortable in possession

No point, he doesn't have iron Mike to aim at

Hoof by Debuchy

Cabs controlling the game

And you thought the crowd hated England

Great tackle by Behrami

Seems to have regressed since going to Bayern

That's good for Brazil

Pirlo isn't the only class midfielder around who strolls around the football pitch without seemingly breaking his stride to be fair. Xavi has been doing the same thing, winning CLs and WCs without seemingly breaking a sweat although he does seem on his way down now tbh. I'm surprised Xavi has waned so much given the way he plays. I thought he'd easily be able to play till late 30s

Poor Japan

Surely Kolo Toure should be playing

there's just something about this comment I love

Everything about this world cup is so much better than the last one

Yaya anonymous

Finish. Get in Japan

Typical Cheick

I like Kagawa but he's been utter shit the first ten minutes here

ISMAEL Tiote?

He was absolutely shite man You're talking shite. I'm not. What did Gerrard do to positively affect England's game? What did he do negatively to affect England's game? He was sat deep and attempted to distribute the ball, like he was asked. I'm not really sure what he did to be considered shite tbh. He isn't Pirlo, I think we established that 2 years ago. He barely touched the ball in a meaningful way. Do you not think that negatively affects the team? For a defensive midfielder he didn't win any ball, he let Marchisio in behind him loads of times He's not a "defensive midfielder" though, I don't think he can ever be expected to sht down his man. He was involved though and he rarely if ever wasted the ball. I think we need to look at the midfield as a whole but I'm not having it that Gerrard was individually shit like, he wasn't. Ok we'll agree to disagree
