Belgium are better equipped to beat us than France IMO, but France are the kind of team I think Belgium will struggle against. Still think Belgium will squeak through, but I'm supporting France

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Let's just concentrate on our own semi-final tomorrow first please?

Why? Do you have an active role in organising the England team then?

Uruguayan ref? Seriously?

Belgium ftw then.

C'mon Belgium!

Poll(s) added to cover who you want to win and who you think will win, which may be different, possibly.

I've voted Belgium/France.

The Poles are out.

 

[Weststander]

The good news - no screaming Jonathan Pearce.
The not so good - Hindsight Murphy, who'll wait to see who scores first, then lavish praise on everything they do.

The de facto final tonight, the two best teams in this tournament to date.

A lazy prediction, following an obvious pattern when two similar quality teams meet in football - whoever scores first, will end up winning.

Agreed, nice use of the Latin. I hope it is Belgium as I think France is a wonderful country spoilt by its inhabitants...

 

[Weststander]

Immediately, both teams have a mass of bodies behind the ball.

Belgium for the first time are playing a proper football team, who won't be absolute mugs like Japan and Brazil who both pathetically left acres of space for Belgian counter attacks.

Pretty sure I can hear “ England” being chanted......

I keep hearing that Jeremy Corbyn song at this World Cup. Are there lots of Corbynites in Russia?

Try the red button for 5 live commentary, not sure who's doing it though.

Very slow this one. A bit like a game off chess. I’m hoping for extra time tonight.

Giroud really is a donkey

 

[Billy the Fish]

Hopefully France can nick a goal, don't think they can hurt us as much as Belgium

 

[Hugo Rune]

Giroud really is a donkey

Griezmann is his grazing partner so far!

That was rather polite, president of France shaking hands with king of Belgium. no in your face you sprout! ��

 

[Birdie Boy]

I've changed my mind, I want Belgium to win.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Belgium always looking for the backward or sideways pass. It's not looking great for them.
