  • Bit gutted, Brazil imo should always be in the tail end of a WC
  • And I don’t like Belgium!
  • Belgium are an unbelievable team.
  • France/Belgium

    vs.

    Russia/Croatia/Sweden/England
  • Man u will have similar problems to Spurs, Lukaku, Fellaini, Lingard, Rashford, Pogba, Jones, Young all without a pre-season as well

    Am I bothered though ;-)
  • We've now stayed in the tournament longer than Germany, Portugal, Argentina, Spain, Uruguay and Brazil. Would've got ridiculous odds on that 3 weeks ago.

  • Contact doesn’t mean foul. It is a contact sport.
  • Enjoyed that game. Courtois, Kompany, and Lukaku immense - and honest -performances.

    It does when it's an attempted tackle that misses the ball and takes out the player. Slightly different to shoulder to shoulder.
  • 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.

    If England win the World Cup they might as well cancel this season anyway, everyone will still be drunk deep into November.
    I thought you were talking about the takeover...

    If we can't win it, I'd rather Belgium win their semi final.

    A first time winner guaranteed would make for an exciting final.

    I’d rather Belgium win regardless. If we’re lucky enough to make the final, I really couldn't face losing to the French. Belgium (Sparta from Roland) are pretty irrelevant. They certainly didn’t feature in many ‘top 10 hated country lists’.

    Belgium announced themselves as proper contenders there. Their much mocked manager did a tactical job on Brazil and his group of supposed talented individuals that can't play as a team set aside their egos to execute his tactical plan.

    They fully deserve to be where they are, and France will be worried having seen that. To me, Belgium look the best team left in the tournament.
    That mocked manager has an assistant … Thierry Henry . Not mentioned enough imo ...

    Henry is class, and will be invaluable to players like Lukaku and Hazard.

    I wonder how he is going to feel in this Semi-Final against France..?

    I hadn't thought of that. Against his former international team mate Deschamps too.

    Belgium have got the least cool fans at the tournament.

    Between their fans, the film ‘In Bruges’ and Roland I’ve decided I never want to visit Belgium again. What a boring country.
    Indeed … we're a dull bunch . Nearly not as wild as you tea sipping, scones munching lot :)
  • My main concern about Belgium winning the World Cup is that Roland might get his enthusiasm back and decide the keep us!!!!

    I never knew that. I was watching in Bulgaria and wondering why the TV was focusing on him.

    You can be very proud of your team tonight.

    That would be a disaster. Luckily, he doesn't like football.

    Or winning.

    Did you watch the game?
    Eden Hazard owned it!
  • Cracking game. Best so far by miles. End to end stuff, loads of shots. Statistically Brazil were all over Belgium but stats don't actually mean anything in football, apart from one, goals. Belgium deserved their victory but France will be a tougher nut to crack.
