Belgium had 60% possession and only 9 goal attempts while France had 40% possession and 19 goal attempts. I think Belgium's manager Roberto Martinez knew that his team might have problems in the back against the speedy French attackers like Mbappe and Griezmann and he tried to slow down the game with Belgium holding the ball more. I think he got his tactics wrong for the match though. Belgium should have let France be in their half of the field most of the time and then try to score on the counter attack.

Uh I knew it Belgium defense is really sucks and i'm not surprised that France won on that match. What I really mad is that france players wasting time so many times on 2nd half and the extra time. That mbappe last moment on extra time is hilarious though, wasting time and get yellow card.

Not only France but any team when get the first goal and they know that they cannot make another goal then it is only the best way is to waste time and win the match. This is the most common strategy of most of the big teams when competing with strong opponent. The final result should be to win it. Even Belgium was having more possession of Ball but even then they were not able to make a goal.

Now waiting for today match between Croatia vs England hope that Croatia win the match and make for Final and compete with France.

Look at my prediction https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.41902836, France team is my favorite for winning this world champion, I thought it`s safe bet on draw in halftime, only mistake I made is goals on both sides, I really thought that Belgium will score at least one goal.
In last game Croatia had problems with injured players, Vrsaljko will not play, goalkeeper also had problem, Mandzukic could`t play the end, looks like Croatian team is very tired. England is weaker team in this match by their previous games, but I believe they can win tonight. It will be a hard game, Croatians last two games are won after penalties, will they go all the way to penalties again? Third time in a row? I`m thinking to make that bet just in case, but who knows. I will take a bit more time for thinking before I make couple bets for this game. Draw and under 1.5 goals is my first couple bets, I think there will be not so much goals like in previous games.

Shame that Belgium ha to go out. But they have played very well in this tournament, and can hold themselves with high regards. On paper, France had the better team, but to have kept the score very close 1-0 and also concede from a set-piece shows real spirit and fight. Now I will support France for the finals. Tomorrow we see who will join them,

I see belgium games and french, and I think belgium play less well then. seeing them trouble getting out of Francis. to see them their striker lukaku like the dead man can not move and does not get many good chances. very difficult to penetrate the French defense. this is french who play very well. however, I still support English today to be able to meet with french.

Belgium have shown their best performance but France are a bit more luckier. Tonight we will see Croatia vs England and The Three Lions is more favored in this match. This will certainly be interesting and there may be a new surprise.

Congrats

About the game, Roberto Martinez deserves to get sacked after Belgium's atrocious performance tonight. Just wtf was he thinking whe he decided to play Fellaini as a forward next to (or behind) Lukaku? and when he wasn't in the 18-yard box he was playing as a winger...wtf? but let's say Martinez wanted to play Fellaini because he can defend in corners or set pieces since France have several aerial threats...but he still failed to do that! Umititi scored mainly because of Fellaini's mistake :S

I thought Martinez was going to use the same tactics against Brazil, but I was wrong, Belgium's gameplan were just crosses and more crosses. And it was so obvious that Umtiti and Varane were pretty much dominating every ball in the air, yet Martinez kept the same gameplan until the 80' min when he decided to bring in Mertens. And what's with the last sub in the 90' min? you're getting KO'd from the WC and you wait until the last minute to make a change?

Props to Hazard, though, he was brilliant today, but he can't carry the whole team on his back...Chadli was awful, same as Dembele, De Bruyne was lost, Lukaku was invisible, etc etc, they just felt like a different team today.

All in all, underwhelming match, France and Deshamps outplayed Belgium.

The sub was at the 91st minute. What were they thinking of doing in 2 minutes that they couldn't do in 90 minutes earlier.

Belgium had an awesome streak going on this world cup, but poor managment fucked that up. Belgium could have played better, had someone helped Hazard to score one goal at least. Looking at the stats, its just horrible. Belgium only had 9 shots(3 on target) while France had 19 shots(5 on target). And Belgium had 16 fouls. Belgium had good passes, but they couldn't just get pass through Varane and Umtiti. Also, surprisingly this was Belgium's first defeat since 2016 friendly game against Spain. I thought Belgium might just have a chance here, but sadly that didn't go well.

Today France was on and Belgium was mistressly on wrong line as they fail to stop them and completely fail to produce any goal which is very poor from them I was expecting good fight but France is playing like champion and they deserve this win and world cup with good plan and good game

Unfortunately cannot follow the whole game but as I saw at the end, the game was boring, too much time killing comparing to the other matches. Anyway, Belgium has lost a great opportunity and France made a good step, apparently they will have this world cup if Croatie or England didn't show exceptional performances...

Surprising to see how it's panned out this year, English have always failed me when betting, despite always having a strong team. I guess they're finally showing their stuff, but it might not be enough to see it through to the end.

I beg to differ but this English side is quite different and have shown that they don't disappoint. If they were to be playing against Belgium I might be sceptical but against Croatia I think they can sail through so I am betting on England.

I'm just talking in terms of past experience, England has usually had quite a solid team, and yet failed to reach the final rounds. Probably because the competition has been much stronger in previous years.

I think both teams will try to play it slow and be careful on the defence. I have HT 0-0 and under 2.5 goals. I will bet on a penalty in the match as well. Cheers Cheesy

under 2.5? that's bold. I went with +2.5 goals @2.05 and BTTS @1.80. We're going to see the likes of Griezmann, Mbappe, Hazard, Lukaku, De Bruyne, Pogba, etc, and these kind of players make me think we're going to see offensive football from both sides.

Real Madrid dominance era is over without CR7.

Very unlikely. They'll just get the next superstar (Neymar, Hazard, Kane, etc) and continue it's dominance.

Haha mate I nailed both my bets tonight. It wasn't a bold move just a carefully calculated one. When 2 strong attacking sides face each other it's better to play it safely in the back than trying to outscore the opposition. And an important reminder - these superstars can have a bad day and not score a goal.

France going thru is not a big surprise.
Once they score a goal they usually go on to win because they just play defensive all the way and waste as much time as possible to close out the match.
They are masters of this tactic. Grin

It is looking like it will come down to an England and France finals.
I would go with France to hoist the trophy this year like they did some 20 years ago.

Shame about Belgium going out. Both sides have played very well but France's defense has been unbreakable. I don't think either Croatia or England will give any bother to France now so my money would be on them to lift the trophy.

This would be a tough game.
Belgium and France both plays aggressive game while both of their defenses are still to be tested.
I think France has a better defense but they are poor in finishing the goal shot which is better with belgium.
+2.5 goal seems safe bet for the game.

2.5 is surely not a safe one I'm going with +2 which is still a decent bet as i have a feeling that it is going to go extra time for sure and if needed penalties would also take place. Most of you going with +2.5 is because of France attack but don't forget Belgium has a solid defense

Of the two teams I honestly think Belgium has a better defence and attack by far despite France been considered
the favourites for this match and today will be about the team that needs it the most and Belgium happens to be the team that looks more hungry as they displayed their intensions when knocking out Brazil who where among the favourites of the game.
And frankly I don't see France posing a treat in this fixture
My Prediction: Belgium 2-1 France

I don't think so, do you watch the previous match Japan vs Belgium? They almost lose against Japan man, Belgium defense is not that good and also France attack is also good. On the other hand Belgium forward and striker also good, i can see many goals will happen in this match.
