Today’s Round of 16 matchup between France and Nigeria highlighted the possibility of history repeating itself again. The French have the tendency to be inconsistent when it comes to World Cup run’s, and according to the facts, after a poor 2010 World Cup, they are due to make it far this time.

However, it was not smooth sailing against the resilient Nigerians, the African’s looked the more threatening side in the first half, only to be kept at bay by Lloris. France looked more aggressive in the second half, perhaps too aggressive as Matuidi was booked for a reckless challenge that could have easily been a red card. The breakthrough came for France after a goalkeeping error left a wide open net for Paul Pogba. Valbuena then helped put France out of site as he caused havoc down the right, forcing an own goal by Yobo.

The scoreline did not pay homage to Nigeria’s efforts, but the French go through to the quarter finals.

The Turk went to Pogba for a great second half performance.
The Jerk was awarded to the groundskeeper, the field looked like a bomb site
