France vs Belgium - (SF) - 19:00 - 10/07/2018

[Teaboy]

Apparently there is another side of the draw and they're playing a match today.

I think Belgium have the better team but I think they had their final against Brazil. France have been building nicely and I think they'll nick this one. Close one though.

Allez Les Bleus

Let's hope whoever wins gets their best game out the way tonight.

Good thread work Teaboy

Let's all hope for a grueling match that has lots of red cards and ends in penalties. 0-0 after ET and only a single penalty goes in as the rest buckle under pressure and sky them.

 

[TruXta]

Hoping Belgium can punish big brother.

Discipline is required at this stage of the tournament.

You might need to step up

I am falling to bits

 

[JimW]

I fancy Belgium for this based on not much more than slightly preferring their game-changers.

 

[editor]

I think this could be a cracker.

 

[Badgers]

This is only the 3rd place play off

 

[imposs1904]

Belgium 3-1

Lukaku to score.

 

[Shechemite]

Belgium to win.

France to equally vicious in the tackles and scummy in their diving, to give us the Belgium b team again. This time on crutches.

 

[Virtual Blue]

France to win via penalties.

 

[editor]

Can't decide who I want to win here. England vs France would be a fantastic final, but then I played both Belgium and France last weekend and although the French festival was far slicker, the Belgium crowd was absolutely bloody wild...

 

[Badgers]

Ideally an ill disciplined, injury filled goalless draw with one of the teams winning on penalties 30/31

 

[Badgers]

I think this could be a cracker.

I think this could be the best game of the tournament or go the other way and be a close/cagey draw

 

[Rebelda]

I've promised to "supervise" a patient who wants to watch it. It's not my first day

 

[tommers]

Aging Russian space equipment plunges to earth in a maelstrom of fire and chaos.

Both teams out for exactly five days.

Meanwhile there are reports of food poisoning in the Croatia camp!

We win.

 

[tommers]

Tough game to call but should be good. To be honest I'm losing interest a bit. This is the wafer thin mint at the end of the feast. It's been three days without a game! Boring.

 

[belboid]

Belgium 3-1, I hope. Even tho I have France in the sweepstake.

Should be the game of the tournament.

 

[Teaboy]

I do like the optimism here and I really hope its going to be a belter. However, there is huge amount at stake here and semi finals and finals are more often then not tense and nervy affairs. Then again this tournament has been unpredictable from the off.

 

[binka]

Kompany at CB again. Think he's a liability these days - especially against fast, tricky forwards. He should have had a penalty against him last time out.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Hoping for a penalties win for Belgium with Hazard and Lukaku getting sent off and DeBruyne getting a knock that rules him out for a week.

 

[Voley]

I think this could be the best game of the tournament or go the other way and be a close/cagey draw

Or somewhere in between. I agree.

 

[editor]

I'm going to be on the tube coming home for the first 20 mins or so, so I hope there's plenty of bite size summaries of the action from you guys awaiting me at every (wi-fi enabled) station...

 

[planetgeli]

I have Belgian lager on the go. I'm ready.

 

[blairsh]

Belgium win, lots of goals in normal time and a suitable amount of injuries/cards for Belgium

 

[Maggot]

Got money on Belgium.

Looking at the starting line-up, looks like 10 of the Belgian starters are Premiership players.

 

[Badgers]

I said France would win the cup but fancy the Belgium for this
