Since his 1st cap, France has never won a game that Mbappe didn't play in
Day 8 | Slovakia vs Ukraine | Poland vs Austria | Netherlands vs France

Assume they would have stood at the other post. Nobody would call it offside because the goal keeper could not have saved it anyway. It ultimately comes down to the question whether or not a save was impossible.
Five minutes? Taylor and Attwell spent longer than that verbally stroking each other off!
Weghorst, what a guy
Just can’t understand why he has been played out wide all game.
All good players, but tchouameni, kante and rabiot feels like overkill.
Especially with all the good wingers they’ve got.
Surely you get griezman at 10.
I know they have won stuff so partly justified, but Deschamps is very negative tactically considering the players he has.
He is supposed to play as a 10. feck knows whatever else he's been in the pitch
Negative Deschamps gets what he wants.
It comes down the question whether the offside player prevented the keeper from having any chance.
I'd say he did.
They should bring in bonus points for 4 goals in the pool stage matches to try and rid us of this miserable scourge of cowardly and conservative international managers
Didn't look like he has aged a day since he left the England job.
3 minutes and 3 seconds for the VAR decision alone according to RTE. 6 subs at 30 seconds each. Rabiot's injury which was well over a minute = 5 minutes apparently.
Taylor is a poison to football.

All sounds very familiar..
5 minutes added on but there was 7 added on in the fa cup final haha absolute corrupt joke
Our only goal has been scored by OG, yikes
I’d compare it to when a player knocks the ball past a defender and then gets bought down. It’s a penalty regardless of if the player would have been able to get the ball before it went out for a goal kick or not.
You can't tell that at all. As the ball leaves Simon's foot, Maignan is literally leaning over towards the side the ball went. The Dutch 22 is in front of him and to the side, meaning it's possible he had at least a peripheral awareness of him, and he then he ends up straightening up and standing because there's a massive man in an orange shirt between him and where he needs to dive.
As you said originally, it was an easy decision to make and that's because you can't stand a player next to the keeper and claim he's not in the way of shots going that side of the goal.
Really hard to pick who had the worse game. France, Holland or the Ref+ VAR team
Very very predictable.
2nd place in the group? Draw here does nothing for France.
The way Talkshite were going on before the game, you'd think France were a one man team.
I'm starting to think, maybe, they were right.

God I hope France doesn’t win this tournament.
The difference between these teams are it's clear France have been playing in second gear. And they've got Mbappe in reserve. This is the best you'll get from Holland.
That was a poor game.
Both basicly through and Poland out
Acceptable result, but Taylor robbed us. Feck you Taylor.
The first match of the tournament to end 0-0. Very disappointing.
France has been a 1 man team for a while now
Starting to think that 0-0 games should be -1 point for each team.
Deschamps is just Southgate with clutch players.......
Now you’ve experienced what we Premier League teams experience on a daily basis.
0-0?
What the buggery bollocks is this?
What the buggery bollocks is this?
Yes based on talent you would but not based on how France has been playing for a very long time
Feck these group stages. Tournament starts at knockouts
France look like they have a giant swinging dick in attack, but it's truly the limpest one in the world, especially without Mbappé.
At least he hasn't played the equivalent of Trent
Mostly bummed for Xavi Simons. Was hoping the goal today would have been the breakthrough to show what he can do in natl footie as well.
This was bad
I believe it's a possibility but it will depend on the rankings between the third placed. I'm not really clear on how its decided between Group D, E or F
England and France determimed to kill the vibe of the Euros. Sleep inducing.
