World Cup 2018: France 2-1 Australia

VAR takes a bow, but did Griezmann take a dive? Even with the tech it was difficult to tell.  But 21st Century tech finally meets the World Cup, with goal line technology even needing to be employed here too.

Whatever, this was a slightly annoying game, terrible in comparison with last night's 3-3 thriller.

And what an awful diver, play actor and injury faker Lucas Hernandez is. The cheat fully deserved to be booed every time he touched the ball, for consistently acting like he'd been shot, not shoved, disembowelled not dispossessed. The sort of player who gives footballers a bad name. And Aussies brought up on Aussie Rules and Rugby will have nothing but disdain for his sort.

A case could have been made for the Aussies taking a point from this, which they would have deserved. As it is, France just about did enough to get their World Cup campaign off to a stuttering but 3 point start.

The Armchair Predicted
France 3-1 Australia
