Brazil v Belgium, 19:00 BST, BBC.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should be great. :popcorn:

Laugh at the loser with so many twats involved.

[Goonermerree]

I hope it's a good match, don't really care who wins, maybe Belgium.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Not sure what's a more disgusting sight:

A) Seeing Neymar happy
B) Seeing Screech happy

[Goonermerree]

It will be interesting to see how outrageous Neymar can get with his theatricals.:popcorn:

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Belgium!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil: Alisson, Fagner, Miranda, Thiago Silva, Marcelo; Coutinho, Fernandinho, Paulinho; Willian, Jesus, Neymar.

Belgium: Courtois, Alderweireld, Kompany, Vertoghen, Meunier, Chadli, Witsel, Fellaini, De Bruyne, Hazard, Lukaku.

[Goonermerree]

Brazil: Alisson, Fagner, Miranda, Thiago Silva, Marcelo; Coutinho, Fernandinho, Paulinho; Willian, Jesus, Neymar.

Belgium: Courtois, Alderweireld, Kompany, Vertoghen, Meunier, Chadli, Witsel, Fellaini, De Bruyne, Hazard, Lukaku.

Fellaini stars, tasty, him and Nemar fighting to be the biggest whotsit. If Neymar knows that Fellaini is 'good' with his elbows he'll be going down as if poleaxed often.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shearer, Rio and Klinsmann in the studio.

[SMatthews]

Martinez going for the chaos theory option with Fellaini looking to stick a few on Miranda and Silva.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Philippe Albert! :bow:

[SMatthews]

Nothin in that fluff piece about where he learnt to be such a little shit. Odd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shearer with the "we hate that kind of shit in our country" nonsense. Oh and Maguire/Henderson diving around was a "if you can't beat them, join them" scenario.

Right.

[Marc Overmars]

Brazil national anthem :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Belgium! Belgium! Belgium!

Hopefully this one will be open and end to end. I wonder how many Fellaini will take out.

I think Brazil will have too much for Belgium though. Lukaku needs to turn up and not just be a lamppost. If he does, then it's anyone's game.

3-1 Brazil. Firmino to score again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

FA Cup Quarter Final says Pearce. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne edges forward, shoots but wide it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fellaini doing a Fellaini early on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And again. :haha:

[SMatthews]

Neymar meet Fellaini

[Globalgunner]

Fellaini doing what he does best. Neymar does the same

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thiago Silva bundles it on to the post!

How did he miss?

[SMatthews]

I think the flick before Silva’s touch messed it up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chaos in Belgium's area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scuffer from Paulinho this time!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Belgium haven't woken up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard dives in to Marcelo's legs.

[SMatthews]

Belgium haven't woken up.

Putting Fellaini in midfield against that lot just means they’ll keep being over run. He’s only effective going forward.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fellaini scuffer. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL


Fernandinho OG!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil 0-1 Belgium, FERNANDINHO OG!!!!!!!

[SMatthews]

Just what the game needed

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clinical finish!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Courtois on a Hollywood stretch.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So nearly fell kindly for Jesus but scrambled away!

8-8 IMO.

[Marc Overmars]

Very open game :popcorn:

[SMatthews]

Nice footwork by Hazard

[The Emirates Gallactico]

As much as I detest this Brazil team, I'm not sure I can stand a Martinez team pubbing their way to an undeserved 1 - 0 win.

Come on Brazil. :sick:

[Globalgunner]

Why is Tyldesley calling the Brazillian no 11 "Coochinio". Weird tosser

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Why is Tyldesley calling the Brazillian no 11 "Coochinio". Weird tosser

It's Jonathan Pearce?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lukaku looking to bulldoze his way through, nearly worked.

[Globalgunner]

It's Jonathan Pearce?

I dont think we are using the same broadcaster. im not in the UK. Its definitely Tyldesley.

[SMatthews]

As much as I detest this Brazil team, I'm not sure I can stand a Martinez team pubbing their way to an undeserved 1 - 0 win.

Come on Brazil. :sick:

Whoever wins it is going to pub it over the finish line

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good effort from Marcelo but Courtois parries it away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Important intervention from Thiago Silva.

