A Dane deal: Group C conclusion

[Kevin S]

Denmark will be hoping France are happy with the point that will allow both teams to qualify. Still a slim hope for Australia though if the Nordics slip up.

[Gangster Octopus]

Ah, so there is a thread...

[ursus arctos]

Deschamps is resting six starters.

[Diable Rouge]

That looked like a penalty.

[Diable Rouge]

Danes bossing this so far.

[Ray de Galles]

That looked like a penalty.

Initially yes but he fell over his own feet/airkick.

[Ray de Galles]

Hoddle thinks the squad players starting today will want to "hit Deschamps in the eye". I think he means catch his eye but it's never clear with old Glenn.

[Satchmo Distel]

Giroud starting increases the chances of a 0-0.

[Gangster Octopus]

Very high foot there.

[Jah Womble]

Australia creating most over in the Fisht. As one would expect.

[Satchmo Distel]

Lemar has changed since his Fame Academy days.

[Satchmo Distel]

Quality goal from Peru.

[Jah Womble]

Peru lead 1-0.

[Gangster Octopus]

Just lost my Australia-Peru feed. Our work wifi is crap...

[Gangster Octopus]

And I miss a goal...

[Diable Rouge]

All of which makes our first 0-0 more probable.

[Satchmo Distel]

Tactical foul yellow card by Denmark

[multipleman78]

That looks like another mistake. Guerrero is offside in the build up to Peru's goal.

[Jah Womble]

Was the ball not played to him by an Australian defender?

Fair to say that this group has been the least inspiring of all?

[multipleman78]

No, definitely a long ball over the top from Peru.

[Satchmo Distel]

Group A was the most disappointing; only one decent side. But this has been duller apart from Denmark v Peru, which effectively decided it, Australia not being likely to win one.

[ad hoc]

Taking off Hernandez and replacing him with Mendy instantly turns France's on-field likeability score from 1 to about 7

[Wouter D]

Peru double the lead.

[Jah Womble]

Again, nicely taken.

[Incandenza]

Very happy for Peru.
