Looking forward to this.

Not much diversity in Sky Sports punditry panel though

Is that the stadium with the crappy pitch from the other night?

Formidable looking stadium though.

Didn't realise this was even still on but hope it's a good game for those watching. Wondering if my lack of interest is because there are no clarets or superstars there

I’m watching, although the standard of the football on offer through the tournament itself has been truly awful.

Iv turned numerous games off as the standard was so bad.

Unsure why it’s so bad, there's a lot of top players mixed with very poor unknown ones. Maybe that’s why a lot of the players aren’t a patch on the others so not on the same wavelength etc ?

Max Gradel still playing at 36 years old, remember when give Trippier nightmares playing for Leeds at Turf Moor, he was very good that day.

It looks like the ground that was used for the SF on Wednesday, and the pitch wasn't good then.

Ivory Coast getting all the decisions here, talk about a homer.

They have battered them to be fair, Nigeria not even had a shot.

Nigeria score against the run of play. 1-0. Stadium , and crowd, looks vast.

The decisions going against Nigeria are laughable, that could have easily been a red, and not even looked at.

Not sure why he would get picked when he’s not playing much for West Ham?
