Nigeria again offside, good play leading up to it though.

Victor Moses has the turning circle of a freight tanker.
Giroud too.
Evra isn't up to it at this level any more. Would have liked to see Griezmann and Digne on the left and Benzema central.
But Deschamps messed with France's momentum in the Ecuador game and they're a shadow of what they were against the Swiss.

That's a nasty one from Matuidi - studs right on the ankle.

Could've been a red card for that.

Please take Giroud off. Reminding me of just what we can expect for another long season at Arsenal
Griezmann on l.h.s and Benzema central. Amazed that Deschamps didn't do that at HT.
Giroud is just dreadful.
Okay, I'll have a word with Didier, but we are not what we once were; in fact, I don't think we ever were.

Great attempt by the Nigerian defence to concede a goal then; France did well to avoid creating a clear chance.

Not sure it's wise for the French to give Emenike all these sighters from just outside the area.

The match is in something of a meandering phase at the moment.

The worst managerial decisions for putting players out of position have been Rooney wide left v Italy, Kuyt left wing back v Mexico and Benzema wide left today.

Enyeama really lucky there, he completely flapped at that cross whilst under no pressure and nearly set Pogba up.

Nigeria's corners really have been awful.

Cleared off the line!

Fantastic play by Benzema and a great save from Enyeama.

Not even close to crossing the line according to the technology.

Brilliant play, makes a difference playing him as the main striker.
