  • Come on Brazil and knock the scummy jammy twats out

    Not for me, I could not care less about the Roland connection. After watching a poor Brazil and that diving, whinging, cheating Neymar I hope Belgium send them home.
    Same here.
  • Me as well. Neymar is a joke.
  • Portugal 3-3 Spain

    France 4-3 Argentina

    Belgium 3-2 Japan

    Which is best??


    Tonight’s game. Belgium 3-2 Japan
  • Still Portugal V Spain for me.
  • France 4-3 best for me so far.
  • France 4 Argentina 3 was the best game so far for me.
    Belgium 3 Japan 2 was the best 2nd half.
    Portugal 3 Spain 3 was the best Derby so far.
  • Got to say Martinez got those subs right.

    Subs right= Starting XI wrong.

    France 4-3 Argentina

    Belgium 3-2 Japan

    Tonights was great but not the best game but definitely the best 2nd half!
    4-3 France v Argentina looks good on paper but Argentina were actually never in it.
    Best game was Spain 3 - 3 Portugal, but where are those two now?
  • Something about Brazil...
    Love their musicians, can't stand their football team. And that number 10... there's a way to cheat in style. Just to think of the lovable cheats of yesteryears like the Romanian master Gheorghe Hagi, or the Bulgarian Stoichkov.
    Oh, those were the days...

  • Does everyone appreciate that these players are not wearing soft soled running shoes but hard studded football boots?

    Obviously Neymar was trodden on and the Mexican should have received a red or yellow card.

    But even the 7 year old who was watching with me commented on Neymar's play acting.

    Please tell me you did recognise that his rolling and writhing was acting ?
    Not to mention the fact that he was as right as rain straight after.
    Try pressing down on something with the front of your foot with your ankle on the floor at a similar angle. It's an extremely weak muscle. There's no leverage. I'm sure it didn't hurt one bit.
  • I had to record the Belgium-Japan game last night and I'm catching up with it now. Fellaini has just equalised so I can only see one end to this now. Japan have been very impressive and if they had a couple of 6" 3' centre-backs they'd still be in the lead.

    Not necessarily. It can also mean that the way the game played out was not how they had set up and planned for. Therefore, Martinez assessed and read the situation and made changes accordingly to be able to turn it around.

    There is nothing to say that had he started the team that ended the game, it would’ve been the same result.

    Regardless of if it hurt or not. There is no need for the reaction afterwards. Nor the first time we’ve seen him roll around, and won’t be the last.

    Belgium 3 Japan 2 was the best 2nd half.
    Portugal 3 Spain 3 was the best Derby so far.

    Id also add the Germany win over Sweden and loss to South Korea, both were good games to watch - England 6-1 win over Panama was brilliant too as just doesnt happen to us

    Those three you mention are the best three of the Tournament though

    Just tried this experiment. I can guarantee if anyone were good enough to let me try the experiment on their shin bone just above the ankle whilst I am wearing hard studded football boots the words coming out of their mouths would not be expressions of how surprisingly painless it was!

    Did you have plenty of space around you to roll around like a spoilt little girl that didn’t get her own way?
  • Argentina game of tournament for me, admittedly i only watched bits of Spain / Portugal ( was at a pool weekend in blackpool, might have been playing).
  • I'm sure it hurt a bit but people have made less fuss when they have been mortally wounded!

    In my experiment I was the stamper not the stampee.

    I just cant stand the thought of Roland having any happiness in his life - as long as Belgium dont fluke a win I dont care.
  • We are more likely to beat belgium then Brazil or France, so will cheer them on to the final for that reason alone. Still think we would have a chance against the other 2 but would rather not play them.

    Totally agree
  • pointless fact (or is it ??) ….. Neymar and C Ronaldo share a birthday, different years .. (one of my sons was born on exactly the same day as Ronaldo, February 5th 1985)

    Another pointless fact all be it well known

    Cristiano Ronaldo is 869 days older than Lionel Messi

    Cristiano Ronaldo Junior is 869 days older than Thiago Messi
  • Annoyingly I've managed to miss both the Belgium/Japan match and the France/Argentina match!

    Feel sorry for Japan, but so much better to go out in that way than parking the bus and losing 1-0.
  • Wouldn't like to call this one.
