tunisia seem to be playing further up the field this game, obv to mixed results so far. but looks like they decided they need to win this one.

Martinez is still picking Boyata so I don't blame them for their optimism.

Lukaku showing shocking lack of respect to tunisia by not trying to blag a penalty there

Rooney-esque first touch from Rom just now.

Appearing effervescently like a young Mick Channon.

Engrossing stuff from the BBC live reporting page:
It took Terry Butcher 35 minutes to buy washing powder, milk and biscuits yesterday. He was wondering about which washing powder to buy and asked a Russia lady, who wasn't interested.

Golden Boot incoming.

Maybe Lukaku could sit out the Eng game. Needs rest.

is that zabaleta enchanting my wife on bbc, like a healthy mark strong

Belgium performing as well as any team in the tournament so far?

Zabaleta seems like a lovely chap but he's not very interesting.

Well, yeah, but against Panama and Tunisia, so who knows how good they really are? That said, I'm definitely rooting for another big win for Belgium in their last game ;)
― Frederik B, Saturday, 23 June 2018 12:57 (five years ago) link
As far as punditry's concerned I'll take lovely over "interesting".
Rom's performances when not managed by Mou are a stonewall indictment of Mou.

Fred fair comment on all counts

Halfway through laughing Drogba suddenly noticed the implication that Lukaku might be better than him and tried not to look too pissed off.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 23 June 2018 13:05 (five years ago) link
Lol same old Lampard

"Free from Desire", sweet
― Kostic negotiator (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 23 June 2018 13:13 (five years ago) link
Has anything been written about the weird afterlife of Freed From Desire? It disappeared for about fifteen years and is now ubiquitous. I'm sure a back three of Walker, John Stones and Harry Maguire will keep this lot out.

If Southgate doesn't play Dier in the third game he can fuck off.

Thanks for the IRL lols

Batshuayi could've had a hat-trick in five minutes.
― nashwan, Saturday, 23 June 2018 13:44 (five years ago) link
Play would have restarted with Tunisia in possession in the centre circle after the first goal

This will give England confidence that they could score a consolation goal against Belgium
― Kostic negotiator (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 23 June 2018 13:55 (five years ago) link
Incidentally how many of these dicks were playing down Tunisia when England were struggling to beat them?
― Kostic negotiator (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 23 June 2018 13:57 (five years ago) link
England Belgium likely to be a non event tho.
In fact, if Germany finish second both teams might try to lose
― groovypanda, Saturday, 23 June 2018 14:03 (five years ago) link
Part of me would rather see England have to deal with Brazil or Germany in their current states than fuck up against Switzerland or Mexico in the QF should they get that far. Lots of permutations still though.
― nashwan, Saturday, 23 June 2018 14:11 (five years ago) link
Let's see how Germany get on tonight first. Not prepared to write them off completely after just one game
― groovypanda, Saturday, 23 June 2018 14:18 (five years ago) link
mexico and germany should breeze these games
