Group D - France, Denmark, Tunisia, Australia

no-one cares about this world cup anyway right?

do...do we even have 1 player in a top league team (and playing?)

Don’t think so

Wasn’t a fluke to qualify as we actually played pretty well against Peru but probably weakest group on paper for 25-30 years

 

[ripper868]

is that post regulation size or what????

 

[Burgey]

Started pushing forward again in the last few minutes of the half.

It’s tough but if Aus just sits back like we did for about 15 minutes after France’s first goal, they’ll put another three past us at least. Also, we aren’t Brazil 82 so maybe let’s not dick around in our own box

Yep

 

[ripper868]

Think we'd really benefit with Alfie Langer running just behind the line of attack giving instructions - origin style - bright green 'trainer' shirt and all.

 

[ripper868]

that overhead deserved a goal

Come on Cumdog.

Shrewsbury legend for that night v Liverpool

 

[ripper868]

that post has moved since the first half

 

[ripper868]

this 5-4 loss is really going to hurt France

 

[Burgey]

This will royally shaft any chance of getting out of the group. Shades of 2010

 

[ripper868]

Ryan just made the save that gives us the goal difference to go through

We’ve got Denmark & Tunisia right where we want them

It's going to be embarrassing for Tunisia and Denmark when we beat them both 5-0.

I'm sick of this kind of pessimism tbh. sort it out. 6 goal minimum.

Shame there wasn't a freakish rainstorm in the Qatari desert at about the 20 minute mark, so the Aussies could've won on Duckworth Lewis.

I think we hit more fours. Would have been handy in a count back

 

[Tangles]

The Aussies started well but were never going to be able to hold that goal. That’s one of the worst Aussie sides I have ever seen. A complete lack of speed allowed France to torch them. If the other 2 sides have less speed then they might be ok to grab a couple of draws.

 

[Tangles]

France looked pretty dodgy at the back. Other top teams will enjoy attacking them.

Hernandez did his ACL then. Poor sod.
