Obvious penalty, terrible decision by the ref

Tinfoil hat time:
That ref really didn't want Brazil to progress.

I bet he's hoping his b sample has degraded.

So that's only two previous winners left right?
It's still not coming home, because Scotland ain't got a hope in hell of winning it.

This is the only expansion I can think of. His touch was very strong, I think he had lost control of the ball, had there been no contact he wasn't keeping it in.

Plucky Belgium against mighty Brazil, oh how the world has turned, Neymar’s currency gone south, Kevin the wonder kid in orbit.. I love this World Cup.. intriguing eurospam mash up now.. thank you Putin..

I wish I knew the Portuguese for Adios Cuntos. or the Spanish for that matter...

What a great world cup :D

Naymar, Messi, Suarez and Ronaldo all out.

Gary Cahill marches on.

How many times was Hazard fouled?

at what point did Brazil cross over in to a team most wanted to lose ?
they have always been liked as the purveyors of samba football, on the back of the great teams of from 60's 70'& 80's. they have had splashes of the samba football since. but the exact point they tipped on too the slippy slope of shithousery, Rivaldo ball in the face ?

Amazing to see Belgium go through, wonderful group of players... I'm watching the replay now...

Wow, that second Belgium goal!! 😍

i finish work at 2pm snacks and a cuppa and watch the Brazil Belgium game, really looking forward to watching it. small pleasures !

Belgium were solid at the back and dangerous going forward, exactly what you want... Very impressive, they've gotta be favourites now... I reckon they'll turn France over no problem...

Kakkers was good last night.
Hazard immense, really brave "ball please"
Kdb got tired but reappeared.

Felliani 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I think Belgium will be fatigued and flat after two tough games.

Exactly what I was thinking. Also think whoever of France/Belgium reaches the final will have further fatigue (more so than other finalist) and surely suspensions to deal with (as well as Pagan curses and general negative karma) for when they face England on the 15th

So morning all! Predictions for today then?

8-0 to England, Kane scored 6 and Stones get the other two.

England kick the ball around the midfield for 30 mins not really making any progress, Sweden score, 2nd half more of the same and England go down 2-0.

England win 2-0
so do Croatia

Tense match if you have an interest, dull otherwise as all about shape and retention. Settled by a set piece of simple quality.

1-0 either way.

just finished watching the game Belgium were very good the whole team worked for each other with Hazard , KDB, Lukaku and Courtois all stand outs.

the chip from Cortiniho was great.

Belgium have really clicked. Hope they spank France.

I think England will scrape past Sweden 1-0 and fuel the hysteria.
