    And their b team loses 1-0 to Tunisia. No strength in depth have they.
    Good job Australia won or they may have been a bit miffed.

    Four key players didn't reach the WC so their B team is a bit thin on the ground. That goal shouldn't have been disallowed.

    He was in a offside position when the cross came in but he didn't interfere with play and jogged back onside. Tunisia head it clear to him in a onside position and he puts it in.

    Looked harsh.

    They have an incredible amount of strength in depth bud. Benzema, Pogba, Kante, both Hernandez, loads of others, half of these are France C team

    My strength in depth comment may have been ever so slightly tongue in cheek :D

    He was interfering with play because it obligated the defender to play the ball. He can't let it go over him as it might have given the forward a chance on goal, if the forward isn't there he can let it go over him out of play or to the keeper.

    Aye and if it had been anyone else who touched it before Griezmann it would have counted, just a shame it took so long to come to that conclusion
