LOL, will they regret that?
I think that's the 1st penalty miss (well, save) of this World Cup.

I think Benzema could have stayed on his feet but then that raises the age old argument of whether players should be expected to stay up or whether they're entitled to look for the penalty.
Why do the players waste time crowding the referee when it's not going to make the slightest difference?
Not a particularly good penalty by Benzema in truth.
If Benaglio was at fault for the second goal he's redeemed himself with that penalty save.

If the Swiss can replicate the good period they had before the penalty, then I can see them scoring. Of they go in only one down at half time then it's game on.
Now it's 3-0!
Scintillating counter-attacking football from France.
Giroud involved in both ends of that goal as it was his header which cleared the Swiss corner at the start.

Do the Swiss have any defence? They are so pushed up, they are making these breaks really easy for France.
Haha, best line of commentary of the World Cup so far....
"And now, not for the first time, there really is a mountain between France and Switzerland"

France should find it easier to find their rhythm against a side willing to play football against them rather than take chunks out of them and as such I think they'll have too much for the Swiss.”

They're certainly going that way...3 goals, great stuff to watch
