Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 It's half-time and there was some good defending by Belgium in that half, which limited France's chances. Although both teams had chances, there weren't many. They have kind of cancelled each other out, as they are both closely matched sides. Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Tchoumeni with a shot on goal from outside the area forces an excellent save from Casteels! Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 A lovely weaving run there by Mbappe but his shot goes over the bar! Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Muani comes on for Thuram, that's a good decision from Deschamps in my opinion. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted July 1 Author Administrator Posted July 1 Great defending from Hernandez to block Carrasco's shot. Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Lukaku has a shot at goal in the area but Magnan produces a lovely save! Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 De Bruyne has a piledriver of a shot excellently saved by Magnan! That was a lovely strike that, as De Bruyne hit that first time! Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Muani's shot took a deflection off of Vertonghen but France have taken a late lead here! France 1-0 Belgium Quote
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted July 1 Subscriber Posted July 1 How unfortunate, a deflection gets the goal. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted July 1 Author Administrator Posted July 1 Probably another OG. Scuffed that so badly was going wide Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 France win with a narrow win and advance to the quarter-finals! France 1-0 Belgium Quote
Moderator Tommy Posted July 1 Moderator Posted July 1 1 hour ago, Michael said: Have garlic sales gone up today in Dusseldorf @Tommy? Probably. Saw tons of Belgians in the city earlier today. Anyway, pretty disappointed with Belgium. France looked far from unbeatable, but Belgium just played too passive for most of the game. Pretty meh game. Not worth of such a beautiful stadium. Quote
6666 Posted July 1 Posted July 1 2 own goals. 1 penalty. 0 goals from open play. Into the quarter finals. A final between the 2 favourites, France & England, will surely be a great watch. Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 1 Subscriber Posted July 1 It's a crime really that Spain vs Germany is a quarter final. Guarantees one of the two sides that both look like contenders and aren't horrendous to watch will be eliminated before the semi finals. 2 Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 (edited) France will probably play Portugal in the quarter-finals. That will probably be another very tactical and cautious match, but I hope the Portuguese go far at these Euros. Edited July 1 by Michael Quote
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted July 1 Subscriber Posted July 1 If ever you wanted to see a team more lucky than England this is it. France may have applied pressure more than Belgium but their finishing was poor to almost non-existent too. The fact that it took an OG to win this says so much about how gifted this team looks on paper and how much they've underperformed. Quote
Dr. Gonzo Posted July 1 Posted July 1 France and England final for minimum entertainment, please. Quote
