Yes 💯

Tres bien la France

That’s it. Fair play to them.

Morocco was disappointing

Good solid win for France. Si glad I didn't miss the fabulous goals.

Absolutely! & Doue!

Agreed. They could, and should have been braver. It’s a knockout game, at least give it a go.

France have just confirmed their status as tournament favourites.

@LuckyHazelFox Sorry matey! 🥹

Morocco outplayed sadly

Agree.

France to win I think

See you all tomorrow night for Spain v Belgium

One more homophobic/misogynistic country bites the dust.

Yes, night all

Night night 💤🌛

Night night

That game was so boring. I'm up late because I grabbed my crochet to amuse me and I've just got to a stopping point.

I really hope the games improve.

To be fair there have been quite a few exciting games too!

I stripped my sofa covers and put them in the wash during the game 🤣 so just waiting for them to finish and hang them out

I didn't get to see the whole game - maybe the clips of the goals made it seem more exciting that it was. But does seem that France are the team to beat!

😆 🤣 I fell asleep after kick off

This is an interesting analysis regarding the viewing figures.

I switched off half way through. Even Mbappé couldn’t make it interesting for me.

They are both good but what a boring game otherwise.

Totally agree @kadarioph, my sentiments exactly. Thanks for the hat tip.

Who is playing today and which side is it on ?
