    As usual? Haven't they been pretty impressive all tournament?

    Some of you need to log of the computer and help your mum with the chores...

    Just remember the Belgium team that lost tonight is the same Belgium team who were knocked out by a piss poor Wales team in the euro's . They just aren't very good.

    Ironic because Martinez was criticized for playing De Bruyne too deep early in the tournament.

    France are definitely better than they were two years ago because they're older, more experienced, have Mbappe, and Varane isn't injured. Their attack has been bland for the most part, however they're very difficult to break down.

    If England get to the final we have nothing to fear against France, but they'll be tough to beat.

    Please stop. This Martinez team is not the same team: two years ago they were managed by the much worse Wilmots, they are much better now.

    Impressive ..

    They played the same teams as England in the groups and did nothing special .

    They basically got lucky against a mediocre Japan team ( remember that game ?). If Honda's late long distance free kick hadn't been tipped away , there'd have gone home then .


    Oh and all chores done including hanging out your nappies to dry .. .. bruv ;)

    I thought Belgium were good much better than 2 years ago

    They were strong when they went 433

    I thought they were unlucky vs France and hazard got hacked without card or foul a couple of times

    What about Brazil? Also lucky? According to some of you clowns, everyone who did anything in this tournament is just "so lucky" and the poor teams that lost had the worst luck on Earth. Spare me your bullshit. You seem to pop up everywhere to stir shit up, like you did on the LFC board when the Coutinho drama was happening.

    If you'd actually read any of my posts on the topic of Coutinho you'd have noticed that Liverpool are my second team .. so I was certainly not winding anybody up , junior ..

    As to YOUR initial personal insult ... on my experience it's usually teenagers who start any silliness off in these threads .

    After 30 seconds checking your posts I found this ... says it all really !

    The post below was aimed at yet another member you've abused

    A rather disappointing final.

    A dive followed by an own goal. Then a handball on VAR which didn't look like a 'clear and obvious error' which is what's meant to be required to change the decision.

    Also we had a Lloris howler for another, rather undeserved, goal.

    But some great play by the Croatian defender, Veda and Mbappe for the French so there's that.

    Still... we'll get them next time, eh fellas?! :)

    Croatian fans 3 days ago: "Lol at those English pundits! See how wrong they were."

    Croatian fans today: "Listen to those English pundits, it wasn't a PK!"

    Wasn't the French player offside behind Mandzukic for the first goal too? It was an odd final. The Croatian keeper probably could have done better with the final two goals but maybe it's his injury issues finally fully showing up.

    It just shows how key getting breaks at the right time are in tournament football.

    Agreed.

    On the Mbappe shot he just seemed to collapse in a heap on the floor. Hardly moved.

    Exactly .

    It would have been farcical to win the World Cup with the teams they'd played
