Typical slow start by France. Watch them settle in and take control of the game.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
Whenever you see one team more energetic than the other at the start of the match, it usually means that one manager has told his team to blitz the first few minutes, whilst the other has instructed his side to keep things tights from the outset.
The way this game is going, I think France will start to dominate from minute 30 onwards. Croatia will need a goal or two before then.

Croatia need to get a goal here while they are on top.
France look a bit nervous, two years ago still playing on their mind perhaps.
Putin's been taking lessons in tie length from Trump
Putin looks higher than Maradona! 
Hard to watch this and not think what could've been. FFS Kane.
Pretty sure that'll be the other way around.
at PutinThe stamina/fitness levels of these Croatia players is immense. Wonder if they can sustain it later in the game like they did in the previous ones. 3 back to back 120 minute games and they come out of the blocks flying. Maybe the Russia doping thread should have been about Croatia.
Is that Martin Keown on commentary having a go at Pogba?
Lack of quality from Perisic a couple of times so far. Poor final ball there and poor touch before.
There has to be something going from Trump to his master!
He's high as feck, am I right? Smoking on blunts and drinking Tanqueray.
Perisic vs Pavard has been a massacre so far.
Perisic is a fantastic player. Can see why José wanted himm
In a great mood obviously. Watch the WC final today - meet with his American puppet tomorrow.Putin looks higher than Maradona!
Perisic could have done better with that pass to avoid Umtiti.
Remember when all the super scouts on here thought Perisic was shit?
