Problem with that deep shade, it's dark, and when players get into it, they can hardly be seen.

No red button with 5Live commentary on Freeview. After listening to Pearce and Lawrenson for 45 minutes I am now clinically depressed.

This is a poor game, very slow pace but understandable given the heat

I don't think either the BBC or Sky publicised the red button channels 981-986 very well. Only reason I found out was read about them in the Sky forum here.

I wouldn't say it's a poor game. Not the best of the tournament by any means but it's not poor. Plus it's worth remembering that games of late have only really been catching fire in the second half.

Disappointing so far....

It's like going somewhere, and the road's up. Wish they'd get on with it

More promising from France, some decent possession; need to make the most of it.

Much better tempo to the match, now.

Humidity was 80%+ at start of the match; don't know what it is now, but unreasonable to expect the players to be running flat out for 90 minutes.

Tell us something we don't know, Germany's tournament record (in both the World Cup and European Championships) is pretty darn impressive. They put England to shame.

But this is the 2nd half, and I reckon they're waiting until the last few minutes to score. Game might not be poor, but it lacks excitement!

They certainly do.

Poor game and to top it off we have to listen to smartarse comments from Lawrenson, and Jonathon Pierce and his over excitable nonsense

Ref giving Germany the more favourable decisions.

Its not been the game I'd hoped for, so far. The French need to step it up and have a real go.

Neutral fans at the game don't sound too happy with the entertainment provided so far.

This is far too easy for Germany. Time nearing for France to start showing how much they want to stay in this tournament.

BBC need to have a shake up of its commentators for next season. Lawrenson needs to be sacked, i don't know anyone who likes him or his commentary

Boring.

The Algerians had more spirit than this.....

By the looks of it, they don't care.

Flat scrappy game

With the qf's being over a weekend FIFA could've had the ko times at 7pm and 10pm BST would've been 3pm and 6pm in Brazil and therefore not in the midday sun.