Lukaku bundles over Marcelo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar dying in the QF again? :lol:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

I dont think we are using the same broadcaster. im not in the UK. Its definitely Tyldesley.

Oh ok. I'm watching on the BBC One coverage.

[SMatthews]

Neymar touching up his toe nails

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

DE BROOOWNNNNN

What a hit.

[Marc Overmars]

DE BRUYNE!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil 0-2 Belgium, DE BRUYNE!!!!

What a run from Lukaku!

[SMatthews]

What a shot

[Cripps]

Lukaku is having a good world cup

De bruyne is insane

[Cripps]

Does de bruyne have the best bullet shot in the world?

[Marc Overmars]

Maybe this golden generation is ready to deliver after all :popcorn:

[Globalgunner]

Immensely ordinary Brazil team.

[SMatthews]

What was Marcelo doing just backing off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Does de bruyne have the best bullet shot in the world?

Xhaka. :bow:

No I think you're probably right, at least not including strikers.

[Master Splinter]

Brazil getting bullied by Lukaku. Shameful.


Jesus and Kompany with the next goals for Belgium?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus puts his header over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil getting bullied by Lukaku. Shameful.


Jesus and Kompany with the next goals for Belgium?

He's BULLYING them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marcelo cross, deflects and Courtois just diverts it.

Another good save from Courtois to deny Coutinho.

Murphy says Coutinho didn't get hold of it as he'd like. Eh?

[SMatthews]

Immensely ordinary Brazil team.

Most of them haven’t been great in the past 30 years. It’s the brand of Brazil that lives on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Belgium's transition play is bonkers good.

[GP]

Womp womp

[The Emirates Gallactico]

How does Jesus keep getting in ahead of Firmino?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard, De Bruyne and Lukaku all shitting on them from a great height.

[Power n Glory]

We really need a player like De Bruyne. It's the skeg of stuff I expect from a playmaker. Yes, that's another dig at Ozil, Letters. That's a player that's actually contributing so we don't have to count chance creation stats.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne freekick, tipped over by Alisson.

[Marc Overmars]

Belgium look a cut above them really. Better players in every position.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany nearly flicked it in. :lol:

[Globalgunner]

How does Jesus keep getting in ahead of Firmino?

Big mystery. hasn't effected a single game all the tournament. At least Firminho has scored a goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Belgium look a cut above them really. Better players in every position.

BLitW. :bow:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

We really need a player like De Bruyne. It's the skeg of stuff I expect from a playmaker. Yes, that's another dig at Ozil, Letters. That's a player that's actually contributing so we don't have to count chance creation stats.

Not just Letters. N_Q doesn't rate him either.

God knows why. Amazing player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shearer: Lukaku - Strength. Power. Pace. Brilliant! He's unplayable tonight!

Get ready for the full range of his vocabulary at half time.

[Globalgunner]

Looked like a pen to me on Neymar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil 0-2 Belgium, HT!

Red Devils. :bow:

Best Red Devils ever tbf.

[Master Splinter]

De Bruyne and Azar taking the piss.

Lukaku and Screech being made to look like footballers by Brazil today.

Brazil are really missing Casemiro. They look so open and there's no-one to stem the flow.

[Master Splinter]

Shearer: Lukaku - Strength. Power. Pace. Brilliant! He's unplayable tonight!

Get ready for the full range of his vocabulary at half time.

He's big, he's powerful, he's got size and strong strength.

He's quick, he's fast, he's got pace and rapid speed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Klinsmann's mixed American/German accent makes him sound like a robot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's big, he's powerful, he's got size and strong strength.

He's quick, he's fast, he's got pace and rapid speed.

:haha:

[Cripps]

We really need a player like De Bruyne. It's the skeg of stuff I expect from a playmaker. Yes, that's another dig at Ozil, Letters. That's a player that's actually contributing so we don't have to count chance creation stats.

NQ :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shearer just did it!

[LDG]

Shearer just did it!

:haha:

[SMatthews]

Shearer: Lukaku - Strength. Power. Pace. Brilliant! He's unplayable tonight!

Get ready for the full range of his vocabulary at half time.

