  • Stuck in work - M6 nightmare - everything coming through the A500.

    Looks like a quick bite to eat in the restaurant and watching Belgium/France here. This better not happen tomorrow night!!
  • Who Wants Belgium to win tonight?

    Obviously Extra time and pens but any other thoughts?
  • I want Belgium cos I got them in the sweepstake. I’ll take the 25 quid if we smash ‘em in the final......
  • My two picks at the outset of the World cup.
    The two best teams here.
    The winner of the WC will come from this game.
    Can't split them.
  • Getting nervy already and we got 24 hours yet until the game.
  • Hazard looks bang up for it tonight
  • I have asked a few of my mates - completely split from :

    France - coz wanna spank them in the final!

    To another "mate" who said Miiiillllllwaaaaal....

    Prick !
  • England would be the underdog against either of these teams. But I think Belgium would actually be the more difficult team for them to beat. France has more talent but Belgium seems a more cohesive TEAM.
  • Mbappe, greizman, pogba to have a brawl with courtois, hazard, Dr bruyne and fellani. All sent off and Belgium to win 68-67 in a penalty shootout after an exhausting 0-0 draw full of confidence sapping mistakes.
  • I watched us play France at Wembley in the friendly after the theatre attacks in Paris - and we were a tonne better than them there

  • Lukaku has had 1 touch in the first 20 minutes here... even with all this attacking from belgium so far
  • My two picks at the outset of the World cup.

    Can't split them.

    Just read this- whaaaat?



  • All Belgium so far. Look threatening every time they go forward.
  • This is a cracking game between two attacking sides.
  • Belgium well on top.
  • Great save - French under pressure but great at counter attack as are Belgium - could be a great game...
    So

    0-0 banged on hopefully !!
  • Going with Belgium win here, 2-0
  • After 25 mins these 2 teams do not look nervous that's for sure
  • Anything but

    It would have been absolutely epic to beat Russia in the Semi Final on their own turf. I don’t need to go into the details obviously, but the back story and context of the whole thing would have been unreal.

    There would have been a blizzard and we would have been overpowered by the driving snow and with Moscow all a blazing have lost the bonny bunch of roses oh...

  • Would prefer France to win this I think. The thought of having to face De Bruyne if we make it makes me nervous.
  • @DRAddick Thank God someone has posted.

    Thought I was the only one in the country watching a World Cup semi final and that England were in the other Semi Final

    Thought I had been in a dream for 3 weeks!

    Giroud is just not good enough. Saw that all the time at Arsenal. Misses more open shots than anyone.
  • Enjoying this
  • Giroud is just not good enough. Saw that all the time at Arsenal. Misses more open shots than anyone.

    It’s what he does off the ball that is the main part of his game. And he has still got an eye for a killer pass, a decent header and works his bollocks off.

    Bit like Sterling without the killer pass and header bit...

    Nah drop him and put Rashford on. He scored that goal against Costa Rica so he must be better.

    Joint fourth leading goalscorer for France... joined with.....Zidane

    He must do something.....
  • Neither team seems able to get the job done thus far. England might have a chance.

    Saw him quite a few times at Arsenal too ( wash my mouth out with soap ) and the bloke is still hungry even when he was resigned to coming on as a sub late in his career.
