      I couldn’t see how var could get it wrong so right decision for me

      You look at Spain’s starting 11 and it’s the weakest it has been for years.

      Certainly think have a chance. Senegal are not great. Sarr is they’re biggest threat and he’s far to inconsistent. Get through and it be France then it’s a very winnable tie in the last 4.

      Croatia have been very disappointing but Belgium were a joke.

      Kdb very disappointing

        Sean.Can you add context to the KdB comment ? I agree if your compairing his club form to
        his world cup performances.But you need to take into account the squad he’s in

        How many of the ones below would you have in Liverpool’s first team (or even squad?

        I’d only take Trossard and punt’s on Doku & Onana for our matchday squad

        The Ed also touched on a big part of the problem earlier.Martinez being out of his depth

        Edin Hazard has been shocking since he left Chelsea.I know he’s been injured a fair bit though
        Same for Lukaku.He’s turned into shit since Chelsea bought him

        Nine “How the hell did Chelsea get £85M for Hazard when he only had 12 months left
        on his contract”?

          Nine yeah, unfortunately, it’s one of those. Finest of margins. Getting a little like Tennis in which you can understand the person’s frustration on the wrong end of that type of call.

                PPT, I don’t disagree with your comments about that Belgium side. I touched on that on page 1 of this thread before the tournament. I said then the only player who’d get into England’s side is KDB. Still it’s not a GREAT side but it’s a half decent side which should have had more than enough to get out of that group. I think it’s not quite 1 superstar and a team of nobodies like Sweden with Zlatan, Wales with Bale or Poland with Lewandowski over the years. Still, all those players pulled their teams through and shone as individuals in poor teams. KDB should have been lifting this overrated team or at least performing as an individual. Him coming out and dismissing Belgium’s chances certainly won’t have helped. I think both can be true. It is a poor team and Martinez is a poor manager but I still think it doesn’t exempt individuals from criticism. He performed far below what we’ve come to expect from him. The world’s best need to perform in any situation, not only when they’re surrounded by superstars. Still a great player, though, don’t get me wrong (not that that was ever in doubt, mind).

                  Ghana should be 1 up and against 10 men, yet they’re 2 down against 11!! Funny old game!

                      PPT, Hazard was one of the best ever players it was my pleasure to watch at the Bridge and was at the height of his form when he left Chelsea.

                      Sadly since moving to Real he has been plagued by injuries inc 2 broken legs and a cracked ankle.

                      Your fee for Hazard is seemingly a bit too low.

                      “As per the MailOnline, Hazard earned his former club a £15 million windfall following his current side’s European win. The payment is due to a clause in the Belgian’s contract following his transfer back in 2019 for a total of £103 million including performance-related add-ons.”29 May 2022

                            Man, that is sad. That’s actually Portugal’s doing!

                            Poor Suarez. Last WC.

                                Cavani’s was a Pen. Clumsy and should have been given.

                                    Would that be the Cavani “I’ll deliberately stick my leg in front of the defenders so we all fall over and go fishing for a peno” penalty? Cavani instigated 100% of the contact for that “challange” and was never a peno in a million years!

                                        The Ghanaians aren’t fussed about going out simply because Suarez the cheat also went out 😄. You can’t really blame them can you? Suarez was a wonderful player but one of them who you hated unless he was in your team

                                            The last few days of this tournament really has been entertaining. It’s the spontaneity emerged and the unpredictable outcomes. Knockout stages going forward should be equally fun.