Everything but the brilliant

[Cripps]

Lukaku has had a great world cup

One of the best strikers at the tournament

Jose:haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Periodic reminder that Mourinho didn't rate De Bruyne at Chelsea.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Shearer just did it!

Just heard it. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Periodic reminder that Mourinho didn't rate De Bruyne at Chelsea.

Or Lukaku*. Or Salah.

*well alright he bought him again. For about 3 times as much as he sold him.

[Power n Glory]

Not just Letters. N_Q doesn't rate him either.

God knows why. Amazing player.

NQ doesn't rate anyone but Ozil. Despite the fact that Ozil epitomises everything he hates about football in terms of celebrity and style of play. The defence of Ozil from NQ comes from this notion that the British press unfairly pick out Ozil. NQ hates the British press hence the staunch defence of Ozil.

KDB is the type of player I want to see at Arsenal in that 10 role.

[LDG]

Christ I hate pundits.

What they fail to get, from the start, is tha Belgium have quality players who have played together consistently for ages, and play as a team.

Brazil have individuals, who do not play as a team.

It’s fucking mind bending stuff, I know.

[Cripps]

Southgate:bow:

[Coney]

Christ I hate pundits.

What they fail to get, from the start, is tha Belgium have quality players who have played together consistently for ages, and play as a team.

Brazil have individuals, who do not play as a team.

It’s fucking mind bending stuff, I know.

They are congenitally incapable of accepting that Brazil are not gods and can be beaten by a decent time. This has been the case for pundits for years.

[Power n Glory]

Periodic reminder that Mourinho didn't rate De Bruyne at Chelsea.

Salah too. De Bruyne would have been shit under Mourinho.

[Master Splinter]

I think Gabby Yorath is even more nauseating than Lineker.

[Cripps]

Women :haha:

[Power n Glory]

NQ :rose:

:rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They are congenitally incapable of accepting that Brazil are not gods and can be beaten by a decent time. This has been the case for pundits for years.

They still think Brazil have a mixture of Pele, Garrincha, Carlos Alberto, Zico, Socrates, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo.

NQ is right about hype on this one.

Someone hauled off, Firmino on.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

NQ doesn't rate anyone but Ozil. Despite the fact that Ozil epitomises everything he hates about football in terms of celebrity and style of play. The defence of Ozil from NQ comes from this notion that the British press unfairly pick out Ozil. NQ hates the British press hence the staunch defence of Ozil.

KDB is the type of player I want to see at Arsenal in that 10 role.

Yeah it's a bizarre one. He has a cynical view of football yet will vociferously defend Ozil who represents everything he rails against: overpaid, over pampered and under-delivering.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard was in, hit it first time!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alderweireld wipes out Paulinho, booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lukaku bullied out of it by Miranda there.

Again such a fast attack though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marcelo ball across but Firmino can only swipe at it.

[Power n Glory]

Yeah it's a bizarre one. He has a cynical view of football yet will vociferously defend Ozil who represents everything he rails against: overpaid, over pampered and under-delivering.

Also, Ozil is Mr. Tippy Tappy. Ozil wouldn't shoot if he were in De Bruyne's position. Opts to pass far too often.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dive from Neymar! :haha:

[Power n Glory]

No booking?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ridiculous dive.

Tite calling for VAR. :doh:

[Marc Overmars]

Neymar :haha:

Cheating cunt.

[SMatthews]

Even if he does genuinely get taken down referees are going to turn away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bobbles off Courtois from Paulinho.

All Brazil at the moment but then again they are the ones losing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany up ends Jesus?

[Power n Glory]

100%

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Can't say that this Belgium team doesn't offer chances. France will be licking their lips watching this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No pelanty given. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

No penalty?

[Power n Glory]

How is that not a penalty?

[LDG]

What is wrong with these fuckers.

Blantant pen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus off, Douglas Costa on! :popcorn:

[SMatthews]

Def not a penalty.

[Globalgunner]

No pen!!!:faint:
Brazil are fked

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard feels obliged to raise the shithousery now Neymar has taken his turn.

[LDG]

Def not a penalty.

Studs in his shin.

Nope, no pen.

