World Cup - Semi Final 1 - France v Belgium

[Hyena]

Merten's crossing is Robertson-esque

 

[keniget]

This has been a crap game. Belgium have been poor

 

[RedStar]

Girpud was very lucky, that was a clear foul on Hazard in a a very dangerous position. He should have had a card for that

 

[tomasjj]

Hazard is going for it now.

 

[Athens]

This has been a crap game. Belgium have been poor

No where near the excitement level a semi final deserves.

 

[RedStar]

This has been a crap game. Belgium have been poor

Belgium look like the sort of team that trusts their talent and doesnt change much tactically from one game to the next. France have done a great job of nullifying them in attack which is an achievment when you see how many goals theyve scored in this competition.

This has been a crap game. Belgium have been poor

It has been a great game. Belgium started particularly strongly, but have definitely not been as good in the 2nd period.

 

[Markeh]

I thought the goal was gonna improve it, the wrong team scored for that

 

[doctor_mac]

I thought the goal was gonna improve it, the wrong team scored for that

Yup.

 

[Flipo]

Both teams are very conservative to shoot on target.

 

[6TimesaRed]

Lukaku just gets in the way..

 

[Markeh]

Still hope something happens, that wasn't a goal worthy of winning a semi final

 

[Athens]

What I want to know is, are there many Kevins in Belgium?

 

[RedStar]

What a fucking pass from DeBruyne, Xabi-esque

 

[Flipo]

Lukaku just gets in the way..

But he failed.

 

[Markeh]

Chadli is a sore thumb in that team, he has been shite

 

[Flipo]

6-minute extra time.

 

[Red Bird]

But he failed.

Been a regular feature of his in this match.

 

[6TimesaRed]

Lukaku running into the box for the ball

 

[Markeh]

France have successfully wasted so much of this added on time

 

[Red Astaire]

There's a whiff of cuntishness about France but I guess that's what you need to progress.

 

[RedStar]

Great save Curtois

 

[Flipo]

Final result
France 1 : Belgium 0
Congratulations Team France.

 

[Markeh]

France totally deserved it

Hope the lose to England in the final

 

[6TimesaRed]

Jinx.. Hopefully this reverse jinxes it..

France totally deserved it

Hope the lose to [emoji1082] in the final

 

[Red Bird]

Bye bye Belgium.

 

[Markeh]

Either would do

 

[Markeh]

On the plus side we get Ming home a bit earlier!

 

[King Emlyn]

Very disciplined from France, will be incredibly difficult to beat them if we get there

 

[Red Bird]

Ferdinand trying to tell us Pogba finally arrived. I hope the hype lives on.
