What was with the parachute at the beginning?

Some kind of publicity stunt that went wrong?

France might score and it's actually allowed!
Five mins to go ..

Disappointing game, deserved win for France

Tomorrow's fixtures

14:00 Finland - Russia
17:00 Turkey - Wales
20:00 Italy - Switzerland

Well that was a shit game.

I did warn you, didn't I?
I even put that result down in the office.

I've found the last two 8pm games underwhelming - hopefully now all the teams are coming up to their 2nd matches the tempo may "up" somewhat.

Would like to see wins for Finland, Wales and Italy tomorrow.

It's the hope that kills you

I am going for Finland, Wales and Italy as well.
See you all tomorrow

Wales has both Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey needing to play well, given the distrust in them from Real Madrid and Juventus.

Finland, Wales, Italy here too.

I'm gonna watch a bit of Scrubs now though😁
nite nite crew

Come on Finland!
I really love the Russian national anthem though

Finland, Turkey, Italy for me. Commentary much improved now back on the BBC.

BBC really do have much better commentators don't they? I'm already liking Robyn Cowen.

Come on Finland!!

Get in 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Agree Cowen has got that confident easy way about her, commentating is definitely a skill.

That was a close call, definitely need thicker lines!

Yes, she's not just constantly talking and talking trying to prove her knowledge. It's all about what's happening on the pitch. I really like her, and her pairing with Martin Keown is really working.

You are right, its the time she isn't speaking, the pauses that are allowed that make her easy to listen to. Agree like Keown and they do work well.

That looks like he's knackered his shoulder. Nasty landing.

I think if Finland keep their heads they could get something on the counter. Russian defence is very weak.

Afternoon all, just got back from my seconds jab appointment and now getting comfy and watch the footie

Ouch that looked painful

I see UEFA has suspended Arnautovic for one match after being found guilty of 'insulting another player'

1-0 Russia, well taken goal

Excellent goal.

FT Finland 0 -1 Russia
Not a great match wirh a lot of stopping/fouls but thenI didn't really expect any different.
One moment of quality won it for Russia

Come on Wales!