[SMatthews]

Studs in his shin.

Nope, no pen.

For anyone in yellow, that’s definitely the right call.

[Marc Overmars]

Nothing really incisive about Brazil’s play yet. They’re just going wide, drilling it in and hoping for the best.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard just dropped the Ashes.

[Marc Overmars]

Belgium’s counter attacking :bow:

[Globalgunner]

fernandinho is losing every battle in that midfield

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Courtois saves from Douglas Costa!

[LDG]

For anyone in yellow, that’s definitely the right call.

If we have any hope of reaching the final, which we don’t...but if we did, you want to play Brazil, not Belgium.

Belgium are by far the best “team” in the tournament.

I want Brazil to win...regardless of the fraud, Neigh-mar

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar withheld rolling!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coutinho boots it out of play. :lol:

[Coney]

If we have any hope of reaching the final, which we don’t...but if we did, you want to play Brazil, not Belgium.

Belgium are by far the best “team” in the tournament.

I want Brazil to win...regardless of the fraud, Neigh-mar

I want Belgium to win but Felaini to be red-carded

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who kicked the ball at Witsel's fro? :lol:

[SMatthews]

If we have any hope of reaching the final, which we don’t...but if we did, you want to play Brazil, not Belgium.

Belgium are by far the best “team” in the tournament.

I want Brazil to win...regardless of the fraud, Neigh-mar

We need to be more concerned about being wiped out by a nerve agent if we get Russia in the semi’s.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Firmino. :haha:

That was pure pub.

Lukaku runs it out of play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We need to be more concerned about being wiped out by a nerve agent if we get Russia in the semi’s.

Who'd be on VAR duties for that one? :ninja:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard blatantly punched Wagner. Maybe.

Probably not.

Meunier booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Meunier will miss the semi-final.

Probably just bring in Mertens or Dembele. Bastards.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Courtois saves from Douglas Costa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Paulinho off, Augusto on.

Suprised Neymar is going down from contact of those bugs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Douglas Costa shot blocked again by Courtois, Neymar follow-up blocked!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil 1-2 Belgium, AUGUSTO!!!

[Marc Overmars]

Game on :popcorn:

[Power n Glory]

Nice goal. What a pass.

[Globalgunner]

After this. Hopefully Brazil will go back to the drawing board. Functional European type play is not Brazil unless you have Ronaldo in your team not a pony like Neymar.
2-1!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marcelo. :lol:

[Globalgunner]

Tite is a ponce persisting with worse players in his starting 11 than he has on the bench

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from De Bruyne there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Firmino blazes it over!

[Cripps]

Extra time :pray:

[Marc Overmars]

Still a chance for Belgium to finish this off on the counter

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard shat on Marcelo there but an awful pass.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't think Belgium extending the unbeaten record is irrelevant somehow Pearce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Augusto just dropped the Ashes.

[Goonermerree]

Belgium have forgotten how to pass. Mostly hoofing it out of defence and the ball keeps coming back, always a bad sign.

[Marc Overmars]

That’s poor, need to get it on target from there

[Cripps]

:rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tite was off down the touchline! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drinks break!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chadli off, Vermaelen on! :bow:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

TV5 :bow::bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think we need to explain to Murphy what "turned it on its head" means.

[Mac76]

Vermaelen xoming on

[Power n Glory]

After this. Hopefully Brazil will go back to the drawing board. Functional European type play is not Brazil unless you have Ronaldo in your team not a pony like Neymar.
2-1!!

Brazil just aren't producing players like they used it. The talent used to override the gung-ho tactics. You can't get away with that today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coutinho. :haha:

How much?

[Marc Overmars]

Coutinho :doh:

What a chance

[Mac76]

Coutinho :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandinho booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lukaku off, Tielemans on.

[Globalgunner]

Fernandinho really has no talent. What happened to Fernando who used to be at City with him?. i always thought he was the better player

[Goonermerree]

Be fair, Lukaka has had a good game.

[Mac76]

Pearce and murphy has to be the absolute worst commentary pairing

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Pubmar :haha:.

