Two yellows will do. This Honduran team are dirty cheats.
France vs Honduras - BBC One 8pm KO
5 of 18
I don't like feigning of injury (cheating) but it seems like Honduras are doing a number on France here.
Would have been a joke if Pogba was sent off for that. His kick only hit fresh air, after he was stamped on!
Let's hope for the good of this World Cup that France open the scoring soon because you can't have this kind of intimidatory approach from Honduras succeeding in any way whatsoever.

It was sensible referee interpretation considering Pogba was being danced on.

He's just a persistent CHEAT , simple as . Detest the guy and hope that France bury this lot now .
That was dirty, nasty. It doesn't make for an enjoyable game. How many reds in this game are coming up I wonder?

They're definitely a dirty team. This is a continuation of what happened in the England match.

9 times out of 10, Pogba would have been sent off for that and deservedly so.

Whilst I agree with their comments I also agree with you.

Yes, and the referee had sense to see it likewise, booking both. Fair decision that used common sense instead of letter of the law.

I think it was the fairest decision, that or send both off. Send Palacios off twice though
The more experienced French players will need to keep their heads and make sure that the younger players don't react to the Honduras intimidation approach.
