Greece not helping themselves with that hit on Mourgue.

Considering Greece have a handful of domestic players playing they've done well.

Which ones?

there's been a jar of olives in the fridge since last year - might crack em open for the second half to enhance the atmosphere 

I might smash a few plates. Save me doing the washing up.

Yes they have.

Penalty but a bit of football World Cup reaction from morgue there 

[Dave T]

Jullien, looking better than he ever did at Wi..... 

Oh, we've done that one... 

[JimBronco]

France powering through the middle so often and it's too much for Greece 

[Josef K]

France come first for me with having the best kit of the competition. I love the red & blue Vee. 

[DEANO]

Another penalty for something he never saw

[Desert Skipper]

It’s a good job they didn’t play RL in ancient Greece. I’d forever be trying to work out whether Pythagoras was square or not at the play the ball.

[Guest]

Well, that was enjoyable.

stop getting high brow with the humour please

[Harry Stottle]

France have no much chance of getting a win against Samoa.

[Wendigo7]

Greece a few bounces away from a few scores in that half.

[MatthewWoody]

Fite not working tonight

[The Legend]

Greece needed that hooter there. They're showing some enterprise with ball in hand but need to put some work in defensively. England should be close to putting a century on them. They're far too slow getting off the line. 

[gingerjon]

France could and should go past 60 in the second half but it's great to see Greece go for it in the way they have.

[GeordieSaint]

Larroyer’s accent…

… the French love a northern English/French mixed accent!

You wouldn't be confused if your Fite was working.

60 handling errors?

Not having a singer for the games at the world cup, especially for teams like Greece and Jamaica in their first competitions, is a disgracefully cheap outcome.

Doesn't happen at any other World Cups.

The recent women's Euros only had a live singer for the Old Trafford opener and the final.

I suspect it'll be similar at the men's football World Cup as well.

I know the PA system at Doncaster is a bit tinny but that would just be an unnecessary expense.

France really should be racking up a big score in this second half. They really need to be building and improving for the games to come.

I caught the latter part of what he had to say.  He spoke very well; more intelligent and articulate in English than a few, English born-and-bred, SL players I can think of!
