This match is ballet mates, and I hate football.

Very honourable.

Spoke too soon.

 

[frogwoman]

Ugh should have been a yellow card just then.

 

[blairsh]

Fucking hell! Has been having what Maradona's been having?

 

[Steel Icarus]

Globally, neutrals or whatever. Like, if your team isn't going to win it, who do you want winning it.

Feel like they've played some decent, attractive football, don't think anyone has any great animosity to them (political history aside), they've got a plucky underdog/dark horse narrative despite their current footballing talent, never won it before...

I'd be happy to see Belgium win it as they've been the best attacking team this WC and I don't have anything against any of them.

hazard has been quality

"Not much in that, given his team a breather" - if that'd had been Neymar they'd have been all over him. Wasn't as comically theatrical as the Brazilian, but a dive all the same.

 

[blairsh]

Bye Brazil! Bye Neymar!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Git yer fackin' head up, man! There were players coming into the box in space, but noooooooo, got to try and do it yourself.

 

[Dr. Furface]

Aaaaagh!

 

[blairsh]

Fiddlesticks

 

[belboid]

Game on!

 

[belboid]

Bye Brazil! Bye Neymar!

well timed

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Bye Brazil! Bye Neymar!

Spoke too soon

 

[Lord Camomile]

My clean sheet bonus! Nooooooooooooooo!

 

[frogwoman]

Bollocks

 

[campanula]

fair play - good goal

 

[rekil]

VAR please.

 

[blairsh]

I'm saying Belgium 3 - Brazil 1

 

[tommers]

Gonna be a good last fifteen now.

 

[Opera Buffa]

filth

 

[belboid]

It had been a comparatively dull half. I wouldn’t mind seeing an extra half hour.

And coutinhos assist is good for my fantasy team.

 

[Pickman's model]

Gonna be a good last fifteen now.

You say that now...

 

[Badgers]

[pinkychukkles]

Yeah, thought that blairsh had an advance tv feed ahead of the BBC & Belgium had scored again...

then Brazil pulled one back, booooo!

 

[Steel Icarus]

That pass by Phil Coutinho was awesome. He must have a sand wedge for a foot.

 

[blairsh]

Is Courtois wearing black marigolds?

 

[rekil]

Sad that Neymar overshadows Coutinho's fantasticness.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fucking hell, Hazard shouldn't have been able to turn and burst that easily. That was impressive.

Pass, less so...

 

[Badgers]

Fur Me No

 

[campanula]

at last, a sub OMG, nearly no2
