wendyredredrobin Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 So who do we want to win this one? France or Pseudo France? If we can beat Croatia, I would rather meet Belgium in the final. To me, France look like the best of the remaining 4 teams, though the Belgians can't be discounted having beaten England B and Brazil along the way. France look strong in all areas of the pitch other than Giroud has never really impressed me but Belgium seem to rely on 3 or 4 key players with Hazard capable of undoing any team, Lakaku strong in attack, De Bruyne scary and a good keeper in Tortoise other than the howler he made the other day. I'm quite looking forward to this one and think it has the potential to be the best game of the two semi finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Is it still the case that dead Belgians don't count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Not too bothered either way, if we were to get to the final we would have a good chance against them both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Odd the semifinals are on different days. So far the English have cruised the tournament and I believe you can make up for the disadvantage. Logically the moral final is played tonight and they will batter each other.

yardy Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I don't think it matters to much who we play, we will have our work cut out against either of them. Hoping for a good game, lots of goals, extra time and pens and red cards and injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Put a bet on France to win, both teams to score. Can see De Bruyne creating plenty of chances, though France aren't terrible defensively. Been having some banter with a couple of French and they will be unbearable if they won the World Cup, particularly if they beat England in the final, so hoping Belgium win.

BRISTOL86 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Quite want France to win just so that if we get to the final we don’t face a team we've already played. Even though the teams will be much different, it feels weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
