Wow

They even had the Down Under Men at Work music playing after the goal.

I’m at this match, when the aussies were chanting “Aussie’ at the start the French lad next to me was shouting ‘Auxerre’.. didn’t have the heart to tell him

Early days but just waiting for the epic meltdown on here if Saudi, Tunisia and Australia all get through and it slowly dawns that one of them could be England's potential QF opponent if they get to that stage....

Deschamps picking 25 players when he's allowed 26 looks like a blinder.

Another French player out... and yet they can still bring in Theo Hernandez
The depth of their squad is insane... When you think they have Benzema, Nkunku, Kanté, Pogba, Coman out and they are still featuring a very strong starting 11...

You aren’t winning feck all with Giroud, Griezmann, Rabiot and Lloris starting in 2022. Proper average squad for this tournament (a lot of injuries I know)
Yeah France is a bit like Germany were after 2014 I think. Still lots of star names but motivation levels dropped a bit and some makeshift combinations in key positions.

Every French fan must get a mini heart attack each time one of their players gets tackled.

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.
