No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

near wonder pass from kdb

Mbappe needs a yellow

I feel bittersweet about the prospect of this very good Belgium run coming to an end, but perhaps it can bring us all the closure of the fruitless search for a good Fellaini's Brother joke being called off after eight agonising days

Sharp intake of breath there. Fellaini coming off has freed up Pogba

The 1st half was better than the 2nd. Belgium did v little once France put the goal in.

Lots of french cunts all clowned up in the cafeteria at work chanting their little chant

mieux sterling que kdb/hazard

so long, Marouanne

Yeah it fizzled a bit in the end but France played to their plan and deserved it

can't see France chucking it away on Sunday

should never have pulled de bruyne back into that deeper lying midfield position, they did fuckall once the change was made

Though Pogba was superb today, if only we could get that every week for United

Theresa may vs Emmanuel macron

varane thoroughbred, best type of dc

I suppose anything is possible but I cannot see this French side losing to England. Surely to goodness.

would love to see a supercut of Giroud's misses this tournament

Pogba's probably been France's best player overall. Every bit as disciplined as Kante, while still adding an attacking threat

Kante gives him the security to do that but yeah for all the joy of Mbappe in flight this team is built on a solid core

I wonder if the England reserves are psyched to have another chance to beat the Belgium reserves?

matuidi motm, pogba varane mbappe v impressive today

The performances of Pogba, Lukaku, even Lingard in this tournament pretty much demand that Mourinho is sacked on the spot.

And seriously France did an incredible job of keeping Lukaku out of the game tonight.

Lingard had the best season of his career this year in fairness

and Lukaku's all-round game has massively improved since he came to Utd

should still be sacked obv

mahrez to city announced

jose out

was Seri to Fulham mentioned? Bit of a coup

The bench's Riyad Mahrez?

varane/kane would be tasty

pipe down there in the back

lol Tim

would give mbappe a red for godawfull stalling those last ten minutes. am I missing some context? why was that tolerated?

didn't he get a yellow?

he got a yellow. You're not going to get a red for something like that

makes sense. still disappointing. tainted a deserved victory.

I'd make some allowances for him being 19

it was a stupid yellow to get tbh but nothing out of the ordinary

Vertonghen foul minutes later was significantly more stupid in context

OTM, he lost the rag because Mbappe was doing a bit of harmless showboating.

bouncebackability!

Pleased to see the summer break has done Loris Karius the world of good. #LFC pic.twitter.com/Pe6XLHrkqb

watching everyone gun for karius is unedifying

he's definitely hurtled right past farce and back to tragedy

verts yellow also stupid

both stupid

Bit disappointed we're just going to have the one World Cup winner in our squad next season.

poch will have the pressure on levy i fully expect varane and mbappe to rock up before august

lol

idk, few things grate as much as a player not passing the ball to the other team for a corner kick and such

It blows my mind that not only wasn't Mbappe alive when France won the WC... he also wasn't alive when Hanson hit with "MMMBop"

MMMFlop

Tomorrow the three lions roar lads

sentimentality leads me to cheer for CRO

the prospect of losing to france in the final is not filling me with much excitement tbh, third place play off against belgium might be more fun
