Checking and then, wrongly IMO, ignoring the foul by Doué on the edge of his own box in the build up. 

Not shown again, of course, as it would have been obvious it should have been a foul.

This is something that's really pissing me off with this WC. Case just proved further with the VAR check for Mbabbe's goal. There's a clear reluctance from the TV directors to show any replays at all of VAR checks or other potentially controversial incidents.

Can't have Joe Public seeing the evidence for any suspicious decisions now can we.

At last something of world cup standard. Did I hear correctly there are 8 officials including VAR at a match now?

The standard of refereeing goes up exponentially with every extra official.

[skintsaint]

Meh.

[adrian lord]

Game over.

[die Mannyschaft]

The more Morocco attack and leave tgd low block the more goals they will let in.

[SNSUN]

That's two. Game over. I'm going to watch Wayne's World 2.

Morocco have been absolutely insipid and quite frankly deserve to lose.

It’s tricky to play against teams that focus heavily on defence.

Being 2-0 down will open up some possibilities for the rest of the match.

Mbappe injured?

It's a shame as they looked good earlier in the tournament and particularly vs Brazil in the group stage where they were much more positive and I thought the better side. I remember they have been similar to today in knockout stages in previous world cups, they seem to retreat into their shell and not believe they can compete in the latter stages.

Yep, absolutely wasted the chance. Why fight to get here and then just sit back until its too late?

Conspiracy theory. Maybe someone offered them money to throw the game. They were that bad

Interesting you mentioning that - it fleetingly crossed my mind that it was rather coincidental that France were pitted against Morocco - a country with many ties to France and clearly unlikely to cause an upset. Another example of FIFA fixing…surely not? 😉
