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

my kids screaming at Giroud: "TAKE HIM OFF!!!!!"

France is going to be hard to break down

france are very "vertical".

feel like they'll do england in the final if both make it

Hey Tracer, tell your kids he runs around a lot and creates space for his footballing team-mates

so is bel just reverting to "advance up the right," cross in for one of the big units?

nonsensical quotations there but w/e

they've advanced up the left a bit too

good game but will never tire of supporters in elaborate costumes looking glum

De Bruyne hasn't been good. Losing the ball a lot

De Bruyne has really lost it this half.

kdb shocking

belgian passing v sloppy 2nd half

just realized that my in-laws will watch the final and possibly the French victory at our place, oh god this WC is a fucking nightmare

Hazard's been mia for a while too

de Bruyne's had a pretty mixed tournament tbh

what I'm saying is, unleash Januzaj

How wasn't that a foul??

amazing

Ref's let a fair bit go I think

100% a foul

Remember VAR? It used to be a thing.

haha terrible decision

finally something on target

aw man....

gonna be 5 mins of stoppage now with this injury stoppage

Foul outside the box not VARable iirc

giroudle vagaries of VAR

VAR only available for obvious errors in goals, penalties, straight red cards and mistaken identity

Giroud leaves the field with his record intact

might be 6 minutes of stoppage

mistaken identity

and yet Fellaini's twin has been getting away with it all tournament!

please stop sending players with head injuries back out on the field before you've properly evaluated them

If the Belgians are annoyed with Matuidi, maybe stop knocking him over

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
