Belgium just need to intentionally score a hat trick of own goals, get second in the group and ensure the "easier" route

Hey I ain't a fan of this kinda chickenshit behaviour either…. Pretty predictable though...

[manufc10]

I was kinda being serious  ;)…I really like this Belgium side I want to see them go far.  No offense to the English

@Seul:

But hey: now you can support the Belgian team, right…  ???  ....

Today it was a test someone said…...Passed!

@AdamJ:

Amen to that, both of the UK channels doing the WC coverage (iTV and BBC) seem obsessed with giving him camera time, I can't stand the bloke!

To make it even worse: Maradona gets 10.000 GBP from the FIFA for every match he visits at this WC ???. For playing the ambassador of his nation's team and flipping the opponents off.

What a highly entertaining game France v. Argentina just has been. The World Cup as one would like it to be! Much in contrast to the lame excuse for a game we've seen in the disappointing England v. Belgium game. Mbappé alone was worth the price of admission.

Some added private fun was provided by my dear old mum, who's zero interested in football, but kept ranting about what a shame the German team has been, how they have embarrassed themselves to the bare bones ("bis auf die Knochen blamiert"), and how both France and Argentina provided an example how the game ought to be played.

Felicitations pour la France!

Yep…great game.  Aguerro or Higuain should have started.from the get go but moot point now.  This has been a fantastic world cup so far. Lets what Ronaldo can do vs Uruguay.

[manufc10]

Should we place bets on who Suarez will bite today?

[Seul]

The dust.

[Dion]

If they hurry they can share the flight back with Messi.

Fekk all so far and lets hope it stays that way. Looking forward to seeing him ugly cry when they go out, the big baby.

Down goes Portugal…

Gutted to see Suarez happy.  Ahh well.

Anyone else have a hard time not thinking of Alan Partridge when watching the ITV pundit crew?  I sent this pic to Private Eye years ago, but they didn't take any notice 

[manufc10]

I was pulling for Uruguay over Portugal in this for reasons I can't really explain.  The end did get nervy but they held on.  Again…really enjoying this world cup.

Now if Mexico can beat Brazil tomorrow I'll be a happy man.

Watched the 2 games today. Fantastic! Really impressive collective perfomance from “Les Tricolores” and Uruguay! Mbappé, only 19 years old and Cavani delivered an enorme individual perfomance! Very brilliants games today!

Absolutley, Mbappe has a ridiculously bright future ahead of him…obviously.  I feel like Pogba will do a lot of maturing at this world cup as well, I can already see it in his play.

[hajduk]

The “quarterback pass” from Pogba to Mbappé who provocate the penalty is really something! Alla Roethlisberger style!

I think it's a bummer that we won't see Argentina vs. Portugal. It would've been so great to see two of the best of all time meet at the biggest football tournament. I guess it was the last chance and we'll never see it happen :(.

[manufc10]

Doesn't bother me at all.  Neither team was that great, especially Argentina.
