Yeah, I didn’t realise they’d gone 442 until a minute ago - such a waste. Matuidi can’t be playing left mid, surely?

He is, you know. It's bizarre.

Nice dive Mbappe

France look half asleep

Well done Hugo. Could've easily gone through his legs.

He is, booked already too.

The crowd looks and sounds 85% Peruvian.

Apparently 40 000 Peruvians have made the trip to Russia. Incredible.

I was in Cusco and the mountains there last year and really enjoyed it so I have a soft spot for them. Hope they can keep this up.

Barely any French fans there at all. Great support by the Peruvians.

This is a fun game tbf. I do love Peru for some reason. Must be the kit.

Edit - ffs, Spurrific kiss of death

A team like this should not be sitting in a 4-4-2 shape when defending, they have natural pressers and physical players to win the ball back, this is just unnecessarily negative from Deschamps.

It’s pretty much the managerial ineptitude trifecta, stupid selections, stupid shape and poor application.

 

[tiger666]

Boooooooooooo

 

[Marty]

Ah, nuts.

If I could double rate this it would be both funny and winner.

Well played Pogba.

 

[SlotBadger]

Wouldn't be happy if I were Giroud there, having my "goal" nicked on the line.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Some lovely passing there. Allez les bleus!

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Nice bit of football

 

[tiger666]

That was poor from Hernandez

Kante having a stormer
