Day 23: Uruguay vs France and Brazil vs Belgium

Classic Uruguayan lumberjack
He was obviously overeager to get back as it was his screwed up first touch that lost it. Nothing dirty about it/the player, just the sort of late challenge that happens every now and then.

You just sound like a bitter Chilean in Santiago. Are you happy at 1-0?
 
This French team is good enough to win this World Cup. They seem able to play both open attacking and tight, compact play.

They should've won Euro 2016 as well but were tense and mentally fragile against Portugal. With the amount of attacking talent they have, they should be blowing teams away but Deschamps seems too passive in his tactics. Against Germany in '14, it hardly seemed they were the team behind because they didn't really cause Germany problems in attack.

Even in this tournament, I don't think they are playing to their full potential.
 
Will never understand how Lloris is capable of such save then is able to feck it up with a stupid mistake at any time.
 
Fantastic save — for me the best of the tournament so far
