More rolling around antics, from Mbappe this time. At least he got a card for it this time.

If that is the only way to win win how can you look in the mirror every morning? It's time that the authorities had a right clamp down.I can't remember any Rovers fans praising Lewis Guy for his Tom Daley impressions. There is no room in the fame for it.
Belgium's front 3 are the best front 3 in history and are carrying an otherwise 6/10 side. Their trophy to lose now.

But with VAR it doesn't work, which is or isn't a bad thing depending on everyone's own personal viewpoint on VAR.

They were lucky Belgium.

I was dead against it beforehand as I didn't think it was ready but it's improved the game loads. It's got nearly everything right too, probably 95% or more so the game is all the better for it.Not liked it one bit during last season whenever I've seen it, largely due to the haphazard way it was implemented by some officials (see Mainz's VAR controversy for an example) but I agree - at the World Cup it's been very good and implemented properly.If Neymar hadn't spent most of the tournament pissing about, he might have got that penalty around the hour mark tonight.

As much as I want England to win today and to do well at the World Cup, is anyone else thinking all the #itscominghome stuff is a bit premature?Enjoy the occasion today, Sweden aren’t a pushover but we have a good chance of reaching the semi final for the first time in a generation..