[Cripps]

Neymar anticipating contact for a penalty and running it out instead of crossing it :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Fernandinho really has no talent. What happened to Fernando who used to be at City with him?. i always thought he was the better player

Fernandinho was the one with talent, despite today's performance.

Fernando was just a clogger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Richard Hammond booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar whining, appealing for another pel.

[Power n Glory]

Nahmar. Another dive.

[Marc Overmars]

Neymar :haha:

He’s going to cry.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VAR says fuck off Junior.

[SMatthews]

Little bitch flops on the big stage again.

[Mac76]

That was a closer shout than they're saying, the defender's hand was in Naymar's eyes and he had to take his eye off the ball

[Master Splinter]

The Mop Brothers have been immense tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was great from Hazard tbf.

[Marc Overmars]

Hazard has been excellent

[Coney]

That was a closer shout than they're saying, the defender's hand was in Naymar's eyes and he had to take his eye off the ball

If only he hadn't built a reputation for constantly diving by constantly diving.....

[Cripps]

Ospina the midget wouldn't have saved that

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great fingertip save from Courtois off Neymar!

[Master Splinter]

What a save!

[SMatthews]

Courtois saved football.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:patrice:

Off you pop Neymar you dirty, horrible, diving, cheating, whining fuck.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil 1-2 Belgium, FT!!!!!!! Brazil OUT!!!

Braaaaa--zeel. :haha:

Favourites. :haha:

Samba football. :haha:

Neymar. :haha:

Marcelo. :haha:

Pele. :haha:

Titty. :haha:

Scolari. :haha:

Baptista. :haha:

Vermaelen. :bow: MotM.

[Power n Glory]

Theirry Henry with another victory over Brazil.

[Cripps]

Brazil :rose:

[SMatthews]

Fuck off Brazil. See ya.

[Cripps]

Gaymar :haha:

[Power n Glory]

Nahmar

[Cripps]

Theirry Henry with another victory over Brazil.

Titi :bow:

Bring him home :bow:

[Coney]

No more cheating South Americans in the competition.

[Power n Glory]

Only European teams left in the competition.

[Master Splinter]

De Bruyne is one of the few footballers you wouldn't mind paying ridiculous amounts for. He's mostly all substance and even on a crap day, he'll set up a sitter or bang one in.

Mourinho :haha:.

N_Q :haha:.

[SMatthews]

No more cheating South Americans in the competition.

Time for us to take over the mantle tomorrow.

[Marc Overmars]

Well done to Belgium. Looks like they’ve come of age and have to be considered the favourites now.

Henry to win the World Cup as a player and coach. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany: "This does not fucking slip"

Probably.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Not even the best Neymar in his family.

[Goonermerree]

Curtois was MOTM

[Marc Overmars]

Martinez a World Cup winning manager?

That would be weird.

[Mac76]

No more cheating South Americans in the competition.

Yeah just exciting flair teams left like sweden, ingerlurnd, russia...

[Cripps]

Imagine Fellaini with a world cup winners medal :haha:

[SMatthews]

You don’t need to be a great manager to win the WC but you have to understand tournament football. Seems like Martinez gets it.

[Marc Overmars]

Imagine Fellaini with a world cup winners medal :haha:

Plenty of GW villains with the opportunity to win it. :popcorn:

[Cripps]

The last team to beat Martinez in a competitive game was... Sunderland :haha:

[Mac76]

Klinsman laughing openly at all the bs from shearer and rio

[Cripps]

Wenger said a South American team wouldn't win a world cup in Europe

He's done it again :bow:

Big Weng :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

That was a blatant penalty to be fair. :haha:

[Mac76]

That was a blatant penalty to be fair. :haha:

He's done it again :bow:

Big Weng :bow:

:lol: What does it have to do with playing in Europe? They can't win in South America either.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol: What does it have to do with playing in Europe? They can't win in South America either.

1-7. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

LOL @ Arsenal for hiring the wrong Spanish manager and rejecting Henry.

Am I doing the f-grade WUMming correctly?

[Marc Overmars]

:lol: What does it have to do with playing in Europe? They can't win in South America either.

South America produces some great players but they haven't had a great team in years.

Europe is the centre of the footballing universe.
