Fair play to Diddy Deschamps. Considered to be unfashionable as player and coach but managed to marshal a talented but uncoordinated team.

Good to see them feeling positive about something in Paris after the Bataclan attacks. Will give their nation a lift and hopefully stick in the craw of Le Penn and the far right who don't accept black players as Frenchmen.

Lovely touch the French making a guard of homour for the Croats.

What was the Croatian keeper doing on goals 3 and 4?

Hoddle said his weight was going the wrong way.

I don't agree and think he was actually going back the right way on both occasions.

But he sort of gave up and just let it go past him both times.

I suppose it all happens so fast but wish one of the stations would employ a keeper as a pundit who could go into this sort of technical detail a bit more than sometimes hearing the comment, 'the keeper could have done better there'.

PS Thinking of Ray 'My word' Wilkins at this time and would love to be listening to his summary now. You are missed Ray.

It's a shame the ref spoilt the game slightly. Croatia were controlling the first half
