They look cracking, holding play is superb which is allowing attackingplayers to bomb on. Belgium look the real deal tonight.

Best team in the competition for me.

Agreed. Fellaini (don't like him) is allowing front 3 to run havoc. Await a huge dramatic tearfest from Neymar at final whistle(plus a few dives along the way). Only Marcelo has created imo.

Yes them and France. At least we can only face one of them in the final

Hopefully Belgium hold on to this and we can be at the end of the Neymar cheat/wank fest.

I would agree with all of that H. I too don’t like fellaini but think he is having a v good game here. Marcelo the best Brazilian player going forward but always a little naive defensively.

If the ref is waving like that at Neymar, why on earth isnt he booking him?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

May give this pen! Will make it a game!

 

[Covstu]

He’s a great player why does he need to cheat

 

[Nick]

He dived before Kompany had slid in.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Kompany certainly caught him but was ball out? I think that a pen. But not given.

How’s that not a pen!?

Because he can get away with it.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Was a foul, regardless of where ball went. Pen for me (and I'd chosen a draw on SBT !)

Come on that was a clear clear penalty what’s the point of a review system if that wasn’t given

Wasn’t even sent for the ref to check, no idea what the process is, farce!

I'd agree. Stupid to dive in as the player was going nowhere, but still a penalty.

Brazil all over Belgium atm. Needed that shot on the break to go in to seal it!

Is he? Based on what he's done so far in this WC I'd say he's the most overrated player in the competition.

On a par with Japan's 1st half performance vs Belgium.

Agree on the hype but no doubt he has talent but ruined by his antics

Thing is the refs aren’t playing anymore

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

If we manage to get to final, best hope is Designed Breuyne, Hazard, Mbappe etc are all crocked,!

Couldn’t call France v Belgium!

7-1 defo on now!

It's because the media big him up so much. He hasn't done anything in this competition at all.

Watch all of the pundits and media put disclaimers in when they say anything about his behaviour. "He is an amazing player so doesnt need to", "he is brilliant so doesnt need to".

A tunisian player has better assists / goals in the World Cup but haven't heard him mentioned?

He's not even the best player in the Brazil team. I'd take Coutinho over him every time.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Been sitting back asking for it. They could lose this if not careful. Need a third goal.

Belgium were awful in that match though weren't they. They had a real off day, but still won through in the end.

Exactly.

 

[xcraigx]

Brazil looking very ordinary in the attacking third. For all their possession they have not really worked Courtois.

They've been awful this half, too.

I don't think Belgium were great, however I feel Japan made em look shite, they were that good!

 

[Deleted member 5849]

They can't give that, surely. Why even check it?!?
