Day 23: Uruguay vs France and Brazil vs Belgium

France-Beligum should be a joy to watch. Pogba vs Fellaini. :drool: Meant KDB but nevermind.
 
Terrible decision to take off Lukaku. Less options on the counter and if brazil makes the 2-2 you have taken off a goal scorer and good penalty taker
I thought it was a good decision. The end to end game was draining them, they needed some control in midfield. Of the front 3, you cant really take hazard or de bruyne off in case it goes to extra time as theres a big difference in quality in the bench. Lukaku can be reasonably replaced with their bench options.
 
Euro 2018? Lol. Let's add 16 teams to the 2026 WC and only give 3 extra places to Europe.
 
Fellaini, Kompany, Courtois, Lukaku, Meunier and De Bruyne were fantastic tonight. Belgium pulled through in spite of that absolute [insert insult here] sitting on their bench

Brazil fecked up. Too many chances missed. Neymar below expectations. Coutinho had the one moment of genius but otherwise also not good enough. Fernandinho a disaster. They really missed Casemito tonight

Also, why the feck did Tite keep playing Willian over Douglas Costa :lol: Firmino too, brazil way more dangerous with him instead of Gabriel Jesus
 
Feck off Brazil. Great performance from Belgium.

De Bruyne still cant pass to Lukaku.

I will admit to questioning the Lukaku sub but Martinez got that right.
 
nobody likes your divers and cheaters
you aren't even that good to watch
everyone is glad you're out
feck off Brazil :p
 
Brazil with Casemiro were arguably the best team in the competition. Casemiro's absence cost them big time.

Belgium played a terrific first half but were pants in the second and were lucky to avoid extra time.
 
Brazil was much better team today. And to be honest they had two 50 50 calls for penalty. France will win against belgium. Their defence is awful.
 
For once Martinez hasn't been Martinez. Belgium was tactically perfect and deserved to win, even when Brazil pushed as hard as they could.
 
Really happy for Belgium

Supported them a lot tonight

Don’t like anything of brazil

I always had bad relationships with brazilian people, too different way to live and thinking
 
The best thing about Brazil team this world cup is zero minutes for Fred . So he will be fairly well rested and up dated in training . I think he might join in earlier than expected for pre season .
