It looks like Griezmann put a wicked spin on it. But yes, that was an almost sure save.

Gary Neville is very scathing of Muslera.
He did fuck up.

Suarez is a hypocrite. As if he's never overacted.
Mbappe just cost his team a sure free kick after diving to try to get the sure free kick.

Bad miss by the Uruguay goalie there.
And Mbappe should stop doing that. It's silly.

Not a great match, but I don't expect Total Football when Uruguay are playing. I'm OK with France winning though as I have them in my office sweepstake. Marching on, marching on...
This evening's match really ought to be a classic.

It is promising. Belgium haven't been great in defense, but they've been good in attack. Brazil? They've had bursts of greatness, but I'd say that most of the time they've just been good enough to cause all opponents enough trouble to win. They've been under pressure at times (in all four matches, actually) but when they've fired on all (or most) cylinders, they've been too much for every opponent so far.
I suspect they'll win tonight, because the weaknesses Belgium have shown in defense will cost them against Neymar et.al. - whereas the semi vs France will be tough.
I think France were solid today and now hold them as favourites to win the entire thing.

That semi-final ought to be a classic as well and the winner will be the clear favourite in the final.

Definitely.
Hoping for France-Croatia in the final and England-Brazil in the 3rd place match. Mainly because I'll be in England on final weekend (leaving Thursday, after the semis) and if England are playing in the final, there will be chaos.

What are you in England for? Some aviation enthusiast thing?

How many life-threatening injuries do we reckon Neymar will recover from this evening?
