Good result. Will make France - Portugal game actually worth it. France are now under pressure to finish top of the group.

Extraordinary what defenders get away with. Actually there’s a check so you never know.

France :lol:
Not easy being favourites, much harder when you play a negative style though.

I am happy if VAR is not used to give painfully soft pens that have fans thinking everything is a pen.

Couldn’t see this coming. So now this group looks very tight.

That should have been a penalty.

Defender drags onto the attacker fouling him in the process, feigns injury, wastes time and essentially gets rewarded.

Ridiculous decision in the context

Well, yes, on that I agree. Although, unfortunately for him, both for club and country what maximises his talents isn't beneficial enough to the group as a whole to be prioritized.
Exactly. Team before player. It takes a lot more to build a team around him to maximize his talent.

What a result for Hungary! Such a gutsy performance.

France only have themselves to blame. Created so many chances but never took them.

I'd have given a penalty. The guy time wasting and feigning injury is all on him pulling back Kimpembe. He was hugging him, fell down, and got a boot to the face.
