What a match.

EDIT: All European semi-finals! Didn't expect that.

[Bubba]

That’s gonna be a cracking semi-final. France and Belgium have been the two best teams so far.

Tomorrow should be interesting too in the Europa League side of the draw.

[Bubba]

After seeing Japan v Belgium & Belgium v Brazil... I can see Sweden getting an early two-goal lead. They are set up in a way that it can really happen.

Just thought I’d post this because my predictions have been (close! But...)bad...

[Bubba]

Just put 1-0 on as a bet.

This will be awful... see you at 5pm for an England win with a Maguire header.

Remember when Psychotic said Lingard was troute?

A Psychotic never forgets.

ps: roll out the welcome mat lads, it's coming home

[Old Manus]

Both these teams are troute. It's coming home (runner up).

[Crop]

But it is actually coming home.

[Spuuky]

OK but home is Uruguay and they're already out so

[charliepanayi]

Russia v England would have been dreadful. Croatia v England might be marginally less dreadful.

Oh you tease. No more years of hurt!

[The Captain]

Genuinely glad to see 4 teams still left that aren't among the real powerhouses. You have one perennial underachiever in Belgium finally coming good, maybe shades of Spain 2010; France which blows hot and cold but seems white hot right now; England, in what would probably be the most English thing to do by winning a World Cup when no one picked them and Croatia, which seems to find ways to just eke out results after surviving back to back shootouts.

Final prediction?

I think Belgium beats France 3-2 and England outlast Croatia, who may be out of gas, 2-1, setting up what almost amounts to a Premier League World Cup Final. Maybe the EPL is back on the rise?

Take care all.
