Another striker on for France, shame the midfield either bypass them with an awful shot/cross or they can only find the useless Giroud.

I think so. Very much a case of Europe Strikes Back! after the departures of Spain, Italy and urm, England.

Come on Ecuador, I'm falling asleep here!

They can run but they can't shoot

What an awful swipe of a finish from Arroyo.

And he's taken off to compound his embarrassment.

I'd put money on at least 4 more being eliminated!

Oh come on! At least try and test the keeper and not the poor sap in the crowd whose hot-dog you've just blasted out of their hands. Probably.

Almost by Ecuador, they've looked by far the better team this half.

Greece and Ivory Coast spoiled us last night compared to this.

Hopefully this dire finishing will drain the French confidence and they go out next round.

Keeper keeping them in this. The attackers need to do their part.

Two last minute goals by Ecuador coming up

A leaping foul it certainly was.

2 red cards for violent conduct in 3 weeks, questions will be asked to be fair to him I don't think it was for the initial contact, but the way he appeared to rake the players shin as his foot slid down the players leg and whether he could have avoided that.

Not even this World Cup can be that insane.......can it?

That keeper has single-handed kept this going as a contest.

Oh FFS.

Great goal keeping from Ecuador

I think they all the refs are meant to speak english

Not for another couple weeks though!

The man of the match

Terrible terrible play, the French have reverted to type here

Ecuador keeper down now...and is back

Pogba and Giroud have both thrown elbows in this match

I'd agree Dix. His cramp has gone now

Why add on 4 mins,put people out of their misery.
