France rocking. France creaking.

Peter Odemwingie lets fly from outside the area that forces Hugo Lloris into a decent save.

Nigeria are enjoying their best spell of the game. Can they hurt France?

Luis Suarez statement: "After several days of being home with my family I have had the opportunity to regain my calm and reflect about the the reality of what occurred during the Italy-Uruguay match on 24 June 2014.

"Independent from the fallout and the contradicting declarations that have surfaced during these past days, all of which have been without the intention of interfering with the good performance of my national team, the truth is that my colleague Giorgio Chiellini suffered the physical result of a bite in the collision he suffered with me.

"For this I deeply regret what occurred. I apologise to Giorgio Chiellini and the entire football family. I vow to the public that there will never again be another incident like this."

A development on the Luis Suarez story to bring you - the Uruguayan striker has apologised for biting Giorgio Chiellini and has vowed "there will never again be an incident like this".

Steve Huish, Surbiton: That was a definite red card for France. That was an ankle breaker.

Onazi does not re-appear this time.

Instead former Kilmarnock player Reuben Gabriel is sent on as a substitute before Emmanuel Emenike fires narrowly over the bar.

France are making a change too. Olivier Giroud is put out of his misery, Antoine Griezmann coming on.

It just hasn't happened for Giroud.

"That should have been a red card. It is a leg breaker. Matuidi's gone in with his studs showing, missed the ball and gone over the ankle. That's a terrible tackle."

Two of the opening four last-16 ties have gone to extra-time. This is heading in that way too.

Karim Benzema might be in an unfamiliar wide role, but you can't argue with his attacking statistics so far in this World Cup...

Another heavy French tackle. This time Blaise Matuidi is booked for an ugly late tackle on Ogenyi Onazi who has pain etched all over his face.

Onazi has been in the wars this game and is carried off on a stretcher for a second time. Will we see him back?

This second half has yet to get going. It's all stop-start. But it will suit Nigeria. France need to step up.

"I keep saying it, but when is Didier Deschamps going to make a change? Time after time Nigeria are breaking down the right. It's just the final ball that needs to be better."

Oshaniwa is back on. His return sparks a decent period of play for Nigeria.

Victor Moses teases a couple of French defenders on the edge of the area before the ball spins away from him. More frustration for the Super Eagles.

France are getting stuck in. A heavy challenge by Mathieu Debuchy results in another delay as Juwon Oshaniwa receives treatment before hobbling off.

Nigeria are temporarily down to 10 men.

"Nigeria have been able to go at the French full-backs and get at them. It has been very open but I'd say Nigeria have been causing France problems."

Very fortunate escape for Peter Odemwingie as he loses possession to Olivier Giroud on the edge of Nigeria's penalty area. It's a poor cross by the France striker though.

Here we go again. . .

"Nigeria thought they had scored but the offside flag went up. I thought maybe the forward would have been given the benefit of doubt. It was a great ball in. We talked up Raphael Varane before the game but he didn't know where the ball was."

Andrew Mitchell:, external Is Karim Benzema impersonating Fred?

Patrick:, external Really disappointed with John Mikel Obi, worst number 10 ever!

Aftab:, external I think this match will be decided on sharpness in the final third. Olivier Giroud and Benzema v Emmanuel Emenike, Victor Moses and Ahmed Musa.

Former England captain Rio Ferdinand
MOTD

"I can only think the France manager Didier Deschamps has put Karim Benzema out wide for the benefit of the team but he does not look happy out there. The ball is not coming to him as often as he would like.

"If you are a centre-half and you see the opposition's most dangerous striker out there you are thinking 'brilliant'. I've played against Benzema and he is so much more dangerous through the middle."
