Yeah. Iran was dirty, Australia - thus far - are just physical, but not necessarily unfair.
Day 3: France v Australia, Argentina v Iceland, Peru v Denmark, Croatia v Nigeria

Don't like this commentary duo on BBC
This could very well be the first 0-0 of the World Cup. Disappointing give yesterday's results. What a dull start to today. 
Stop rubbing it in!
Mark Lawrenson is a moany cnut
No need to get overboard, it's more than an hour to play.
France need to get rid of Deschamps.
36p placed on an Aussie win, £5 return. Also bet on the draw, 10p on, 55p return. You do the maths.

I don't know about his Argentina performances but, in my opinion, Rojo has been awful for us whenever he's been played as a LB. I'd understand not wanting him there if he plays anything like he does for us in said position.
French have been awful here
France slow start once again
Didn't realise the French were a bunch of pussies.
Not as fall, honestly think the game misses this type of physical edge, controlled aggression mind, not dirty, dangerous tackles.
Even more surprising he's a CB being skinny. Still, France doesn't have anyone better?
I don't understand how people can praise Pogba. Alongside Tolisso they are the main reason behind France's problems, they are so useless in possession that you can just bypass the midfield.
He spent too long in Liverpool.
I think Fekir should be playing. France haven't got someone who can link the midfield and attack atm. Push Griezmann upfront and leave one of Mbappe and Dembele on the bench to bring on later when game is stretched. Why is Griezmann playing on the right and Dembele on the left in 4-3-3? These tactics don't make any sense.
We are too slow but that is a big credit to Australia
I've always believed that this French side could do with Nzonzi in the holding midfield role. here'd be way more balance in the midfield.
I did the maths, you're going to lose 46p
He's also a sarcastic prick who is painfully unfunny. Really ruins the game every time.
So refreshing to hear Lawrenson again, miss him for the bigger games.
It's like France have no mifield. Just get the ball to one of the attackers and hope he pulls something off on his own or try a chip behind the back line seems all they have got. No control, no circulation at all.
Nah he is just a cnut , always was a cnut and always will be a cnut.
You'd fold quickly under questioning
. Just the beginning. probably!Although I won 86p on a throw in during the first minute. Suits (pennies) in.
2nd ball change already?
Aussies ball tampering again?
Too slow indeed. No quick transitions in midfield
Pogba has been magnificent imo, relatively anyway because no one is really standing out.
For all the talent France has in their squad they aren't a particularly good team. Pogba continues to disappoint, too.
You see Kante's limitations in game like this.
And then Pogba, peripheral after a bright start.
What he's done, any half-decent midfielder would do. He's been average as usual.
I think Pogba's done well when in possession here. He's made a couple or so nice passes that the attackers could've done better with but I understand if you think that isn't enough from him considering his talent. I think you'd benefit from dropping Tolisso and playing N'Zonzi or Fekir depending on how you want to use Kanté
Yeah, best of a bad bunch so it's not saying too much.
That pitch isn't in great shape. Looks dry too.
Very Disappointing by France so far
We're with you on that mate
This game ? , what has he done , IMHO he has been bang average.
