For a world class player, Pogba really doesn't have much awareness of what's around him. Gets caught on the ball so often.

World class? Pogba? Top trolling.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

WTF? This is the sort of mess I'd expect from ITV not BBC.

 

[mmj_uk]

BBC were just about to start rubbishing VAR and had their signal cut.

The defenders leg catches Griezmann's trailing leg and stops him from continuing his stride. Penalty for me and the correct decision.

Neville is being an absolute **** here, no wonder the BBC keep cutting him off.

 

[Kerplunk]

Has someone just pulled the plug on Phil Neville? lol

 

[omnomnom]

Decision was correct...not entirely sure what Nevilles talking about.

The woman who ever she is said her opinion was a penalty, as the frenchman was fouled/brought down. After seeing the replays, no penalty, the Aussies leg didn't change momentum/direction etc to trip the guy up, it was just following the path it would have naturally have taken. So ergo no foul.

bah whatever. I'm rambling on.

That would only hold if he'd got the ball, and then the player on the follow through. He doesn't get the ball.

I think the defender did enough to take the ball away from Griezman and the keeper probably had it covered. I'm all for giving fouls if the ball hardly moves but in this case Griezman had already lost control before there was any contact as a result of the defenders touch.

Thought he lifted it up myself to bring him down. I dont think he gets enough on it tbh. Foul for me.

He did get the ball though. its a small touch but still touched it.

 

[Jokester]

Aye, just seen it again, I think the reason for the foul being given is the attacker taking another touch after the tackle and then being brought down.

 

[Mr Jack]

Maybe. I didn't see one. Must have been feather-light if he did!

 

[Mr Jack]

This is already shaping up to be a good match!

 

[Converge]

Peru are pretty energetic! Wish United had this much energy.

Apparently no one in the team is over 6ft!

 

[The_One]

peru got the best world cup kit

God the BBC Sport feed is 100 times better quality than the ITV equivalent (via web browser).
