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...

Troll potential .. mwahahaha

 

[JimW]

Thought Pogba was a fair bit older than 25!

[wayward bob]

2-0 to belgium with 2-4 france comeback please

 

[blairsh]

Early excitment...

 

[LiamO]

Hope Belgium win.

Marouanne Fellaini (who has had a massive impact every time he has played incidentally)... World Cup Winner!

That has a nice ring to it. And a perfect riposte to all his (multitudinous) critics

 

[Lord Camomile]

Great stat mentioned by Guy Mowbary: each of Belgium's wins has come against a team from a different FIFA confederation

 

[imposs1904]

Indicates where he's going to put the corner . . .

. . . no one's there.

'You'll Never beat Oceania'

 

[Pickman's model]

'You'll Never beat Oceania'

We have always been at war with Oceania

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bugger, de Bruyne not tracking Lukaku's run

 

[planetgeli]

You’re ok so far editor but I’d get a move on if I were you.

 

[friedaweed]

Nice to see both teams going at it

 

[Lord Camomile]

This is really is such a great set up: both teams with attacks capable of elegant devastation, but also with two superb 'keepers between the sticks.

 

[Badgers]

Looks like a 1-0 France

 

[agricola]

Really odd atmosphere in the ground though. From the BBC coverage it sounds as if most of the crowd are neutrals?

 

[agricola]

wow x 2 (Hazard, then Varane)

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fellaini playing well high.

So to speak.

 

[editor]

Belgium looking good!

 

[agricola]

to get one hand to that would have been fantastic, never mind two

 

[friedaweed]

Sabutio goalie save

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aye, superb save.

 

[editor]

You’re ok so far editor but I’d get a move on if I were you.

I'm now above ground and connected!

 

[J Ed]

What's with the French tricolor with the V in the middle behind the France goal?

 

[QueenOfGoths]

"Look the Chicken team!" said my small (and incidentally nude apart from his school socks) companion during the French national anthem

 

[planetgeli]

to get one hand to that would have been fantastic, never mind two

Pickford would’ve caught that.

 

[agricola]

I wish Kante would mark someone else than Lukaku, its continually reminding me of this:

 

[imposs1904]

De Bruyne is such a great player. I really want Belgium to win the World Cup.

 

[starfish]

Good game so far.
