Doesn't change much for Denmark, still need to beat the aussies
Day 7: Tunisia vs Australia | Poland vs Saudi Arabia | France vs Denmark | Argentina vs Mexico

- Start date
We lost to a much, much better side. No shame in that.
I will maintain, that if we can't beat Australia, we don't belong in the knock-outs anyway.

I’d love to see France-Brazil.
Strange cameo to say the least. It's like he doesn't even wanna try to earn more playing minutes. Like this WC has ruined his vacation plans or something
Pretty sure Denmark will qualify though, you guys are a good team that can play proper football. But yeah, why park the bus when it was going fine.
I think Denmark deserved a draw but you gotta defend till the end.
Picked up greatly in the 2nd half. Mbappe the difference maker.
At least we will have the opportunity to see the likes of Saliba, Camavinga, Guendouzi or Kolo Muani.
The only thing missing is Argentina losing for an ideal day for me.
Deschamps always wins the first 2 WC games, as a player or a coach.
France is the 1st world champion to qualify for the final stage since 2006. Crazy.
Benz and Pogba out can be seen as a blessing for not entirely sporting reasons. Don't agree about Kante.
That's the difference between England and France. They didn't necessarily play that well but the difference was a world class player stepping up when his country needed him to.
Eurgh... you have a point, with a pointless group stage including a dead rubber against Tahiti or similar.
Yeah so it's weird Denmark just didn't go for it more and looked to try settle for 1-1
Fecking hell. Your manager has done amazing things with this team and very unlucky not to have got a result tonight. Literally overachieved with this Denmark team.
France picking it up in the main competition, looking really good all round the field.
So currently we have Ecuador vs Senegal, Iran vs USA, and Denmark vs. Aussies as 3 very tasty winnter-take-all last group games
Yeah he had a good game overall, his 2mn brain fart could have cost us though.

That description is perfect, I would be tempted to send him to his holidays after that.
This could be Mbappe's tournament.
Crazy that he's Just got Fontaine ahead of him
And also Deschamps playing all his best tools when needed. Leaving Foden out to have Mount finish the game is a crime in football
France played much better this game than what England showed yesterday against USA.
Yesterday England was getting outrun by USA the whole match
If Mbappe wasn't so wasteful they could have be leading since the 1st half.
Exactly. That's what I wrote. Denmark was dominant. Coward move.
If we play like today we have a great chance.
That’s when the tournament gets going.
Unlike yesterday today's games have been excellent, even Tunisia v Australia earlier wasn't that bad. Hoping for more of the same in Argentina v Mexico.
Yeah, especially when you take into account the fact that we had players like Henry, Cantona, Papin, Trezeguet, Ribery, Benzema, Ginola, Anelka etc. But something went wrong at one point with almost every one of them.
Maybe because they have a world class player. Can’t say the same thing for us.
Laura's been on the pisser last night hasn't she
The way it should be. Always annoying when two teams win and then face each other in the final game as a dead game
Win the Champions League
Iran vs USA such a loaded game.
Lisandro Martinez starts. Finally the coach realizes his mistake
Kante's the worst of the 3 in a french shirt.
+1 nicely done
Wtf. I knew Klose was good for his NT, but 16 is a pretty insane number.
I think Mbappe might reach 16 though.
And he already has 2018 as his tournament. If he brings France to this one too, he’ll be Pele levels of iconic World Cup stars.
It's been a funny World Cup but Denmark should demolish Australia if they play like that. They literally had one chance earlier, scored from it and offered little else. Against France they were punished heavily for being more of the same.
