Brazil vs Belgium

Stinkie

Yeah. I'm hoping for a Belgium vs Croatia final. That'd be nice.

France will be a tougher opponent than Brazil, me thinks. They won't be taking any chances. Shame Meunier is out. We could've used him.

I've been enjoying watching Fellaini. He's an agent of chaos, and he knows it.

Oi! Watch it!

Dammit, dammit, dammit. This was our one chance. I'm proud of our lads, but it hurts a little nonetheless.

Bit of a sterile game, IMHO. More like chess than footie. Not as exciting as I hoped.

I shall never drink French wine again. Never. Jamais!

Et voilà!

Well done, Croatia! A well-deserved victory.

Belgium vs England for third place. Might be interesting. Now the Cup is no longer an option, I'm hoping for balls out footie. If either team parks the bus, they ought to be flogged.

If France wins the Cup, I'll consider that definitive proof there is no God.

I always believed that God's father was a Frenchy guy!
That can explain the big bazaar everywhere!

Stinkie

Indeed.

Looking forward to the final. I'm really curious to see how Croatia will fare against France's defense.

Hopefully Mbappé will refrain from time-wasting and Neymarian theatrics.

Allez les Bleus!
Go Croatia!

Sadly there has to be a winner, Belgium V England. Two fine teams with a lot to prove but whichever way it goes I hope it will be a fine clean match.

Stinkie

It was okay. The first half was pretty boring, but England put in more effort in the second, which improved things. Still, they were no match for Belgium. Hazard tore through the English defense like it was nothing.

If only we hadn't won our first game against England ...
Still: best ever result for Belgium. Great team, great coach. They all made us proud.

Pretty enjoyable World Cup, all in all.
