I wonder if people in France are complaining about moving Benzema to the left to accommodate Giroud in the team...

Do top pro footballers get brand new kit for every game?

Has Amelie Mauresmo taken a pocket radio to listen to this match while she's watching Murray on Centre COurt?

Bright start from Nigeria here.
Good start to the match in general, too. |

Yet another manager trying to shoehorn what he thinks are his best 11 players into a system as opposed to picking the best players for the system. If France get beat Nigeria, as I think they will I don't expect to see Benzema left of a front 3 in the quarters, probably against Germany.

Not for the first time I am wondering if this is the Pogba who is supposed to be a good player or a lousy impersonator?

Is it me or does the pitch seem a bit ropey?
You can see a few bare patches and the ball seems to be holding up and bobbling as it rolls along the turf. |

Goal disallowed for offside!
And he was, just. France not having things as much in their favour as some expected. |

Offside, looked a close decision.
Edit:clearly off, looked closer in real time. |

I reckon the linesman could have given the attacker the advantage there. I thought they were still supposed to?
It was very close indeed. |

Benzema's blushes spared by the flag.
