KDB is fvcking outstanding. What a player 

 

If they’d just throw him in, I’m sure we could finally get the Mahrez deal over the line.

hahaha Neymar see ya

Needs to have a look at himself and grow up a bit.

He's been an embarrassment to himself over the last few weeks, especially, and its players like him that ruin the integrity of the game.

It isn’t. Belgium’s entire political system isn’t designed to work. Two halves of its population can’t communicate with eachother and there’s is no shared culture. You’ve just seen the Belgium media interview the national team manager in English because if the interview was in either of the national languages half of Belgium wouldn’t understand it.

Probably because Martinez doesn't speak Flemish!!

Or French. Half the players can. The team communicates in English.

Courtois comes across as a right arrogant ****.

All the cheats are out... 

We’ve only got 5 matches left and hopefully we can just enjoy the football now and that’s it for all the antics and play acting. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

You just know that Pickford comment will come back and bite Courtois on the arse.

Glad he took the opportunity to apologise to Pickford though

First time ever there's not been Germany, Argentina or Brazil in the semi-finals of a World Cup.

 

You just heard Lineker say that !! .....    oh, hang on ...

[MrsJohnMurphy]

Give me De Bruyne over Neymar any day!!

Don't think he actually apologised. He just said he would never mock another keeper's height. Still gave it the 'I would have saved it' line.

Eh? 

I didn't even know he did, switched over to Love Island after the match finished  

[MC Prussian]

I'm glad Brazil are out because I can't stand watching Neymar any longer, team would be better without him.

 

But Belgium rode their luck big time in the second half. Sitting back for most part almost cost them dearly.

Lukaku and De Bruyne a serious disappointment as the game came nearer to its end.

 

All-European final it is, then!

Big chance for England and Belgium to play each other now. 

 

With so many spurs players that's the 3rd/4th place playoff taken care of!

Well you know the excuse for Spurs if they start poorly next season!

 

Congrats to Belgium - excellent 1st half then defended well with some luck as you always need in such games.

 

Hope they beat the French was haven't been that great really save for a spell against Argentina. 

 

 

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Shame Neymar with all that talent couldn’t be arsed to stay on his feet for long enough to try and actually win games 

 

shame really as that could of been a half decent Brazil side instead of the pathetic shadow of a team

[Strokes]

Only England and France left to ensure no new nation is crowned.

At the start of qualifying I wonder what odds you would have got on none of Italy, Germany, Spain, Argentina and Brazil making the semifinals? 5000-1 maybe?

It would be ironic if England and Belgium meet in the final given that lot of players in combined teams came from PL who is only league that do not have a winter break!  Does it means that all previous complaints about PL not having a winter break is bit less valid and that the recent agreement for a winter break is not necessary?

No.

It would only mean that if it became the rule rather than the exception.

I'm quite glad to see the back of Neymar. Belgium V France will be very interesting. I think Belgium have enough to beat them. Uruguay were disappointingly poor today and France weren't that convincing.
