HT: France 0-0 Nigeria
Credit to the Nigerians. Thought they would come out and park the bus but they've made quite a game out if it
I'm patiently waiting for Drogba to come in.Quote:

Yep. Rolled over that ankle pretty bad. Wouldn't be surprised if he tore something. Those hurt like hellQuote:

I would not have guessed that it would be 0-0 with 15 minutes left... Nigeria is stronger than I gave them credit for.
Nigeria is a VERY strong squad. After seeing them in the Group Stage, I'm not surprised to see them doing so well.Quote:

France with a goal!
Just as I say that. France scores off the corner. 1-0 France 80'
Jinxed him. Really bad play on that goal. If you come, you have to get it away.Quote:

Correct. He should've punched that one away instead of trying to just palm it. Silly mistake by the GK.Quote:
