Day 25: France vs. Belgium SF

[Rado_N]

His eyes when he rolled over just after the contact... I mean, how do you not stop the game after that?

It's something that doesn't get anywhere near enough focus in the game.

 

[ShoePolish]

I suppose this result means Kane has all but won the golden boot. Chances of Griezmann or Mbappe catching him are minimal, Lukaku was the only serious competition.

Erm, Belgium still have a game to play too, you know.

 

[Aboutreika18]

Vertonghen is such a shithouse.

 

[Offside]

Belgium absolutely brainless in chasing this game.

 

[Greck]

Mbappe taking unlikeability lessons from Neymar

 

[PoTMS]

How stupid do you have to be to do that?

 

[Stadjer]

Thats just stupid from Vertonghen.. why would you do that when chasing a goal?

 

[Traub]

Is it just me or starting with Chadli, Fellaini, Dembele and Witsel in midfield is not a good idea.

Hindsight, their front three of KdB, Lukaku and Hazard have been absolute dogshite.

 

[Slevs]

Disappointing end to this semifinal if it stays at 1-0.

Why? It's been a high quality game, who cares about the score.

 

[Prodigy24]

Mbappe is brilliant but such an annoying cnut at times.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Vertonghen is such a shithouse.

Stupid thing to do.

 

[Liver_bird]

distinct lack of VAR in the knockout stages

 

[K2K]

I suppose this result means Kane has all but won the golden boot. Chances of Griezmann or Mbappe catching him are minimal, Lukaku was the only serious competition.

Lukaku still has another game.

 

[kouroux]

I cannot breath

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Varane has been immense.

 

[Kapardin]

Mbappe flopping like a fish. Just how much of Neymar has rubbed off on him.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Mbappe is brilliant but such an annoying cnut at times.

Very talented players usually are.

 

[Irrational.]

Belgium can be proud of themselves - they don't deserve to lose but someone has to. And beating Brazil on the way is no mean feat.

They will come again.

 

[bosnian_red]

Belgium going out with a whimper here. Done nothing but crosses that were dealt with easily

 

[Revan]

Vertonghen you idiot!

 

[fellaini's barber]

Belgium would have scored if they started Mertens ahead of Chadli

 

[Traub]

I think what this World Cup teached us is that Kevin de Bruyne isn't the best player of all times like many here thought after one excellent season in the EPL.

Same as the champions league vs Liverpool really

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Varane is a top defender, France really are blessed world class defenders right now.

Belgium look a bit knackered, bet they regret beating England!

 

[kouroux]

Varane is the best CB of the WC

 

[Massive Spanner]

Varane MotM for me.

 

[Rado_N]

France should have put this to bed by now

 

[Silas]

Pogba should have two assists.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Thought that was the 2nd.

 

[Dobba]

Pogba again. He should have a dozen assists in this tournament.

 

[Ban]

France doesn't fascinate me but they're strong and in the final probably.

 

[Aboutreika18]

Courtois' had a great tournament.

 

[Kapardin]

Lukaku still has another game.

Erm, Belgium still have a game to play too, you know.

Oops, forgot the 3rd place trophy. Sorry.

 

[peridigm]

Mbappe is brilliant but such an annoying cnut at times.

He did spend the last year with Neymar.

 

[Sandyman]

Brilliant save Courtios

 

[TsuWave]

Pogba has been amazing

 

[GhastlyHun]

Why? It's been a high quality game, who cares about the score.

The quality has declined a lot since the 1-0, Belgium's failure to get back into the game is testamtent to that.

 

[kouroux]

Pogba is unreal. They never show his passes though

 

[fellaini's barber]

There's been some amazing saves this world cup

 

[pjaya]

Damn twice Pogba provides nice pass and twice French fluff it

 

[redshaw]

6 mins is quite generous. One goal, no VAR and can't think of many injuries or one that took a lot of time.

 

[FootballHQ]

France team just look ready to win now, no frills team and have that great quality in final third.

Guess they could choke another final but they've been building this team since 2014 so clear favourites for me especially as they've also beaten good teams in knock out round so have that battle hardened quality.
