End of 2nd Half
FT
So ends the worst game of the World Cup. France are through in first, Denmark are through in second. That was appalling.
Whistles all around, but they're both into the last 16.

90+1'
A slight moment of excitement as Mbappe dances into the Denmark area, but he can't find Giroud with his pass across the box.
90'
Somehow there are three minutes added on...
89'
The fall-out from this game could be interesting, but in truth there is little you can do about two teams playing the ball around without trying to score. They're both protecting what that have. Sadly for the supporters it has made for a terrible spectable. The worst at this year's World Cup, and perhaps worse than I've seen at any major tournament.
87'
The boos are very audible now as Denmark play it sideways in defence. Any chance the fans can get their money back for this game?
85'
Replays show Giroud throwing himself to the ground in the box, while backing into Kjaer. Never a pen. Nice try, I guess.
83'
Fekir has some time and space 20 yards out, curls a low effort towards goal and Schmeichel gets over to tip it away. I suppose that counts as one of the best chances of this whole match.
82'
Now everyone is whistling, I think. Schmeichel takes an age to clear it - no intent anywhere!
80'
And that just about sums the game up, Giroud chests it down and fires a volley up into orbit before it lands in Row AB.
79'
Can Mbappe spark this game into life??

Ironic cheers from the Danish fans as they play it round the back. Whistles from the French, and probably neutrals too. Zzz.

WIDE! Mendy's cross finds Giroud, but his header is some 10 yards wide of the target.
73'
It's just so, so flat. Eriksen sprays a pass nowhere near its intended target, and that just about sums up the afternoon so far.
71'
SIDE NETTING! Quite the introduction from Fekir, who shows some intent with a fine strike from 20 yards out, and it curls into the side netting, but only just...
69'
And off goes Griezmann. Here's Fekir!

A few whistles around the stadium. Not sure who's showing their disgruntlement with what, but you have to feel for the supporters in the stadium.
65'
What to do. What to do. Maybe sort my taxes out. Send out a couple invoices. Sift through some e-mails I may have missed. It's that boring.
62'
Denmark have themselves a corner, but Mandanda punches away Eriksen's cross.
