France beat Australia 2-1 in the opening match of Group C at the World Cup on Saturday and they had VAR to thank after a controversial penalty decision.

Antoine Griezmann stepped up to convert the spot kick but a later Samuel Umtiti bizarre handball allowed Mile Jedinak to equalise with his own penalty.

Goal-line technology was then called upon to confirm that Paul Pogba’s winner crossed the line after his deflected shot hit the underside of the bar.

Here are the best of the tweets and jokes from France 2-1 Australia at Russia 2018:

Antoine Griezmann just debating whether to have a pre-match dump or not.

Decision video is expected on his social media any time now. #FRAAUS

Reasons to support Australia…

I'm going there on holiday in August.

We have Aussie friends.
