Very professional performance from France to get through that despite the kicking.

I've got Benzema/3-0 for this, so expect a Honduras win.

Goal-line technology not only shows whether a goal has been scored, but also shows how clueless BBC football commentators are about how the technology works.
The system working as it's supposed to is apparently "controversial" now. Of all the games I've seen in the WC so far this is the first where GLT has been used to confirm a goal and how did FIFA's presentation do it? By saying "No Goal" then many seconds later saying "Goal". Next time (like in cricket) the crowd and commentators will be more patient for the whole situation to play out, I think they can be excused for the confusion the first time it was used. |

Not often I say this but I'm glad the French won.

Robbie Savage the voice of reason. Mark this day in your calendars.

I hope Lineker is just on the wind up here.

I like the fact that for so long so many in the English media have been calling for goal line technology, and now it's being used some of those people are now saying they don't believe it.

If they go back to the studio and give that second goal more than a dismissive glance I'm cancelling my licence fee. YOU HEAR ME YENTOB?

Robbie Savage saying how shocking Honduras were really puts it in perspective.

I don't think anyone will be shedding any tears at the imminent exit of Honduras. They've made few friends in the warm up game v England or tonight v France.

Some of the challenges made by the Hondurans reminded me of Cameroon v Argentina back in Italia '90. No interest in going for the ball, just taking out the man.

How come none of the "experts" have picked up how terrible the referee was tonight? He had a nightmare to end up with that booking count |

Honduras is one of the most violent nations on earth.

Agreed, but the initial verdict from GLT shouldn't have shown, hence the confusion.

Absolutely, it's bewildering that the obvious 'NO GOAL' part was displayed at all.

Nobody thought the ball had crossed the line at that point, so it wasn't necessary. If it's an automated part of how the software works than fine, but it certainly wasn't needed, it gave roughly the same revelation as when they used it show one of Brazil's goals that hit the back of the net had gone in.
