I have found this too be a poor match.

Lack of urgency in the Belgium side as if they don't want to win.

Grid.

Jeez...Belgium have been cack, very disappointing!

Even if Argies win it hasn't been a convincing display

True, true, but one was considered the talisman for his country.

Whatever way Wilmots uses Hazard, he never performs to the same level s he has for Chelsea.

De Bruyne is their most important player IMO.

Sideshow Bob has really outdone himself today.

Ulysses Gaze

I've been impressed by Basanta today.

Would keep him in the side if they get to the Semi's.

Washington Irving

You could say the same for the other two semi finalists. Netherlands haven't been much better.

Guy:Incognito

Defending is so easy these days. Stand near opposition player. When the ball comes in fall over. Free out.

"Agriculturally"

What?

Ulysses Gaze

So Belgium are resorting to Wimbledon-ball.

Really hope they don't sneak an equaliser.

AllGunsBlazing

You can forget the free scoring flow of the group stages. This is how it's going to be right through to the final itself.

TimeToShine

One of these ugly long balls might actually come off

Summary of today's match.

Havint watched much of World Cup because of this type of crap. He went down like a sack of potatoes and when no one was watching he makes it more spectacular by thrashing around and rolling like a girl.
It's disgraceful

DubDani

Have the Belgium's have had a single clear cut chance this game?

How can they decide it's 5 mins injury time when perez was still down? It tool another 20 or 30 seconds to restart the game.

TimeToShine

So Zab fouls his own team mate and they get possession? Wtf?

If you haven't watched much of the world cup then it's hard to take your comment seriously.

There has been lots more great and positive play that has far outnumbered the negative stuff.

Who's this Van Beaten chap ?

That_Guy

If Belgium get an equaliser I'll be very unhappy.

fullstop

Belgium have been sh!te. Like watching Ireland

Nuri Sahin

Demichelis is my MOTM.

Hopefully Wilmots is sacked or steps down after this, and Belgium produce a couple of actual full backs by 2016.

Lapin

Belgium to score two in injury time to get the result I want and avoid axtra time clashing with the Galway hurling match. :cool:

Wonder what he would do with that fuzzy head in the box?

That_Guy

Bloody hell Messi.

Washington Irving

Courtois saves. Delighted

Ishmael

Good save by Belgium goalie

Nuri Sahin

Great save from Courtois. Saves this thread from an additional 20 posts of Messi love in.

Say Your Number

Messi botches a one on one :eek:

Al_Coholic

great save but Messi should score

Will I Amnt

Good riddance Belgium, awful stuff to watch.

JONJO THE MISER

Its all over.

Stevecw

Feck ya Messi, should have stuck that away. My top scorer bet could have done with it

TimeToShine

At least Courtouis comes out with a bit of pride

Except they have better players than we do so they really have no excuses for playing so badly.

Al_Coholic

Lukaku has to do better there too

LightningBlue

Poor by Messi. Hit it straight at Courtois.
Should be 2-0.

Da Shins Kelly

Belgians just panicking in front of goal. No composure.

Antibac

Wilmots has a touch of Roddy Collins about him

Lapin

FFS that should have been in.

Dunphy called the wrong team a bunch of headless chickens.

i just shouted that too,at least he has 2 games left no matter what happens

Washington Irving

Seems to have followed pretty much the same template as Germany-France. Well done to Argentina.

That_Guy

Have Argentina in my WC draw. That'll do pig, that'll do.

delaad

Famous? It wont be remembered tomorrow!

Mantis Toboggan

Has dunphy got any predictions right? #clown!

Gbear

Is was pretty easy for Argentina there.

Belgium were crap in most of the same ways France were yesterday.

Lack of urgency, pace and aggression.
