    As long as he continues his behaviour, Neymar will cost Brazil as many games as he wins them.

    Was Pickford for me against Colombia, shot came out of no where and dont even think his feet were properly set to deal with it

    Well deserved Belgium. Excellent counter attacking, Brazil and Neymar massively overrated.

    And the irony of it is, if Neyma weren't such a fuckin cheat, he might've got 1 or even 2 pens in that game. Tala

    Glad the South American teams are all out. All divers and cheaters. Hope they learn from this World Cup and VAR and change the way they go about things.

    Brazil 27 shots, Belgium 9 shots.

    Wasteful Brazil.

    Excellent from Belgium. Did a job, played well and had the luck.

    Excellent.
    Goodbye to the plastic fans’ favourite team.
    Goodbye to the biggest diver of the lot.
    Goodbye to the last of the dirty cheating South American Teams.
    All European Semifinals guaranteed.
    Just need an England win and these will be the perfect quarter finals.

    Brazil looked a lot better with their 3 subs on, not sure they had their starting team right

    Tweet above is right about that Kompany tackle. There was contact before the ball went out.

    Thought it was the angle from behind looking deceiving but he does get a touch on Jesus' leg just before the later contact that had happened after the ball went out of play.

    Brazil had enough chances only got themselves to blame. Great defensive display by the Belgians who if they hadn't squandered possession on the break could have made it more comfortable. The right result for England.

  • If England get through tomorrow then Spurs are fucked for the first few weeks of the season.

    Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Dembele, Kane, Trippier, Rose, Dier and Alli will all likely have had no pre season. Got to be given at least 3-4 weeks holiday after this world cup. Plus Son will be away at the Asian games.

    Minimal contact.......So it's a penalty then. The foul started eith the minimal contact whilst the ball was in play and the contact continued. Definite pen. Not that I'm complaining, they got the decision they deserved.

    Not a problem for Arsenal though!
