Mitch Langerak would be our tallest keeper (6' 4") but Mat Ryan is clearly our best keeper right now. He saved our backsides a few times tonight. The French winner wasn't his fault either. We were tiring, we started committing sloppy passes coughing up possession in dangerous spots and left space in the middle of our defence for Pogba to waltz through. They got lucky with it lobbing just in too. It looked like it deflected off Behich given the spin on the ball.
Very disappointing to lose given how we played but our concentration dropped off in the last 10-15 mins as we tired and the French made us pay. It's a harsh game. I hope we don't back slap ourselves too much after what is after all a loss. We still have two games to go in the group stage and we can still qualify for the knockout stage if we play with that intensity and concentration for the whole 90 minutes rather than 80.
The one positive is our goal difference wasn't hurt with a one goal loss. Best case scenario is a Denmark-Peru draw later tonight followed by the French going through the group with 3 wins. We'll now most likely need a win and a draw to go through.
ps. Lucas Hernandez is a staging cheat. No wonder his nickname is the "diver"
.
