Thought the Brazil v Belgium game was a classic. Think the France v Uraguay game, it was Rammel compared that last 90 mins

France are crusing in 3rd gear, managing their tournament very well, expending the least energy and emotion to progress thus far. Semi v Belguim is too close to call though - See who wins the midfield battle, France slight favourites I think.

As chuffed as I was to see Belgium go through, I thought they were looking very tired towards the end.

They did spend the last half hour workng there backsides off.
France didn’t look as good today as previous performances.
Going to be a very close semi final going to extra time and maybe pens imo.
 
I’m just happy that Neymar doesn’t get to win the thing. I cannot stand the loathesome little diving chop.

Brazil used to be a team everyone respected and likes because of the way they played the game but he has turned a lot of people off them

There has been a lot written about Jesus not playing well, but I said in the first game it looked like Brazil were playing with the intention of making Neymar look good. The first game Brazil were knocking all over at times and it was a joy to watch, but when the ball got to Neymar the game slowed down and it was as if he had to beat a man.
Be interesting how Neymar is now viewed in Brazil.
 
I am very happy that Ronaldo, Messy and Neymar are out. It’s going to be a team winning it, not a player.


A work mate of mine commented on Maradonna that he was so dangerous because he didn’t go down, doing everything possible to stay on his feet. Stars today have changed.
(yes, he still cheated and handled a ball)
 
Neymar's actions are working against him, he could have a genuine penalty but due to his play acting the ref's will now give the defender the benefit of the doubt.

Same used to happen in the EPL a few years to that former Liverpool forward [Suarez?]
 
Sterling will score today 👍🏻

Betting looks about 6-1 odds for Sterlng to score, Kane by comparison is less then 2 -1. Whole team has 1 penalty goal only in last 2 games and you're playing Sweden who dont concede much, 3 clean sheets out of 4 games so far, only losing 2 goals to the Germans. Italy could't score in 2 playoff matches against them either.

Going to be very hard today, hope you're ready for that but still think England will win but Sterling scoring? Nah.
