  • Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba (official starting lineup)
  • AS Roma defender Lucas Digne (subs)
It’s a bad start for France!   Imagine, Referee Nicola Rizzoli giving a penalty to the Republic of Ireland in the 1st minute.  On top of that, the penalty was conceded by France / Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba after a foul on forward Shane Long inside the penalty area.  Well, taking the penalty spot is midfielder Robbie Brady… and you guessed it right…. Brady converting the penalty defeating France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris with a left footed shot in  the bottom right corner.   You bet a cold shower was felt among France fans at the stadium.
