2018 World Cup running thread

The front 3 is great and Hazard was a wizard last game. Also, they are so dangerous on free kicks with the skill of KdB/Hazard and the heading of Lukaku and the Fro.

But if you couldn't play Kompany and Fellaini against the better teams in the Champions League, how can they hold up against the array of options that France can bring?

 

Belgium are basically Liverpool with a better goalkeeper.

 

How many of the Final 8 teams changed coaches in the past year? Seems like I've heard that storyline a few times in this tournament.

 

It turns out that it was a huge stroke of luck when Big Sam stepped in it. Gareth Southgate has been perfection.

 

That and DeBruyne is a better all-around player than anyone on Liverpool.

 

De Bruyne might right now be the best player in the sport, full stop.

 

Agreed, although I don't think Roberto Firmino gets the credit he's due. He should have started for Brazil.

 

I mean, I hope the scheduling conflict happens for England. But I can't imagine Wimbledon would have a problem selling out.

It are?

 

Not familiar with British English?

 

When did we move to Britain?
