WC 2014 2nd round France v Nigeria

[tulip]

Nigeria having the best chances so far. Good goal ruled out incorrectly for off side.

Go Super Eagles!

I think the replay showed he was offside.

Lively game tho!

[Ouroboros]

Looked off to me also.

Lovely open game so far. That Pogba effort would have made for a special goal.

[Bandini]

Nice game.

[Ginger Ninjas]

Quality of Nigeria's corners has been appalling

Decent ref this guy, not blowing his whistle every time someone falls over or tries to buy a free kick.

Entertainingly shambolic from both sides tbf.

Is there a history of dwarfism in Valbuena's family?

I can see why it was given as offside. It was one of those where the Nigeria player was leaning forward and the last defender was leaning the other way. Incorrect? It was very tight so you can argue either way really.

He's trying to perfect the Robben splay dive.

First mistake he's made. Goal. Poor sod.

[tulip]

Game over now then after that 2nd went in. So far the teams topping the groups have all gone through.

[Royalclapper]

France look much better without Giroud, he's a good sub to have or useful from set pieces/crosses, apart from that they seem far less dangerous when he's playing.
