Come on Belgium!

Will anyone score an own goal?

I can't imagine that their second place strategy would be to get yellow cards.

Clearly, Belgium is not afraid of the teams they'll meet as group winners.

For both teams, there’s no shame in going out to Brazil

Maybe this is why Belgium has never won a major trophy. No strategy, just go for it.

Rashford missed that on purpose!

England accuracy of shots a measly 11%?

Rashford is good. He hasn't been on target yet!

Well that game was to be expected to be as poor as it was. I expected more bookings though

Highlight for me was michy smashing himself in the face with the ball lol

I hope our momentum hasn't been disrupted by this. Colombia aren't a team to be under estimated, they're in the last 16 for a reason.

That was an exciting game. I thought Argentina might be able to tie at the end, but they were all over the place. The look on Messi's face after France scored the 4th showed what a mess they were.

The guardian said of argentina’s extra-time goal, “From the grave, the hand thrust up through the soil, but it got no further. Argentina at last were done.”

Will Russia be able to rely on their team’s new-found chemistry?

Switched on tv to see goal for Spain!
Own goal or not, good for Spain to get one early.

Can we please just scrap the domestic football and have this world cup played every week?

Good god, please noooo! You haven't got the smallest idea what it's like struggling to live in Brazil during the world cup. Everyone's brains have fallen out. I'm enjoying the world cup but I have to admit it would be great to go back to normal. I'm close to either supporting Mexico tomorrow or slapping someone .

No thanks! Wolves in the premiership to look forward to here

Oh 😂 I'm fully loving this world cup. Think I will lose my mind if England win it.

Then again I am an arsenal fan so I go into every season with baited breath 😂🖐️

This arsenal season should be interesting!

Everyone watching Brazil Mexico today?

Gonna try but working

I will be watching Brazil v Mexico. Have a meeting tonight which should end around 7.30 so I am hoping to make it home in time for the second half of Belgium v Japan.

Everton players are back in training today, still have to get rid of quite a number of players, interesting times ahead.

I'm going to watch. I've just picked my son as the school closed early and the little ones are not due into school until after the game.

Lots of Premiership players in the Belgium team against Japan.

Where are you watching the England Columbia game?

This cup isn't going too well for FIFA top 10 teams. Except Brazil and France so far.
So, England is probably going through.

Hold on... this is exciting after all.

this is wild!
