So France surface top of the hardest group in the competition. Their efficiencies so far recommend they are far from unsurpassable. They have actually been disjointed and sluggish for numerous spells in their 3 games, and Deschamps conservatism appears to have restricted them sometimes. What is more, they lost both their left-backs – Hernandez and Digne – to injury today so will require to come up with a plan to cover that loss moving forward.

Full-time: Portugal 2-2 France

A topsy-turvy video game ends with a result that suits both teams. France finish top of Group F and will deal with Switzerland in the Last 16. Portugal go through as one of the very best third-place teams (and deal with Belgium, I believe), while second area in the group goes to Germany, who will deal with England next.

Koundé accidentally obstructs a Ronaldo cross from the byline with his arm! He was really close to the ball but his arms were flapping in front of him. I think this will stand even after the VAR evaluation!

57 min: Jota has been really quiet up until now. Perhaps the modification of left-backs will assist him find a method into the game? “The Digne for Hernandez change at half-time was not simply a favorable modification it was injury enforced according to Deschamps on French TELEVISION at half-time,” states Robert Lin. “France have actually simply lost their two left-backs.” Perhaps Aymeric Laporte could complete there. Oh, wait.

46 min: Whats this? A favorable modification from Deschamps: Hes changed Hernandez with Digne for the 2nd half. Portugal are introducing Palinha for Danilo, perhaps because the latter has actually not totally recovered from being clobbered by Lloris.

As things stand, France are leading of Group F and Portugal are 2nd – and headed for a date with England. Theres undoubtedly plenty more drama to come in the second half …

Mbappé went down in the vicinity of Semedo as he attempted to reach a pass from Pogba. Its bad choice, in my book, as the fullback was guilty not nothing more serious than not getting out of the way of Mbappé as he ran with him, and Mbappé wasnt going to get the ball either.

42 minutes: Moutinho slashes wide from 20 lawns. Theres a lot of discussion in my inbox about the charge choice. Some say it was absurd, others back the ref. No one actually asked my opinion however Im going to provide it anyhow: awarding the charge was right, since goalkeeping recklessness should be penalized more often. Lloris leapt at his challengers fist-first and caught him in the head. That wasnt his intent however no outfield gamer would get away with it.
