    The 2 European teams in group face each other in the early group E game.

    French team has been announced

    Lloris (C) - Debuchy, Varane, Sakho, Evra - Sissoko, Cabaye, Matuidi - Valbuena, Giroud, Benzema.

    2 changes with Sissoko replacing Pogba and Giroud in for Griezmann

    Swiss team
    Benaglio, Lichtsteiner, Von Bergen, Inler (c), Seferovic, Xhaka, Behrami, Rodriguez, Mehmedi, Djourou, Shaqiri.

    If Switzerland play like they did against Ecuador the French should walk it. Hopefully they'll step up their game and give us a contest!

    No Pogba? It would make sense to play him and let him get a yellow if they seal the game up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,115 ✭✭✭Boom__Boom


    Harsh on Griezmann - thought he did well the last day.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 9,035 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    Might finally get to hear one of my favourite national anthems.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,633 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    I can never get excited about watching Switzerland play no matter how I try or who they play.

    Agree with Didi with regards Giroud and Benzema, can't see it working.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 226 ✭✭fearrua


    Feckin' love the French anthem, always makes me think of that scene in Casablanca


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    Here's the Marseillaise for the first time this World Cup


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,633 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    They should have played that anthem twice to make up for the last game.

    Evra too slow crossing his arms

    Fancy Switzerland here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 226 ✭✭fearrua


    I predict 90 minutes of me not being sure if the commentator said Giroud or Djourou...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,066 ✭✭✭Washington Irving


    Nasty donkey kick in the face for Von Bergen

    Senderos and Djourou... prepare for LOL's

    Horrible injury for Von Bergen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Nasty Injury!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 369 ✭✭microsim


    Appears the ref forgot his cards. Two nasty french tackles there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,115 ✭✭✭Boom__Boom


    I think Peter doesnt know any of the Swiss players names.

    It's his style. He lets a lot of stuff go.
    He gave 1 card in the Italy-England game at it was in stoppage time at the end of the game to Sterling for fcuk all.

    He got the Champions League final by being lenient and if he doesn't make a massive balls up he'll get the World Cup final as well.

    1-0 France!

    1-0 Giroud


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,704 ✭✭✭LightningBlue


    Great header by Giroud.
    Swiss haven't learned from the Ecuador game, still shíte at defending set-pieces.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,033 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    Lovely header


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,382 ✭✭✭✭greendom

    Matuidi! 2-0 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,115 ✭✭✭Boom__Boom


    BOOM

    and

    BOOM


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,657 ✭✭✭CountyHurler


    I'm not happy with the decline in standards. Should be an automatic yellow card for high-fiving your manager.

    Peter Collins channeling Kermit D Frog..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,633 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    2 great goals by France.

    Change the keeper. He's been terrible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 149 ✭✭Biddy_61


    Bad goalkeeping.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Goalkeeper at fault for both goals!

    Hitzfeld does not look happy.

    Goalie's messed up Swiss chances within 2 minutes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭Son Of A Vidic


    The Swiss caught with their trousers down. Shocking goalkeeping for both goals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,463 ✭✭✭Kiwi_knock


    Poor goalkeeping for both goals


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,704 ✭✭✭LightningBlue


    Don't know why Sommer isn't first choice keeper.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 712 ✭✭✭gazzamc


    I sense a lot of goals to come :D

    "OH, France are winning."

    *Looks away*

    *Looks back*

    "Wow, this celebration is lasting for a while.....OOOOOH!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,633 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    Switzerland really living up to their farcical top seeding and world ranking.

    What's the rule regarding saluting?
