World Cup Match Thread- Round of 16 Day 3

[CosmicHotspur]

I think Deschamps should have played Griezmann not Giroud for this one.

On the bench so he could come on yet.

 

[goughie1966]

Ooohhhh..... Hugo got away with that one

 

[goughie1966]

Giroud is so crap! Doesn't look like an international player to me

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Giroud has not had a good first half. I agree he should be subbed.

 

[Spursh]

Giroud up front isn't working for the French. They look more fluid with Benzema through the middle.

A shame Ribery isn't fit, but Remy could be a good dynamic sub to bring on to play down that left hand side.

Nigeria have held their own, with Odemwingie playing particularly well.

Another half-time 0-0.

Griezmann on for Giroud should solve that problem.

Dull day no South or Central American teams. Oh well good luck to the African teams rather than the oh so dull Europeans at this WC...except maybe the African teams have been even less expansive

You think Honduras, Uruguay, Ecuador and Costa Rica have been fantastic to watch? Colombia, Mexico and Chile, yes, but even Brazil and Argentina have been disappointing so far.

 

[SpurSince57]

Yep, how did he get in on the BBC jolly to Brazil. I think the BBC have it in for Spurs fans - Keown and Savage, 2 of my most hated players and the BBC pay them to go to the greatest event in footie for a month. I'm not bitter, honest.

At least Monkeyhead talks a good deal of sense. The Welshman with the popular hairdo is less use than Lawro.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

At last, Griezmann for Giroud!

 

[goughie1966]

Kilbane has just said the Giroud has had a good game. He must be watching a different player to me...

... and me! He was utter rubbish.

 

[Mr Pink]

France have been really poor. Why they insist on playing Benzema out on the left and that donkey through the middle is beyond me.

 

[thinktank]

Typical Benzima, can be so frustrating. Must score there.

Dude they took that donkey about 5mins ago


Awesome run by Odemwingie there!

 

[SpurSince57]

Benzema wakes up, or gets woken up by Griezmann.

I know.

I'm saying I don't know why they insisted on setting up like that.

It worked against the swiss

 

[goughie1966]

Nigeria hanging on here. France looking so much better with Griezmann on

 

[SpurSince57]

About time.
