Come on you Brazzers (I think that's what you call a group of Brazilians, maybe they have a website I can check)
A lot of the Belgium players look dead on their feet. I bet they don’t fancy extra time?
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">Don’t know the big black Belgian players name but blimey, he’s been everywhere that Brazil haven’t been.</span>
this post made me chuckle...perhaps not the most pc description ever* but 100% accurate ! yeah hes been immense. Reminds me of emile heskey, but with a bit of talent. As the pundits said, he looks like when you played school football and there was a lad who had reached puberty about 3 years earlier than everyone else!
* thats not a dig btw!! I found it funny because some folks would have spent a paragraph trying to avoid using such a succinct and obvious description!
Tick tock tick tock ... Belgium will hang on to their 1 goal lead ... 😀
Diving boy is trying to pull a quick last minute penalty ... 😀
I do hope Neymar sticks with PSG as this will be the last of his antics we see for another 4 years
That's a penalty. Fingers in the eye.
That’s a penalty.
What you been smoking there?
Shame to see Brazil go out.
Belgium 2 - 1 Brazil
Brazil is OUT of the the World Cup ... wohooo!
Awesome, Brazil out.
The historionics do not pay.
Belgium have a real chance now.
normally I love watching Brazil, but this team deserved to go out I reckon
Want to see it again. But reckon it was. Hand in the face doesn't take much at all.
The right result, Belgium had the skill, flare, passion, physicality and temperament to deal with all that. They went so hard at them they were dead on their feet, what a game it could have been in Brazil had spent more time on their feet.
That’s was one of the best games I’ve ever watched - who’s betting against Belgium now?
Cracking game, fairplay to Brazil despite the histrionics, they put Belgium under constant pressure in the second half.
Well deserved Belgium victory ...
But will Terry Henry really want this team to beat France ..?
Lukaku, that’s the bloke.
Can’t deny he wasn’t simply effective and challenged pretty much everything out there.
Was that Thiery Henri in the bench?
So 6 European sides left.

strike/forwards coach
If the eventual winners come from this side of the draw, god they will have earned it.
Good on ya Belgium. Glad to see the cheating shite Neymar going home.
My forecast for next rounds:
Quarter-final stage:
Uruguay will beat France by 2 goals. (France won 2 nil instead)
Belgium will beat Brazil by 1 goal. (Spot on!)
Croatia will beat Russia by 1 or 2 goals max.
England will beat Sweden by 1 goal. (Sweden being underdog is no walk over)
Semi-final stage:
Belgium will beat France by 1 goal but maximum 2.
Croatia will beat England by 2 goals.
Final will be ...
Belgium Vs Croatia
Croatia to win the World Cup ... hopefully 😀
Karma.
I strongly suspect that a less play-acting striker may have got one of those penalty decisions, but tough titty. The thunderous cacophony of chicken feet racing home to roost is music to anyone’s ears who deplores cheating.
Belgium v England in the final? Last time the final was between two teams whose national drink is beer? 1966.
It’s nailed on, isn’t it?
The banana skin is the Sweden game ..get through that and I think England can win it ..
Yip definite penalty
Which one? The last one? No chance - tiny contact followed by the usual swan dive and agony face.
The Kompany one was debateable, but given Neymar's conduct, officials were probably looking for any reason not to give it.

That is the dream final with England winning but somehow I feel English players sometimes get demotivated too soon too quickly.
If the English players would pour their hearts out they can beat Croatia.
Damm, Courtois what a nice humble chap there kind of hope they win it there....
Henri will be conflicted in the semi I suspect
Yip definite penalty
You still reckon he was gouging the eyes there? He was already warming up for the roll and appeal when he should have been concentrating on heading the ball. Cheating scumbag that has dived so much nobody believes him.

Diving boy was already preparing to pull a quick last minute penalty there ... LOL!
I’m really enjoying this tournament so far.
I’ve had the opportunity to listen to most games and watch the ones I’ve wanted to.
I do hope that the fights continue to be clean and well mannered.
👍

Yes, I agree because most of the big teams are out.
I do not want to see another previous winner to lift the World Cup.
England to lift the World Cup is fine ... 😀

Gouging no, doesn't take much in that area of the face to blind someone for a second though.
Thought the ref was bloody great with Neymar tonight. The ‘get up!’ Gesture with his first blatant dive let him know how things were going to go.
Didnt stop the usual antics but nice to see the red not having any of it
I might be wrong but IIRC it's difficult/nigh on impossible to win the World Cup without a decent proper out and out front man banging in the goals for you. Brazil don't seem to have a "proper" center forward.
Blimey.....there’s no one left to beat!
footballs coming home. 🏴😮😎
as good as the games have been my favourite so far

All hail the killfile. Nice not to have to read chewkw’s bollocks on this thread.
Delighted to see the Brazilians headed home. Undoubtedly skilful but so cynical with it. Here’s hoping Belgium dump the cheating French out of it too 😀
so...?

Not a penalty? Is there a rule that says touching the face is a foul? Has anyone else said it was? You have a better chance with the earlier one
I'm sure there's a rule sticking your fingers in people eye somewhere, don't quote me though.... 😆
Do you also think he's that good at diving where he can diving with his eyes? aye better shut this right eye so the slo mo supports me! 😆

Youse are having a laugh if youse think that’s a penalty. It’s just a bit of fitba.
a poke in the eyes is fair game? seriously?
