    france didn't play fair so they don't deserve to win the Cup.

    Had brazil been in a similar position, would you have taken the same stand considering all Neymars acting and antics??

    france played like a champion team and they deserved this.....

    i was of the opinion before the WC began itself that france will win when seasonal FIFA fans who know only Neymar,Ronaldo & Messi in the world were arguing that their Hero's teams will win....Hardly anyone even heard of Lukaku before they did a story on his life couple of days and everyone was gung ho supporting Belgium just like that and now a lot of those Noob football fans are disappointed and cursing France

    Trying to claim your superiority by football watching? Acting is the one thing I don't like to watch football. They are players not actors. In football, if one team scored a goal in second half the whole match's momentum is dropping and we are getting bored. because that team wasting time using their dirty tactics. Thats why I prefer even T20 cricket instead, because momentum getting higher at the end of the match.( Yah cricket is not a posh sport) France was playing dirty since the beginning. Played dirty in Uruguay match also. Their dirty tactics good for them but not good for football. That is why they don't deserve it. Japanese went other way trying to score more but ended up losing. Thats why I am a seasonal watcher. It is a waste of time watching people acting on the field.

    Man, Didn't you see how many times Belgium players had take down France pace runners ? They had to take yellows for their team. Because they knew when and if Mbappe get the ball it's gonna be hard to defend. Dropping the momentum is winning side's job. Other team should take the ball and keep the momentum going.



    Yeah France played dirty but their tactics were well ahead. Pogbas height played a crucial role.

    Lukaku hardy touched the ball, Bruyne made a lot of mistakes.



    Aaaand Finally you should know Any team would do the same like France did at dead minutes. It's the nature of football.

    බෝලෙ ප්ලේ නොකරන වෙලාවට වෙලාව යන එක නැවැත්තුවනම් පොඩි වෙනසක් හරි වෙයි. එතකොට අඩුම ගානෙ බෝලෙ රෝල් කර කර හරි ඉන්න වෙයිනෙ.

    yeah. in Brazil match Belgium did to some extent. Not much.

    I think opponent target to block the famouse striker. this match Lukaku, CR7 not had the ball at their last match.

    I havn't seen any saint in the foot ball field..not in cricket[may be only the NZ team try to culture that]not in any sport nowadays..You have to get through all of that and be the winner...If not you have to admit you've failed the test.....

    How many teams in any sport played Nice and won a cup?? havent you seen time wasting till close of play even in Cricket matches?? Even during school cricket matches teams waste time,spend time on the floor and try to play for a draw......that's all tactics.....no one will talk about the team who played decently and came in second...france played an aggresive brand of Soccer to which no one could stand upto till now...you can't take away their acheivements simply by saying things like they cheated and bla bla bla......that's all losers talk....How many cricket world cups have the nice and decent New Zealand team won and how many have the cheating,scheming Indians and Australians won?? This is just one example

    Lukaaku was a marked player....france made sure the ball never reached him throughout the game....that's call tactics.....When a team relies on just a single player to take them through the opposite players will mark the player and block him from scoring.....This is not playing dirty...Just pure stratergy

    This is exactly why Messis Argentina,neymars brazil & Ronaldos portugal went home early as a single star player can't perform all the time and get an otherwise mediocre team to win matches.....

    The 4 best balanced teams reached Semis, which don't have so called Club football superstars

    They don't deserve the WC because of they play dirty.

    :lol::lol::lol:

    They played for the win. You can't blame them for that. Even Belgians wasted last minutes of vs Brazil match. This happens all the time. It's win or go home.
    No team with a 1 goal lead wants to play right and risk a counter attack. What would happen if they conceive a goal? All that effort would be for nothing and on top of that this was no ordinary game.
    Belgium had very good chances. Sadly nobody could convert at least one of them into a goal. At the end of the day, France was just better.
    I wanted Belgium to win too ... but it just doesn't happen every time. :sorry:

    :lol:

    I am not a seasonal fan (my brothers are though) but not cursing anyone either. In the initial predictions I had France, Spain, Germany and Brazil for semis, and only France remains now. Wonder whether sacking of their coach in the last minute unsettled Spain, which I thought would go all the way.

    Whats your take on the next SF? Can the hype bring down England?
