Denmark vs France Live Score and Commentary

PEEP! PEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEP! FULLTIME! BOOOOOOO GOES THE LUZHNIKI

That was a punishment. Thank God it's over. Anirudh Menon signing out

Toodle-ooo

90' + 3' Sidibe passes it two yards in front of him to Larsen.

90' + 2' Delaney is off, Lerager is on

90' +1' THREE MINUTES OF ADDED TIME! AI LORD WHY! Mbappe looks to make it all worth our whiles by embarking on another power dribble into the box but the young man is crowded out

90' Even Deschamps looks bored. The Danes have shown zero inclination to attack, the French have shown zero inspiration in the face of this absurd philosophy. The both of them are going through to the next round as the ridiculously entertaining Peru are bowing out... life lessons and all that

89' Please let there be exactly zero minutes of added time. Please.

88' Mendy swings one in, Zanka Jorgensen thumps it out... the Danes are happy passing it amongst themselves.

87' Mbappe looks to force the issue with another attempted on-two; this time Giroud doesn't return it. Can't rather as he's marshalled out by Kjaer

86' Dolberg plays a neat little ball to Fischer; but his run is stopped by N'Zonzi. The French move forward through Fekir and Mbappe - but the young man ends up losing the ball with absurd complacency

85' Giroud falls back into Kjaer and the French appeal for a pen. Neither ref nor VAR give a rat's backside.

84' Mbappe looks to address this issue by bullying his way into the box; Kjaer looks at him 'are you being serious now, son' and shepherds him away with absurd ease.

83' This has got to be the most boring 83 minutes we've seen all World Cup.

82' Mbappe looks to play a quick one-two with Fekir... the Lyon man, though, eschews the return and elects to shoot. Schmeichel bats it away with a yawn

81' BOOOO GO THE LUZHNIKI AS THEY PASS IT AROUND AIMLESSLY. They as in everyone on the field.

79' Giroud chests the ball, turns and looks to volley it into the top corner. It does hit the top corner -- of the goddamn stands. AAAARGH!

78' Ole Ole Ole go the bored as hell Danes as their team passes it around aimlessly. Deschamps doesn't quite like that. He takes off Dembele, and brings on the electric Kylian Mbappe

76' Denmark pass it around a bit; Delaney tees it up to Eriksen, who tries the old schoolyard trick of knocking it around one side and collecting it around the other... but that doesn't quite come off

74' AH! WIMBLEDON 101 AGAIN! Mendy swings it into Giroud, the big man can't direct his glancing header at goal. The Danes throw on young Kasper Dolberg for big Andreas Cornelius.

72' Eriksen looks to play a cute little backheeled reverse pass into the path of Cornelius, but Varane sticks a leg in. The ball bounces out to Delaney; who's tackled cleanly by Sidibe.

70' WOOF! FEKIR STROKES THE MOST SUMPTUOUS SHOTS FROM THE EDGE OF THE BOX AND INTO THE SIDE OF THE NET

68' Mendy rampages down the left after a lovely give-and-go with Lemar, but his cross into the box comes to nothing as Griezmann is pulled up for a foul on Kjaer. Deschamps has seen enough; Nabil Fekir is brought on for Griezmann

66' Daalsgard pings in an interesting looking ball that Mendy does well to clear inside the box.

65' Varane uses Stryger like you and I would use a step-ladder, somehow Denmark only have a throw-in and not a freekick. Cornelius thumps in a cross and it all ends with the Danes getting another throw at the other end of the pitfch

64' Boos ring around the Luzhniki are both teams play like they don't really give a hoot. Sidibe looks to inject something into the French attack by racing forward and attempting a give and go with Dembele, but Larsen reads his intentions perfectly.

63' Eriksen takes, Mandanda punches out, France counter... but Dalsgaard makes sure Griezmann doesn't get to Ben Mendy

61' Delaney and Kante have had a great ol' battle running all day. Delaney wins the latest iteration, drawing a foul out of the relentless Frenchman. He foes flying up the other end... and wins Denmark a corner.

59' The Danes make a pragmatic substitution, Viktor Fischer on for Pione Sisto. Could this be the tournament's first 0-0?

58' Sisto, though, hasn't gotten the memo. He runs at Sidibe, takes him out with a swerve and pitch-wedges a ball into the box; where Cornelius is beaten to it by Varane -- the ball drops to Eriksen outside the box... but his shot is not on target.

57' Denmark are playing with the full knowledge that Peru are up 2-0. My eyes are glazing over. Help!

55' Giroud touches a nice Mendy pass onto Lemar before being clattered into - Lemar takes a touch and has a whack; but it hits the big, red, wall erected in front of Schmeichel's goal

54' OH! OH! OH! ERIKSEN SMASHES IT AT MANDANDA! THE MARSEILLE KEEPER SPILLS, BUT REACTS WELL TO GET TO THE LOOSE BALL AHEAD OF CORNELIUS!

53' Cornelius gets pushed to the ground by Varane -- the only way to beat him in the air is to make sure he doesn't take to it - and Eriksen will take this. Thirty five yards out, dead centre.

52' Mendy swings in an interesting looking ball into the box where Giroud lets it run - and Griezmann takes it into his stride; but the door's slammed shut by Kjaer.

51' Peru have made it two, Paolo Guerrero the hero! Here in Moscow, Griezmann tries a reverse pass and then a shot; neither of them are particularly succesful

50' Benjamin Mendy is given some gametime as he trots on for Lucas Hernandez. The Shark's in the water!

49' Braithwite is smashed into by Hernandez and finally Denmark have a bit of the ball. It lasts all of five seconds as France swarm forward and the press works in winning it back.

47'... till Griezmann whips one into the box, where Giroud is grappling with Jorgensen. The Frenchman gets pulled up for the foul

46' France are passing it around with ease...

PEEP! WE ARE OFF AGAIN!

PEEP! PEEP! HALFTIME!

A dreary ol' 45 minutes come to an end with both sides happy with what they've got.

45' + 2' Eriksen wins a corner a the other end... the final action of this second half will come at the French end. Eriksen's taken a lovely set-piece; but Griezmann counters at pace... he runs half the length of the pitch and he's dragged back by 'Zanka' Jorgenson with cynical professionalism. That's a yellow. The ref doesn't allow the French to take the freekick citing time -- boos from everyone in the stadium greet that decision

45' + 1' TWO MINUTES ADDED ON!

45' Dembele has a shot from the edge of the box. Schmeichel's probably strained a neck muscle trying to follow the trajectory of that ball.

44' Lemar lifts a lovely ball to Griezmann who lays it off superbly to Giroud. The big man rocks back and belts one high into the Muscovite sky. No matter, though, Griezmann'd been flagged for offside

43' France are playing keepball. Denmark are allowing them to play keepball. This is inspiring the Luzhniki to rise in a chorus of boos to a man

41' France break at pace, Dembele finding space down the right wing finally - but his cross into the box is easily headed away by Dalsgaard

40' When Denmark do elect to play football, they do so rather well, Delaney and Braithwite combine well; but then the ball travels all the way back to Kjaer - who lifts a useless ball straight into Mandanda's arms

39'... ah! Dembele pings it out wide to Griezmann, who cuts in and belts it at goal' but it's straight to Schmeichel

38' Kante Kantes his way onto the ball and that sets France forward...

37' I could go brew a coffee, taste it, throw it down the office kitchen sink, brew another, and finish drinking it - and still Kante and Nzonzi would be stroking the ball between them. Sideways to a T
