    Can't see us beating either, Belgium the best team, France have the 2 best players in Pogba and Mbappe.

    I think a tight game like this would suit us because we are dangerous from set pieces.

    Just the matter of Croatia first

    Passing of both teams is light years ahead of ours. I think it was a fascinating match.

    I only saw the second half, and whilst I enjoyed it as a contest, there was precious little quality on show. Belgium looked laboured, in my eyes, and France stood firm. Hardly a superb game

    I thought it was a decent game. Watched it in a Dutch run hotel in Southern France and the bar was split evenly between French and Belgian supporters and had a nice atmosphere. Seen a lot worse games the key difference was France scored but not a lot between them. If we can win tomorrow I think we will do it. If Belgium had Kane instead of an out of sorts Lukaku they would probably have won

    People are misinterpreting my post.

    I said it wasn't "a classic" as in it won't be a game that lives long in the memory, unless you're French.

    1-0 from a set piece when so many individual masters canceled each other out.

    Was that Lukaku up front for Belgium tonight, or was it Regis or Onibuje or Thiam ?. :eek:

    Lukaku looks unfit and overweight to me, and even worse he has that uninterested look about him a lot of the time.

    Looked like most of the players were a bag of nerves which is probably understandable as none of them have played in a World Cup final, I’d imagine England & Croatia will be pretty cagey as well.

    I really worry about us coming up against M’Bappe & Griezeman, not only the pace but the trickery & first touches they’ve got are scary, be a massive test of our formation when France are trying to drag players out of position.

    Feel sorry for De Bruyne, feel like he deserves more from this season than just a league title. The best player in the premier league for me by a distance. So close to getting a couple more brilliant assists tonight
