Why is Kasper not captain?
edit: ok, he is. I thought Eriksen was captain last game when Kjaer went out.

Seizure warning needed for those lights!
There is nothing to be annoyed . He has always been a good player but comes with a luggage. He has been Juve's best player this season too. Best thing is he could play double pivot with Casemiro . So not exactly a like to like option .
He is still on his last year of contract and could still be signed for free. But I believe he will sign for Newcastle and form a great partnership with Bruno.
Yeah I've seen crap halves that are 2-2 going into the break and great halves finishing 0-0.
Think it's been an entertaining half but I'm into the tactical battle moreso than the scorelines.
Giroud’s face makes me want to learn how to box.
Denmark need to target France's left hand side. Mbappe isn't bothering to track back leaving Hernandez all alone as opposed to Dembele on the other side who has been great going both ways.
Just from watching him. How he uses his body, the awareness of space and he's actually quite good at bringing the ball out of defence. There is no way, even with poorer form that he wasn't good enough for us.
Look at Dembele, obviously a really good player if you watch him, even last season. Yet straight no from our fans
My annoyance comes from the fact that whenever we want to sign players who aren't already classed as world beaters, our fans treat it like the end of the world and use it as an excuse to insult the club, encouraging other opposition fans to do so.
Don't be jelly
Draw suits France more than Denmark imo. Denmark would be going into the Australia game needing a win to go through rather than the other way around.
No difference for Denmark with a draw or a loss, apart from confidence.
I thought there was something wrong with my tv earlier.
It's too obvious not to be purposeful. Mbappe is playing really high, even higher than Giroud. I think he's helping Giroud to cover the back 3. Rabiot is partially covering that left wing back for Denmark and Griezman is partially dropping deeper to support Tchouemeni. The 4231 from France is a bit lopsided. I'm not sure its a lack of tracking back, more of a positioning.
Is there anywhere stats on team running, not individual players? Trying to find stat about which team so far covered most ground. Googled it for a bit but can't find that particular stat yet.
That's the problem with Rabiot, he's one of Juve's best players this season but was one of the worst last season and totally average the year before. He tunes in when he feels like it and it's not always at the right time.
Cornelius, Braithwaite, Dolberg, danish options upfront arent great, good for us
Rabiot actually reminds me a lot of Timothée Chalamet. Why have I never thought of this before?
Holjberg is a really decent player isn’t very underrated
Dembele 
Happens with fans of any top team. Dembele case was different imo. I'll hold my hand up, when we were linked a couple years ago I was against it because of his injury problems. Was always an extremely talented player going back to his time at Dortmund, but he had missed so much time for Barcelona since he signed for them and would have been on massive wages. He's managed to get past those injuries somehow, not sure what exactly he did to fix that but fair play to him.
Rabiot had been decent for PSG and definitely had talent but even there he had some consistency problems. Since he went to Juventus he had been really poor when we were linked with him. Tbf he had been played in numerous different midfield positions which probably didn't help. He has been excellent this season and has brought that form into the WC, but how would the people who were sceptical of the deal have known he would suddenly become great after showing very little for so long? I wasn't completely against signing Rabiot without being too impressed either, but if I knew Casemiro was possible at the time I similarly would have been very against the deal. If ETH thinks it would be worth having Rabiot beside Casemiro we can always sign him on a free in the summer. Personally still not that fussed about signing him.
Dull game. Denmark are a bit of a defensive, toothless team who know they will probably go through if they wait to beat Australia. France are like England last night just avoiding defeat to go through before the serious business.
Tchouameni pretty anonymous tonight. A bit disapointing.
Who do France have on the bench to freshen things up?
This game has fizzled out.
This game has fizzled out.
Mbappe and Dembele against Maguire. Jeez, I don't even wanna think about the outcome.
You didn't watch the first half did you?
this is garbage
Denmark growing into this.
Not sure you know the role of a CB
Giroud get out the way man!
Giroud just getting in the way wtf
Great break by Mbappe
A bit of Mbappé's magic.
I did? Are you saying it wasn’t dull?
Griezmann has been so good.
Denmark going to get done now as they look for a goal of their own.
Between him and Dembele for player of the match for me
That first touch/turn was liquid
That's exactly what I'm saying and nobody can seriously say France didn't play to score.
Oh Griezmann! What a miss! He's been so good too
Great turn shame about the finish.
