    Missed the start of this. Why is Pogba not playing? Thought he played really well in first game.

    Rooney syndrome. Everyone in France thinks he plays in second gear when he's in a French shirt, simply because they expect him to perform miracles.
    Unlike England though, France have never been scared to drop a big name player for perceived poor performance.
    Erm....Jimmy Greaves springs to mind!
    At first sight i thought you'd said Jimmy Case.

    Albania deserve something from this but expect a late "get out of jail " goal from the French

    Enjoying this second half. No idea how it is going to end though. Really intense pace, but this Albania team doesn't lack self-belief.

    My Italy bet it's looking better with each game

    When was Greaves dropped?

    Gonna be a good last round of fixtures for Group A thats for sure.

    If Albania get a point then whoever wins between them and Romania will take 3rd and no doubt get through on four points... Not to mention they'd also go joint points with Switzerland if they lose against France so potentially the winners can take 2nd.

    Even a defeat tonight can see Albania sneak through if they beat Romania though, nothing changes in that respect other than the fact that France are through tonight

    Harsh on Albania, but can't say I'm that surprised.

    France have such a weak group - they couldn't fail to go through. Any of the big teams in such a weak group would go through with less fuss than this even.

    Such as Eng...

    Oh hang on a minute.

    I think I'd just take Milner not coming on to close out a 1-0 lead!

    A win tomorrow effectively guarantees we'll be in the next round.

    Bilic is brilliant.

    He's actually making ITV coverage palatable.

    Marc Wilmots is being a dick, slagged off Italy on two occasions now after their 2-0 defeat

    “Italy specifically played on the counter-attack. They did not play real football and when faced with everyone sitting back, it becomes difficult."

    "The Italy Coach just has to rely on the Juventus defence in a bloc, he doesn’t even need to do any work with them.”

    He also says he reckons that Belgium deserves a draw, I think delusion has rubbed off on him from hanging around with Roland.
