Very solid officiating performance from the African chap. I’m pleasantly surprised.

Yeah they’re very organised, as I said but also very boring

You’re absolutely obsessed you weirdo

Keeper should be positioned better for the goal

Excellent performance, roasted Larsen.

If Peru keep their heads the’ll pick up 6 points.

I’m not the fanboy here. You’re bringing yourself to new levels of delusion to defend Mythi.

He can’t help himself, he’s bought into the myth of Mythie.

You’re the one bringing up Messi in a discussion nothing to do with him. He missed a penalty, was a constant threat and very close to scoring a few times. The last time Messi scored 4 goals in the group stages and you said the group stage didn’t matter, and now he doesn’t score in a group game and you are criticising him for his performance, which is it?

I can’t see Peru getting anything off France. They’re a nice team but there’s a naivety and a brittleness to them. Their best chance is if Denmark lose to both Australia and France and to get a three way tie and go through on goal difference by thumping Australia.

He’s just shit in major international tournaments mate, a bottler.

Some analysis there from Dunphy.

Teams like Ireland and Denmark are a scar on football. Reading numerous people say Ireland should play like Iceland. My god,all they did today was boot the ball away. Woeful.

That was the chatter at the last euros too…

We do play like Iceland, absolute rubbish.

The neediness is comical.

Knowledgeable football people know who the best player in the world is, and it’s not even close.

Also, I’d have thought being able to beat a man is a prerequisite for any player aspiring to be considered as the best in the world.

Ronaldo fails that test, and thus straight away falls out of the conversation.

Ireland have played reasonably attractive football under Michael O’Neill. Eire are just dreadful to look at though.

European teams my arse, all the football so far is being played by American teams. We haven’t even seen Brazil yet, my tip for the cup. Mexico to tie ze Germans tomorrow. The Germans have nothing up front.

That Griezmann penalty earlier is as good as you’ll ever see

Ronaldo’s was better, although you can’t admit it.
