FT: URUGUAY 0 - 2 FRANCE. Match thread

[thehumblegringo]

Did Gary Neville say the expects goalkeepers to save every shot on goal? France are a little lucky to be ahead, but to listen to the commentary right from the start, you'd have thought Uruguay were four up.

Neville has begun to believe the hype about himself. How was he supposed to catch that, it was moving everywhere. I think he still playing with Mitre Multiplex footballs

Did anyone see the melee when the french guy went down, I don't think he was touched to be honest, uraguy players going banannas at him Suarez trying to get at him , then Suarez spits at one of the French players, or was I seeing things

Mbappe went down like he'd been stabbed or shot.
All i saw was the Uruguay player near him holding his arm out, and when Mbappe went past, pulled his arm away.
Maybe he scratched his belly? didn't look like anything serious.
And there were all sorts of niggly fouls in the ensuing melee.
VAR should have picked up something, but it wasn't used.
