Day 23: Uruguay vs France and Brazil vs Belgium

I didn't even realise that torreria was playing. Arsenal fans have been raving about him but I see nothing special. Another elneny
 
Man, the amount of talent in france that they can bring a 110 million euros player like dembele off the bench.
 
Why does Gary seem to hate everything a losing side does?
Every other nothing event seems to embarrass him
 
Can Fred be that guy? Is the big question.
You'd like to think so, he supposedly has the right qualities for the role but we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed.

He gets very invested for a neutral, has to be said.
 
Solid performance by France. They’ve been in control after the 2nd goal. Pogba has had another good game.

I dunno, crying before the match ends is a bit much. Be embarrassed if an United player just gave up like that.
 
I love how heartless Neville is. Not going to baby or make excuses for players, which incidentally is why so many of our fans have issues with him. He is critical but it is because he has high standards.
 
Been such a one sided game this. Probably the most one sided in the whole knockout stage so far
 
5 minutes? Is Fergie in charge of the clock?
 
France vs Brazil will be a monstrous match, two very balanced teams.

Hopefully Brazil don't get there though.

There's a difference between being critical and calling everything Uruguay are doing embarrassing.
 
Uruguay's Gk had been superb to the point where I was wondering of why he didn't play for a top team. But then he dropped a Karius in QF.
 
France should play triangles around suarez for the last few minutes. He would probably get down on all fours and ho for their ankles.
 
Uruguay had 3 shots against Portugal but today they tasted their own venom. Completely blunt when they have to attack, especially without Cavani.

France has a tight defence and some great athletes but they still flatter to deceive.

All in all and despite being an highly entertaining WC, the winner could be the weakest in recent memory.

Give him another few years of commentating and I can see him going full Lawro, and just complaining about everything.

Its always something though.
If its not punching the ball its walking around the pitch to players dying their hair etc etc
Just nothing instances that's made out to be 100x bigger than they are.
