  • European winner of the 2018 World Cup
  • good riddance to Neymar
  • Wish I'd put more money on Belgium now.
  • And the irony of it is, if Neyma weren't such a fuckin cheat, he might've got 1 or even 2 pens in that game. Tala
  • Get in there @skywalker :+1:
  • Glad the South American teams are all out. All divers and cheaters. Hope they learn from this World Cup and VAR and change the way they go about things.
  • Brazil 27 shots, Belgium 9 shots.

    Wasteful Brazil.
  • Neymar with a pathetic dive in the box.
  • Excellent from Belgium. Did a job, played well and had the luck.
  • Excellent.
    Goodbye to the plastic fans’ favourite team.
    Goodbye to the biggest diver of the lot.
    Goodbye to the last of the dirty cheating South American Teams.
    All European Semifinals guaranteed.
    Just need an England win and these will be the perfect quarter finals.

  • So come Qatar 2022 its gonna be 20 years since we last had a Non European Winner
  • Brazil looked a lot better with their 3 subs on, not sure they had their starting team right

    Tweet above is right about that Kompany tackle. There was contact before the ball went out.

    Thought it was the angle from behind looking deceiving but he does get a touch on Jesus' leg just before the later contact that had happened after the ball went out of play.

    Brazil had enough chances only got themselves to blame. Great defensive display by the Belgians who if they hadn't squandered possession on the break could have made it more comfortable. The right result for England.

  • If England get through tomorrow then Spurs are fucked for the first few weeks of the season.

    Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Dembele, Kane, Trippier, Rose, Dier and Alli will all likely have had no pre season. Got to be given at least 3-4 weeks holiday after this world cup. Plus Son will be away at the Asian games.

    Minimal contact.......So it's a penalty then. The foul started eith the minimal contact whilst the ball was in play and the contact continued. Definite pen. Not that I'm complaining, they got the decision they deserved.

    Not a problem for Arsenal though!

    How you feeling about that @JohnBoyUK
  • Pochettino must be quite worried at the moment.

    Fair play to Courtois (didn't know he had even said anything about Pickford)
  • Minimal contact, ball in play

    I don't see how that's minimal, his studs are going into his ankle.
  • Please don't fall out over the Cheat not getting his penalty calls. I hope they were both stonewallers, might make up for the ones he's got by cheating. Bye
  • Let it go the games over nothing is going to change the result now and no more cheating diving South American teams left in the comp.
  • Man u will have similar problems to Spurs, Lukaku, Fellaini, Lingard, Rashford, Pogba, Jones, Young all without a pre-season as well
  • Fancied Belgium to win and pleased they did, but of course I didn't back them.

    When you watch the replay, his studs are only there for a split second as he quickly brings his foot back to his body.

    By then it is too late though and it should have been a penalty, minimal contact or not.

    Something I missed from watching the replays the first time around as I was so focused on watching the second contact and where the ball was at that point.
  • I think it should have been a penalty. But not as clear cut as I probably thought earlier
