If England where to make the final and win would that mean the world cup has become sentient and in doing so has jumped ship to become a brexiteer.

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.

I had a feeeling they have been cheating but did not really want to say anything.

France through to World Cup Final. Belgian gone and get taste of their own medicine. Belgium had done to them what they did to mighty Brazil. Good riddance!

France vs Belgium

19 shoot vs 9

5 clean shoot vs 3

France is the best team in this match and France is more humble than Belgium. Listen reactions of the players. For example:

Belgium is a very good team.

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.

This exactly. I think it'd be naive to think that other teams aren't doping. It'd be the same for other high level sports where so much is at stake and every little difference counts. They will aways find ways to circumvent the rules.

I had Belgium in my work sweep stake. Dang you France.

But I predicted France to win this thing so okay...

Now, let's see what happens tonight.

Hmm, pie.

As long as they're the team that plays the best? I think Belgium look a great side, if I was Belgian, I'd be really disappointed! Mbappe and Pogba look like highly strung idiots to me, Pogba looked close to striking out at the end near the corner flag. I doubt a red would have been shown by that ref mind.
