France v Belgium

[Belgianclaret]

No disrespect, but Martinez won the tactical battle against Brazil, he lost this one.
We adapted our team to a lesser opponent instead of playing to our own strengths. Dembele had a bad game and should have been brought off at half time. Still, after the goal we didn't create enough...
Shame, on the other hand the chances are increasing for football to really come home

Totally agree with this way OTT. For instance the back heel into Giroud was outstanding but the tackle on Giroud by Dembele after the back heel was sensational, Nobodies mentioned it on commentary or on the panel.

The mbappe love in p!ssed me off....as did the diagrams of player movement with lines and circles absolute tosh... The ex player pundits are trying to blind us with imaginary football science making it up as they go along..absolute baloney.

Tell McGuire to give Mbappe a good kick up the backside early on, the smug t*****

Yes the lad was letting it go to his head a bit.

For all De Bruyne’s greatness he doesn’t half give a lot of simple passes to the opposition. Also, is it just me that doesn’t see what the fuss is with Griezmann?

Still, two very good sides on display tonight and if England overcome a tough test tomorrow they’ll have a hell of a task on their hands beating the French.

Sorry but mbappe is amazing someone rashford should be looking at and thinking I could do that.

Mbappe looks special
Hazard was better than him tonight

[Top Claret]

France were excellent. Only watched them once before in this world Cup and I immediately tipped them to win it. Strong and well organised
