A couple of those Russian penalties were terrible.

Not hitting the target is indefensible.
Fuck me it's big enough.

I know the rankings are a bit fucked up but still. Surely nobody in the 32-nation era has reached the final without playing a seed in the knockout rounds. Colombia, Sweden, Croatia.

An incredibly charmed run for sure but you gotta make the most of it. The list of cabbage countries they've actually failed to beat in the last 20 years is longer than your arms.

They haven't played a decent team yet, hard to judge how good they are.
As it stands the winner of France v Belgium must be hot favourites.

It is hard to judge. It's only a cup competition anyway when all said and done. Chelsea just won one, to which ultralol.

England certainly be playing one of France/Belgium, be it the final or the 3rd place novelty match.

Seem to recall England lost the 3rd place play off game with Italy in 1990 but they must make the final this time.
It ain't Germany waiting for them on Wednesday this time.

For all the quality the only goal from a set piece header at the near post.

Tough on Belgium.
They've just about edged it for me.
So many fantastic players in the middle of the park.

They disappointed me tbh. De Bruyne, Dembele, Lukaku all were poor today. Belgian attacks only consisted of Hazard dribbling, either winning a free kick or giving the ball away. Expected more.

Lukaku seemed a yard off the pace.
Few golden chances passed him by.

He's a funny one. He looks like he doesn't expect the ball to get to him and only realises he could have scored when it's too late. Or something. You wouldn't call him deadly.
