[Football] World Cup: France vs Maty Ryan

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Not doing too bad for a midget

 

[LamieRobertson]

Refs giving France everything ..even the puffs of wind blowing French players down

 

[Hugo Rune]

Maty is the Roo’s best player so far.

 

[Beach Hut]

Who is that short arsed dwarf in the Aussie goal ?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Maty earning his keep already today. Same safe pair of hands we saw all last season

I am hopeless at this sort of thing but didn't Grealish play in a World Cup.

No Republic of Ireland didn’t qualify for one until 1990. Grealish stopped playing for them in 85.

I know I should be used to it by now having been in the Premier League for a year. But it still amazes me seeing our club's name mentioned in passing on the BBC Sport World Cup live feed, as if it's a normal thing for one of our players to be involved.

It also makes games like this a lot more exciting, c'mon Maty!

I'm on holiday in France and heard TFI talking about Brighton when talking about the Roos.
I'm in the campsite bar now biting my tongue when Maty is saving the free kicks.

If the grass was any longer you'd only see Maty's head

 

[Ali_rrr]

Maybe we can have this playing in the future every time he makes a save.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Anyone spotted any sandpaper yet

My bet on jedinak being 1st yellow down

When will we get the traditional Zidane style headbutt

 

[LowKarate]

So far, watching Ryan set up his defence for a free-kick or corner every 2 minutes has a very familiar feel (as witnessed at Stamford Bridge, Wembley, The Emirates, Anfield, etc...).

And again

Best post so far, even on a World Cup match day thread we get a bit of Brighton negativity, not being nasty, just find it very funny.

Cheating Frogs

 

[AmexRuislip]

France TV station Canal + are installing VAR to their channels, as their footy team, so good at play acting!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

My bet on jedinak being 1st yellow down

Elbows Jedinak. I can't stand the Palace reject. I remember the first playoff when he nearly concussed Barnesy a couple times.

 

[Hugo Rune]

This is a Ref to avoid! Totally inconsistent.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

France doing a bit of a Uruguay at the moment, showing very little. And Aussies doing a bit of an Egypt
