It's a really good game

[Divine Wright]

Didn’t think that Giroud chance from mbappes pass was a fluff from Giroud like the commentators were saying. Looked to me like the defender got in the way of Giroud taking it on his right boot.

More importantly are both of these teams capable of stopping England should the unthinkable happen tomorrow.

Yes

[thehumblegringo]

I've thoroughly enjoyed the first half. Hazard vs Griezmann superb.

France need to get mbappe more in this game he should be smashing vertongen(spelling)

If England were to beat Croatia I reckon that either of these two teams would thump them in the final.

[Taunton Blue Genie]

The finishing on both sides is woeful.

[WJ99mobile]

I counted 14 of the 22 of this game will be visiting the CCS this coming season. And 12 of the 22 tomorrow.

We will have a World Cup winner come to play a competitive game at Cardiff next year it seems.

Isn't this how football should be played? Passionate crowd aside (why couldn't it have been played in Lille?) it's exactly the sort of game that is just waiting to explode while also showing huge amount of skill and discipline.

I really don't understand how someone could think it's boring!
Top quality attacking and good defending. Tactical battle with Hazard, DeBruyne, Griezmann and Mbappe all threatening to turn the game in a flash.

So instead of talking about France or Belgium we got to listen about harry mcfeckinguire

No gringo lad you must kick the ball 60 yards whenever you receive it that’s proper football

Great game .
Greizmann ? I am sure he is an imposter . I don’t get the fuss over him . The others you mentioned are outstanding footballers .
Fellini isn’t one of the greats but was superb first 20 minutes .
The Man U guy up front is doing a fantastic impression of the invisible man .

He's a top top player. His use of the ball is excellent, he scores goals but his intelligence is off the scale. Against Uruguay on Saturday he was brilliant and completely controlled the game.

[thehumblegringo]

I wish the first goal went the other way as France are far more capable of shutting the game down than Belgium are.

[surge]

Lukaku not up for it as he was against Brazil? Or has the French defence just done a number on him?

Are you serious he’s brilliant

If I didn’t have France in the sweep I would agree ��
