Ref seems to have got a good handle on this game after the first few mins.
And as I type that... !! 😀
No a bad first effort at goal! 🙂
offt some save!
Well I don't see Uruguay coming back from that, time for the goalies to start catching the ball
anyone have 68mins before it all kicked off?
Horrific keeping for goal 2. France the better side without argument
Arrgghhh ... France won ... dammit, completely spoiled my forecast.
I now hope Belgium will beat Brazil ...
🙁
p/s: my forecast ...
Next round quarter-final stage:
Uruguay will beat France by 2 goals. (France won 2 nil instead)
Belgium will beat Brazil by 1 goal.
Croatia will beat Russia by 2 goals.
England will be Sweden by 1 or 2 goals.
Next next round semi-final stage:
Uruguay will beat Belgium by 2 goals. (arrghhh ... now replaced by France)
Croatia will beat England by 2 goals.
Ready for the main event?
I think this is my most anticipated game since the Spain vs Portugal encounter, hope it proves to also be a cracker.
Hopefully my forecast is right for the rest coz me mates are going to kill me for losing bets for them ... 😀
Settled in, fridge is stocked hopefully this will be a good entertaining game as I hope 3-5pm tomorrow is a snoozefest
Slotted in Lukaku, Hazard and Courtinio to my FF team for this one,
Well I really enjoyed listening to the Fra-Uru game on R5L, I think thier commentary has been really insightful and interesting so far.
Bit miffed at France winning by 1 more goal than my prediction, how rude.
Onto Bra-Bel then... we’ll im hopeful Belgium will go through, 1-0 and the goal comes in the second half. I shall be watching on the tv though, so torn whether to put the radio on for the commentary..
Yep, but can't support a team that contains that stunt man Neymar.

Apparently you can do it via the red button to be synced properly
anyone want to chuck a fiver on this ending 0-0 😉 there be goals in this one
Goooaalll ... Belgium 1 - 0 Brazil.
😀
That's not going to be the last goal tonight.
It’s all a bit cagey this, isn’t it?
Like a game of chess 😳
I’m going For 5 - 4, but god knows who too
5-4 on goals scored or in the right net?
That’s not going to be the last goal tonight.
As long as Belgium wins by 1 goal that should be good enough.
At this point if I was France I'd be cheering for Brazil, Belgium have turned up and De Bruyne is reacting perfectly to getting the news I dropped him from my FF team, the Ginger kid has got the hang of the heat
You were bang on Mike. That and my bet on them to win has sealed Brazil’s fate.
What a finish! Lukaku’s looking like he fancies it tonight too
Gooaaaal ... DeBruyne ...
Belgium 2 - 0 Brazil
Brazil ... " ... You shall not pass ..." (voice of Gandalf) LOL!
That's 2 goals for man city so far.
Well that was the best finish by a Belgium since Phillipe Albert made it 5-0

For all the talk of Belgium being a team of individuals it looks like they are a proper team now, coming back against Japan probably did them a lot of good there.
France are going to need to find the next gear for a semi if this carried on.
The Brazilians are getting shown up with all these cameras on them
The fat lady ain't singing yet (if the cameras find one in the crowd) - Brazil need to get one back before half time.
Hazard is superb so far, using his bum à la Dalglish.
Is Jurgen in there just for t he diving teams?
Hazard, De Bruyne and Lakaku all look absolutely awesome! Hair’n’elbows is having a great game sat behind them too.
This looks like the tournament winnning squad to me
As much as I hope Belgium win, I hope Brazil get a goal soon to keep the pace of the game up.
Don’t know the big black Belgian players name but blimey, he’s been everywhere that Brazil haven’t been.
Awesome effort that man.
Much better from Brazil, I'm not sure why they didn't start with Firmino maybe he was still doing his teeth.
Naymar needs to go into the book though
Good refereeing.
Brazilian diving skills are rather good. 😀
That was a pen though,
Surely that was a penalty?
That's a genuine penalty that Neymar's theatrics has cost them. It will take a lot to convince this ref that they aren't just chucking themselves over the nearest leg.
It’s getting scrappy, but I like the refs decisions so far. That Naymar bloke should be up for an Oscar, then refuted whilst on stage.
You lot must think the sun shines out of his bottom, me I think he should be sent off.
. It will take a lot to convince this ref that they aren’t just chucking themselves over the nearest leg.
+1
It's cost them as every time they are thinking dive and exaggeration,
and perfect timing there!! Game on
Whaaatttt ... Brazil scored ...
Belgium 2 -1 Brazil ... hhhmmm my forecast is still on ... 😀
Game on!
hhhmmm my forecast is still on
A stopped clock is right twice a day
Brazil look like they're going to score again
How long can Belgium hold on... Exciting stuff
Is this a time out?
