The first half was completely under the control of Belgium. But in the second half they fell behind. France came on the truck very well and scored 3 goals. For me it was unexpected. I thought maybe in the second half would dominate the Belgian player. But suddenly the gameplay slows down. However, after a long time from France we got to see a good gameplay.
It has to be true and I think Belgium will do it again in the second half. But what happened was that Belgium was really depressed throughout the second half despite having won 2 goals since the first half. Before Benzema scored, I thought Belgium could still hold on and add one more goal against France but all else failed after Benzema scored from a mess in front of goal and since then Belgium have been a complete mess. This should be an important lesson for them even though they only have a chance to finish third if they win against Italy.

The France-Belgium match played yesterday was one of the best matches I've watched recently. Although Belgium seemed to cut France's ticket in the first half, France made a comeback with their great players. I can't forget Pogba's freekick shot, I wish there was a goal. It was a really sad defeat for Belgium, they think they deserve it, maybe they are right, but France did not allow it. In the second half, it was really difficult for them to keep the pressure.

In the first half Belgium actually played quite well, but after a 2-0 win it seemed they preferred to play it safe, even though Belgium continued to attack but it didn't look as effective as they did in the first half, I think France deserved to win in that match, because they saw the french players kept trying hard enough and never gave up even though they had conceded 2 goals, the final score of 2-3 was a testament to the incredible comeback from france. I can't wait to see the final of the nations league between spain and france of course it will be an ideal and quite balanced final.
Either side would have deserved to win but we thank them for giving us a match to watch rather than a draw to forget.
Yes, we can say that VAR intervened in the game, but the fact is that France managed to pull herself together and show a champion character. Belgium, after winning the first half, probably decided that victory was already guaranteed for them, but as it turned out, France had a different opinion. In any case, we watched a beautiful match with a lot of goals. Congratulations to France on the victory and reaching the final!
Yes,,, I was not saying anything bad about France's character at all. For sure when you win a match, everything you did as a mistake can be forgiven after all,,, all football teams have weaknesses and the point is to use your strengths to overcome and negate those weaknesses.
France skill versus Spanish revival it is!

How Belgium played in the first half i was thinking the final result would be 5-0 and in the second half its like a new France team showed up and started attacking hard.They deserved in the end the win,but they got really lucky that VAR disallowed Lukakus goal late in the game.
This has to be one of the most exciting matches and comeback matches in recent times. Till the half time, I was pretty sure that Belgium had the match in control. In fact Belgium was my favourite to win it. Carrasco and Lukaku gave them the lead but things changed after the half time. France came back with a bang and oh what a goal by Benzema. Later Mbappe converted the penalty in the 69th minute and Theo won it for them in the 90th minute.
Belgium lacks team spirit or experience... They have great players, the best attacking forwards as well as defenders... But for some reason in major competitions they always lose in semi-final matches... From 2014 to 2020 they regularly lose in 1/4 or 1/2 finals of World Cup or European Championship...
I guess this time they lost to the future champions of this Nations League...

The Belgium - France match was really awesome last night. I was expecting a competitive match but this was really huge. Belgium ended the first half 2-0 ahead and they were expecting a comfortable victory.
I came across this tweet at the end of the game and I laughed really hard.
It looks like one should never take something for granted before there is a certainty.
France made an insane comeback against Belgium and won by 3-2. They fully deserved to advance to the final round.

and I think Spain will beat France in the UEFA Nations League final later, and I also hope the game will last a long time and will win in the second extra time.
Spain is weaker than France but they are more united and with this power they can win the final match. If France can reunite and play the final match without internal conflict, they will win the final match and can enjoy it to forget the Euro 2020.I agree with you. If we buy comparisons of players from Spain and France, then the French team is many times stronger than Spain. But if we compare the team as a team, then of course Spain is more stable. Spain has become stronger since Luis Enrique took over as coach. The bonding between the players of the France team is not good. At the same time the players are not friendly. If the internal quarrel of the party is not resolved then it will not be strong as a team.
Impressive game. Unfortunately, i have to put up with any result. Today I was rooting for Belgium and it was one step away from victory, but France made a comeback plus won in the last minutes, a super offensive result. After such a match, it seems to me that France will be super strong, above all morally, and in the upcoming final it will be the clear favorite.
Belgium went from leading by 2 goals to a shamefull defeat by 2-3 goals which is due to several factors.. the awakening of the French team in the second half, weak and slow defense and some tactical mistakes also... After all it is a well merited win for France. 
If I judge France's victory which turned things around when Belgium played defensively in the second half because 2-0 in the first half ensured he would win, and in the second half France took the initiative to play attacking and the result France won the game by a score of 2-3.
and if belgium continue to do well like in the first half I think he will win and after the draw belgium tried to play like the first half but it was too late.
That match is splitted into half. The first half belongs to Belgium with two late goals. The second half belongs to France with three goals especially the late decisive goal. Benzema again shows that he is a best striker for France and the national team did not have him in many years is a joke.and if belgium continue to do well like in the first half I think he will win and after the draw belgium tried to play like the first half but it was too late.

I only watched until the first half ended, but because it was already 2.30 am I had to sleep and couldn't watch the second half anymore. I thought France really failed after losing by 2 goals, but I was surprised to find out that they came back in the second half with a final score of 3-2.
As I said before, France has a better history than Belgium when they played in a competition. France has a really good mentality, and of course, they also have good players. Despite being 2 goals behind Belgium, they were able to turn things around and win with a score of 3-2.
I guess France will also beat Spain in the final UEFA Nations League. Maybe they will win in extra time or in the penalty shootout.

The deceptive feeling of Belgium that they had pre-won this game by scoring 2 goals in a row played a cruel trick on them! Well done to the French for finding the strength to get back into the game! In my opinion, the teams' experience in similar tournaments played a decisive role here... And France proved to be stronger!
I really do not think we can say Belgium had a shameful defeat! They even had a goal ruled out because of VAR intervention, so they tried. France is a former and looking like a future world champion. No shame to lose to them and scoring 2 goals in return
Either side would have deserved to win but we thank them for giving us a match to watch rather than a draw to forget.

After all it is a well merited win for France. I did not follow the live odds during the match, but I would be interested to know what odds the bookmakers were offering after Belgium led 2-0. I think the chances of France winning were about 10, I envy those who dared to make a bet in such a situation. At the European championship, I made a similar bet (when the Germans suddenly began to lose to an outsider), but they let me down and did not win
Oh wow that was exactly what we all asked for. So many goals (and in fact Lukaku should have had one more and I would have won a special bet that said Lukaku would score more goals than Mbappe). He took the lead and then Mbappe "unfairly" equalized through the penalty.
What a great match though, I wonder what the live odds was for France after Half Time and down 0-2?
