Surprised Greizman got dropped, thought he was good against Honduras.

Too bad...Griezmann and Pogba were the only two for France that I really wanted to see since I didn't get a chance to watch their first game...now the two most exciting players are out of the starting eleven.
Shaqiri is so bulky. Surprised it doesn't affect his pace
Didn't know Schneiderlin was in the France team.
He replaced Ribery after his injury. Wasn't in the squad originally.
Good luck Evra, one of my favourite United players ever!
I always thought Kolscieny was 1st choice for France
Bit strange that Sissoko stars over Pogba.
I'm a fan of Valbuena, I just think leaving practically all of the creative work to Valbuena is stupid. Marseille did it for a while so he's used to the role but at this level it's asking a lot.
Sissoko is so lame i can't believe that he plays.
Hopefully Bjorn Kuipers will have a good game... is he the best ref in the world right now?
We have shit referees in the Netherland but he is actually quite good.

"These encounters aren't usually laden with goals... the last three games were draws with 3 goals scored between them."
Even *I* know enough about math to see there's something wrong with that statement, ITV commentary man.

Giroud is a donkey
I think he was until he conceded a penalty and later a red card in the first round of the qualifier against the Ukraine (France lost 0-2 and later won the second leg 3-0 IIRC).
Kicked him in the face. Well done Giroud you idiot.
And didn't Sakho score in that 3-0 game as well?
Vidic would have stayed on
Twice, actually.
Vidic would have broken Giroud his foot with his head.
That's nasty injury. I hope nothing is wrong with his eye.
Senderson on, and that's Switzerland off.
Senderson on, and that's Switzerland off.
Damn that looked nasty.
Senderos? Is Schar that bad?
shame on Giroud
Playing with only 1 eye doesnt have to be the end of the game though.. this season Tony V played his best game with only 1 eye open. 
He's been playing with one foot for a decade too
This looks like another dull game. Will probably turn it off if it stays 0-0 by half time.
Why have France dropped Pogba and Griezmann?
No but he was injured for large parts of last season and I guess Hitzfeld doesn't want to take a gamble.
Giroud...why bother.
Great header.
I eat my words.
Djourou!!
What a d*ck. good header though.
Great header.
The Swiss have problems on corners, it seems. Ecuador goal was similar.
Poor keeping.
2-0!
Goal from Giroud
Game over
