Yeah, questionable. Evens out the other one to France i guess.

Not for Denmark it doesn't.

I want Australia to win, but why VAR hasn't been abandoned as a bad joke is beyond me.

Blame Maradona and the Hand of God. FIFA clearly don't want something like that again.

If they're going to start dishing out square ups it would be preferable that they'd be in the same game as the original call :lol:

Outperformed the Danes in the 2nd half. Enjoyable game to watch. Enough of these noble losses and solid draws.

Jeez, the Danes were done! I can only guess what could have happened if Arzani came in earlier.

Yep, a good performance. The lack of a world-class striker up front makes a big difference.

Showed a lot of promise; had his chance though and will be better for the experience.

Cahill may not fit that bill exactly but I expected him in after so many of the chances were created on the wings...
16 crosses and only two were met.

The header chance Leckie had, that was Cahill's bread and better. Shame he couldn't be put on, or that we don't have someone who can take his place yet.

Wonder who'll replace Nabbout in the next game. Juric may not be completely fit. Maybe Maclaren. Timmy for a 60 minute shift? Maybe a different formation with Arzani. Damn it we should have scored in the second half!

Heading home earlier than usual for Argentina/ Croatia. Football is messing up my flexi.

France very perfunctory. They clearly have talented players, but - by christ- they could do with showing us a bit of desire once in awhile.

Do the players actually want to play for Deschamps? Something is not right there.

There needs to be a huge improvement if they are going to fulfill their undoubted potential.

Messi or no Messi, I would be very surprised if Argentina won this tournament with their defensive line’s comedy stylings.

The argentina croatia game is pretty dull so far.
There seem to be five people marking Messi - what are the rest of his team doing?

At this rate they might struggle to get out the group

The argentine coach is going to have a heart attack.
