Nonsense. There's only one Hernandez out there. Clear what you were insinuating.

Mbappe - get up ta fúck - perfect tackle.

irishguitarlad

That was an amazing tackle.

McDermotX

What a challenge !!!

Some tournament Amrabat has had

Mr.Nice Guy

Ref needs to give better protection to Mbappe. Contrast the treatment he's getting to the way these refs look after Messi.

ShamoBuc

Konate is having a fine game, France under real pressure.

breezy1985

France doing an England 2020. Need to start getting on the ball and get a 2nd

Headshot

This French team is really poor

Xander10

Why do we see shots of the same few fans from each country every game,? eg the toothless Moroccan man.

Damien360

Morocco far from out of this game. Should be 1-1 only for amazing Konate defending.

Mr.Nice Guy

More fouls allowed on Mbappe. Ref is shocking.

I'm shocked there's been no French subs

Drumpot

Morocco are great, this feels like they are gonna come up short though.

Mbappe's boot had to be subbed there.

TheRiverman

France are very ragged right now.

French sitting so deep, just asking for trouble

Morocco are really dominating them

ShamoBuc

If ever a team deserved to score a goal, it's Morocco.

How good a player would Mbappe be without his pace do you think?

I don't know enough about him to offer an opinion, just curious.

Hakimi lucky enough not to get a yellow there.

Tandey

How's that not a yellow?

Mr.Nice Guy

No yellow for that. It's laughable now.

Every game they seem to do exactly enough. Whenever they need to lift a level to score they do, but when they don't need to, they seem very content to just relax a bit and sit. They always feel like they have an extra gear in the bag, but only use it when they have to.

TheCitizen

Refs have obviously been under orders to “let things go”. Could get nasty if the ref allows Morocco to continuously foul with no cards being shown

~Rebel~

Bloody hell, how'd he not get a shot off there?

Mr.Nice Guy

Griezmann so good again.

Mr.Nice Guy

KOLO MUANI!

Delighted for him. Lovely play by Mbappe.

He has been fantastic today and in the England game. For all the talk about Mbappe, he is not a patch on the work rate of Griezmann. Willing to defend and attack.

If France win this, I can’t see them stopping Argentina.

Spoke too soon, Mbappe made that goal.

ShamoBuc

Poxy goal. but they all count.

McDermotX

Another flukey deflection

Still, get in the box, and stuff can happen

~Rebel~

Fair play, lovely for the fella. Semi final goal with his first touch on the pitch!
