Just a bit, nice to see cheats not prospering. Danny Murphy said if he had behaved like that when he was playing his family would have gone ballistic at him. Imagine Neymar showing his grandchildren the videos one day, "here I am rolling in pretend agony........and here I am trying to con the referee into giving a penalty".........utterly cringe worthy! Looking at the penalty review I'm slightly glad he didn't get it due to his previous play acting despite it should have actually been a penalty. Shows cheating is not the way forward and what it can land you in. Concensous in the pub I was watching was it should not have been a penalty as the ball was already out of play when the offence happened |

I thought it was a penalty although the ball might have been out of play and it was a ridiculous challenge to have made on a player who wasn't really going anywhere. Not that I'd have any sympathy for Brazil after all Neymar's theatrics. |

Not that I'd have any sympathy for Brazil after all Neymar's theatrics. It was a definite penalty indeed and replays showed the first contact on Jesus by Kompany was before the ball went out. I agree with all the stuff about Neymar but I still wanted them through - he has had a poor tournament and I felt he should of actually been dropped especially as he was hampering Marcelo who was Brazil's best player yesterday. |

In the end it was very poor finishing. Belgium eventually got far fewer chances and made them count. Brazil in contrast had chance galore right from the beginning (they looked so good at the onset) but then were so useless when it came to the last shot / pass |

It’s increasingly looking like an England - France final now!

It’s increasingly looking like an England - France final now! I agree about France, as for England I'd rather not tempt fate. It's likely to be a tough game today against a dogged Sweden team. |

Not to mention that if they do manage to et through they'll then have either Russia or Croatia to get through as well and neither of those teams will go down without a fight. |

Not quite sure what Sterling was trying to do by the end of that first half.

So far so good, should be more than one goal ahead but it just won't happen for Raheem Sterling!

Surreal experience watching England coast a World Cup quarter final.
If one Harry doesn't get you the other one will.
