It’s Belgium vs the Long John Silver Impersonators.

England should be extremely proud. Beautiful futbol, great players, no words for Southgate. I think Eurocup 2020 is going to be amazing.

Congrats Belgium.

Belgium was always going to be better. Great match up between Djoko and Nadal as well.

Belgium played well and should really be in the final but were unlucky in the draw. Both the two teams need to swap over their front three to become the real deal, Belgium need a fit and healthy Kane instead of Lukaku, and England need Hazard and De Bruyne instead of Sterling and Alli. Both defences are pretty strong and GKs are excellent.

I think you're being very kind, England are a work in process and getting better, but still need some real quality and composure at the no 10 and central midfield positions. It really hurt us not to have Lallana, maybe Wilshere can develop in 2 years into this, or maybe even Harry Winks. Man, do we miss Gazza and Scholes.

100% agree with you there England’s lack so much creativity. I personally don’t think Wilshere will be there’s but hopefully the ox will be there at 2020.

Belgium vs France : The Final before the Final!!!

All I can say is France really lucked out on the goal scoring
set piece winning the game... Belgium looked so good
throughout this tournament...

France vs Croatia should be an interesting game...
If Croatia really wants it they need to drink a lot of
RED (BLUE) BULL tonight and in the Morning...
Then they may have a shance to beat France...

Of course! And Nadal and đoković will join them too, from the bench. Should be an awesome game!

Before today's game, other than Iran, England was the team with the least amount of chances created from free play (i.e. not corners etc.)

That's true, he was playing really well in the build up, I still think Lallana is the best feeder we have, like a budget De Bruyne.

I think France's biggest danger is themselves, and their mental calmness and toughness. Kante is great for this as is Varane, but Pogba and Mbappe and are more vulnerable, and might not perform under the intense pressure of a final, so that will be interesting to see, but I do expect France to win, and to win me my free steak dinner.

Can’t wait for the US- Ahem. OK, from someone that has exactly zero soccer knowledge, I was just about to say that Croatia looked pretty over-matched; then they scored the tieing goal!

Whichever your team you’re cheering for, best of luck!

The official FIFA World Cup 2018 thread

Hand ball looked pretty obvious and almost intentional.

My 2 cents: CRO is playing much better, they are loosing because their mistakes, not FRA playing better.

Great game so far!
