There were several really towering Belgian performances in that Brazil game, really papered over how much Martinez shat it in the last 30

Every so often it occurs to me that the World Cup Final could be a duel betweeen Roberto Martinez and Gareth Southgate and it's just the most wtf thing.

Fabian Delph went home for the Belgium game because his partner was giving birth; Andreas Granqvist played against England despite his partner giving birth
tbftts ENG-BEL was like a friendly, not a QF. I was quite taken by Granqvists defense of "I've already seen my partner giving birth to our first child so no need to see it this second time 'round"

Is having the final kick off at 4pm gmt- meaning it'll definitely be done and dusted by 7 at the latest- another instance of the kremlin's non-linear warfare

France 2-0. Also Giroud to get a shot on target, which he apparently hasn't managed yet in the entire tournament.

Belgium to go through, Mbappe and Lukaku to both score.

Dembele and Chadli as wingbacks? The Dembele thing might just work - stick the express train in to press and heavily disrupt play on the left and prevent the ball getting to Mbappe. Not sure it'll work with Chadli.Basically it'll either be inspired or a complete disaster.
