[Pelotas]

Belgium lucky to get ahead but when they are, they're soo dangerous on the counter.

Totally agree. I really can't find a reason to dislike them.

For a smallish country they’ve got some great talent. We’ve been expecting this team to deliver for a while so maybe this is their time

 

(plus I’ve got a couple of mates who are Belgian and they’re good guys so I’d be pleased for them too)

[Bobby Hundreds]

They won’t get this space against France. Kante’s World Cup.

I think we’re watching the world champs here aren’t we? And I don’t mean the team in yellow

Think they'll win it now, they just look like they've got every component together in order to be a successful tournament team.

Some may not agree,  but reckon this is one of the best World Cups in recent times.

France vs Belgium sounds a lot better than Sweden vs Russia     Russia vs France final?

Jose Mourinho said Kevin De Bruyne wouldn't make it as a top class player, let that sink in.

Huge 45 minutes for Brazil.

Agreed Muzz, they've actually underperformed for a few years, I really wouldn't grudge them if it was their time. Of course I want us to win it but if this team plays to their potential, only Brazil or France can stop them and Brazil aren't making a good attempt at it.

 Mourinho talks a lot of sh1t sunk in a long time ago Matt ...

A lot of people seem to dislike Martinez. Maybe he has 'got lucky' with this squad of players but he seems perfectly likeable bloke to me.

[Izzy]

KDB is fvcking outstanding. What a player

Belgium trying to emulate Leicester 2015-16 with their counter attacks

Man City learned from us, why not Belgium?

Brazil could have been 2-0 up in the first 10 minutes if their finishing was more clinical

Sign of a great player when you just use their initials ...       very similar to our very own midfield superstar. APK ...    

[Max Wall]

Marcelo really is a decent player. Always something happening when he's  on the ball.

He always comes across as honest and genuine to me. I’m sure he’s not the best coach in the world but I’ve got no reason to begrudge him success. Good luck to him.

 

P.S. Neymar can fvck off for that dive. Pathetic 

[TheUltimateWinner]

Neymar you cheating git

[Tuna]

Why didn't he book him?

[foxfanazer]

Diving rat. Gone right off him as a player

[PhillippaT]

lol@Neymar

[TheUltimateWinner]

Refs need to punish this more as it's going to just continue to happen

[Sir Shep]

Gotta agree, Naydick needs to be booked. 

[Guest seanfox778]

Neymar you’re a joke, man!
