That should be a yellow
Shite ball from Laimer. What the feck was that?
Baumgartner should know better than that. Could have been a lot worse.
They are fairly fecking boring considering the players they have available. It was the same in 2018, always playing with the handbrake on and first and foremost being defensive.
In terms of players available, they've by far had the best national team for the past 6 years.
Nonsense yellow card
Not impressed by France's performance this evening. Austria lucky not to concede on that Mbappé chance though
Why? Got the ball
They mess up every crucial pass in the final third. Like watching United.
I want France to win, but I think that the yellow card is harsh.
Ragnick is the perfect coach for international football
Pathetic from the ref. The attacker got the ball first.
He got the ball first, then the keeper dives into his feet and Baumgartner got a knee in the face for his trouble. That's not a yellow for me.
Not sure how that is a yellow for Baumgartner, he got to the ball first and it was no studs up or anything. Dangerous play fine, but a yellow for that seems excessive
How is that a booking? And this referee expert waffle is wearing thin.
What a poor ball. Austria are hopeless offensively.
That should never be a yellow card.
Says it all that Maignan is on his feet way before Baumgartner. Lack of class to play injured when you've just hit someone in the face.
Yeah right, he only got the ball didn't he ?
This has been the worst officiating team of the tournament so far. They have gotten so many calls wrong.
Why is that a yellow? Attacker gets to the ball first, keeper saves it, game on?
What is this ref, geez
Whats the attacker supposed to do, just pull out if the keeper looks like going for it? Thats crazy. Different if the keeper is obviously getting there first, or going in off the floor two footed etc, but 50/50 like that it's a fair challenge surely?
I agree
Had every right to go for it. What do you expect him to do?
How many times has Griezmann lost the ball today?
Hate the "direct free kick" after 300 words to say "I think that's a foul" ... Not sure the expert has disagreed with the on field decision yet.
Feels like France will end the tournament with half a changed team from what is starting tonight.
Kolo Muani applying for worst sub of the tournament so far.
France attack is super erratic.
I don't expect him to not lunge for it, that doesn't mean the card isn't warranted. Going for the ball has never been a sure immunity against booking. What are we talking about ?
Had to be Tielemans
What's this? Do you have someone explaining every big decision or what?
Considering Austria are missing two of their best players in Alaba and Schlager they play very well.
Ref has been frothing all night to give everything to France.
This ref is frustrating.
Yeah, ITV have an expert
Never a free kick, Laimer is right to be pissed off.
This France team looks so mid. Great on paper but it's like they have no chemistry at all
This refs betting patterns need to be studied.
