My dream of looking clever picking Belgium to win dies. I'll drown my sorrows in chips and mayo.

Tbh France became a bit scummy at the end especially Mbappe's time wasting which was silly considering how well he played, either France make it to the final and it seems my prediction will come to be, I think I was the only one in this thread that predicted a French WC win at the start of the thread.

Mbappe is making it harder to like him. First the dive against Uruguay and now the timewasting.

I don't like him.

Yeah the Uruguay dive was bad and the time wasting here was not acceptable by any means which is a shame because he looks to go on to be a defining talent for the game in future but like Neymar he seems to have the case of Ginola syndrome high talent but high theatrics as well.

France deserved winners there.

Belgium looked toothless. Pressure got to them.

Always hate it when the team that plays best loses. Hopefully Belgium win the third place playoff still though!

Brazil were the better team against Belgium. They had 26 attempts compared to Belgium's 8. So maybe they are fortunate to be playing France.

Where are the German tanks when there's a French wall to knock down.

Just when I thought the World Cup couldn't get any worse France advances to the final. lol Remember when I said that I don't want France or Croatia to win this tournament? Now both of them are under the last three left. You know that this World Cup was really disappointing when I start to root for France in the final...




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

So apparently the Russians were using drugs afterall. http://www.marca.com/en/world-cup/2018/07/09/5b43992d468aebee288b456f.html
Not "illegal" doping, but they were still using drugs to get an advantage. Disgusting! I'm glad they got knocked out, just wish they'd got thrashed now.

Norway Golden winter sport team is basically an asthmatic  team and nobody cares.

Anyway, some English fans forgot they are in Russia

The sport is probably filled with people doping from every team. Did you know that the West German team that won the 1954 World Cup doped in the final? But in 1954 FIFA didn't officially prohibit doping yet.

LOL Courtois is a sore loser.
"France was not the best team, they just tried to defend. France played like Panama. They did this during all the tournament, against Uruguay, they scored from a set piece, it's a shame to see that"
