    France score from a free kick

    Brazil should have had 2 from corners!

    And instead Belgium score from a corner. It's as if teams have forgotten how to defend set pieces, with the modern emphasis on picking "footballing" defenders

    Watching the BBC, just struck me how much Danny Murphy sounds like Ron Atkinson

    Brazil are having most of the possession but Belgium have the quality.

    I fancy Belgium for this. Not convinced Brazil can break top sides down.

    I do like this Belgium team, shame two of their population are total twats.

    Brazil created plenty of chances, as much as Belgium have. One gone in off a defender's shoulder and the other a pearler from KDB.

    Belgium are set up so well for the counter attack.

    But on this basis, England are better than Brazil

    I think they've deliberately given up possession. Plan is to sit deeper so that Brazil can't get in behind, and hit them on the counter by leaving Lukaku, Hazard and another, usually De Bruyne, up top. It's working.

    I think England vs Belgium would’ve been a great game had we not both wanted to lose

    It could well happen again in the final at this rate.

    literally just about to post that exact thing. Think with all the Mbappe talk lately people had forgotten about De Bruyne...
