Day 25: France vs. Belgium SF
- Thread starter oneniltothearsenal
- Start date
Lol.
On paper, it looks very odd, I'll be interested to see how it comes together on the pitch. Lineups can sometimes be deceiving so I will wait until we get a decent idea of how Martinez wants them to setup before I start to judge. I agree it's a massive risk to start experimenting in a game of this magnitude, like I said it's a case of either he gets heralded as a genius, or slammed for taking huge risks when so much is on the line.
Bit dismissive. Can't see the final being a cake walk no matter what the match-up is. These sides are here on merit.
Have a feeling this will be a comfortable win for France.
This is gonna be great 
Belgium has impressed me with their mental strength. They came back from 2-0 down against what I think was the best teamwork side in the tournament in Japan then they defeated a talent stacked Brazil with most of the crowd for Brazil in a tense match.
For me, they have shown a great deal of maturity I didn't expect
He played Lukaku almost as a RW versus Brazil, and it worked. Let's see if Dembele is a good choice for this game.
Odious twat Macron in the crowd.
Giroud belting it out.
That Look by Felaini 
Better not to meet him when it's dark.

LOL my feed is lagged so I was waiting for it.That Look by Felaini
Aul Melon Head is psyched up.
I'm excited to hear Dr. Joe again.
Quite a common thing at WCs though?
46% of the semi finalists play in the PL.
tight game , going for France 2-1 after extra time.
Yeah it is, I just never like it.
If England win the World Cup May will be all over it, trying to get some of the glory.
Strange scenario want all the United players to do well on either side
Pogba lifting the cup or getting to final being instrumental would be nice

Fellaini is gonna be expected to cover de bruynes runs from the left
Well England have been quite the tribute to her strong and stable mantra.
Like Trump and Fox NewsThink it'll be a back four with Chadli at RB, which shouldn't be too threatening defensively as he'll be up against Matuidi and Lucas.
But if Deschamps switches Mbappe onto the left wing, Belgium could be in trouble.

Mbappe is a freak.
Almost perfect start by France!
Everyone should resign to really pay tribute to her.
Pogba Beating fella to the ball there. Looks like he’s up for it
Can't wait to see Lukaku in action these days. Hope the big guy has a good game today.
Ahh makes sense with the back 4
Where’s Muenier?
Danny Murphy. Ugh.
Have they been doing a KO count-down for all the games? It's the first time I've noticed it tonight.
Mbappe already having that Belgian left side for dinner
Lukaku now as striker, not RW.
Match of the year. I wish both could go to final.
Vertonghen is the perfect combination of footballing and defensive ability. Not even a natural left back at all but coping well
Premier League representing here. Over half of the starting 22 play in England.
