France looking seriously good. Can maybe see Modric just about pulling enough strings to match them if that's the final but England must be rooting for Belgium.
Don't forget Italy.France are the South Americans of Europe
Embarassing watching them fling themselves all over the pitch and crying
Even Spain weren't this bad
Happy days. Those Frenchies are playing lovely football, hopefully the occasion doesn't get to them on Sunday like they did two years ago.
No extra time for them yet either.
Tigs, apart from singing (and typing) three Lions when I'm wankered I'm just not on your side here. Currently revising the lyrics to Les Marseillais to make sure I don't do it again!What do you mean hopefully?

Some say that when you are drunk that is your real side soooo.......
When it's not dangerous, violent or the use of PED's I don't really mind cheating. Like the ref could easily put a stop to it by throwing out yellows but he didn't so why stop? If I was a pro player I'd take a world cup at the price of a few people questioning your sportsmanship or dignity for a short period of time without question.Don't understand how anyone can support this French side.
Even that new wonderkid was flopping like a fish
Just as well Mbappé didn't add insult to injury by scoring another one - on top of the teamload of Belgian flops like Dembele, Fellaini, Lukaku, De Broyne etc.Don't understand how anyone can support this French side.

I actually thought that De Bruyne did very well last night. He ran that game, his team constantly passed to him to either make a run or pass. But France defended very well, Belgium didn't get lucky on the crosses. He was the best player on the park last night. France scored a goal and defended it but Belgium controlled the game.Just as well Mbappé didn't add insult to injury by scoring another one - on top of the teamload of Belgian flops like Dembele, Fellaini, Lukaku, De Broyne etc.
I don't agree with that, France were far better and deserving of their lead, they then gave Belgium the ball and made them rely on half chances. Had Belgium pulled off something spectacular they'd have got an equaliser but Varane and Umtiti bossed the box so they had to rely on beating Lloris from long range. Hard to look past Varane as motm imo.I actually thought that De Bruyne did very well last night. He ran that game, his team constantly passed to him to either make a run or pass.

Belgium had a considerable advantage in terms of possession before the goal. France's plan was never to challenge that. Their game plan (see all games) is to defend, counter and free kicks.they then gave Belgium the ball and made them rely on half chances.
De Bruyne has been poor in the tournament. A shadow of what he does for City. But this is international football. He couldn't step up.I actually thought that De Bruyne did very well last night.
