If Im belgium, the half was off to a good start. No need to do any drastic changes, just weak on set pieces like mathguy said

France strikes first of a set piece. Big fro gets beat
the Alderwield , or whatever his name was, got beat man to man and then Fro got beat to the front post somehow. Just a failure all around

This Chadli guy is who they needed to step up with how France is defendings de Bruyne. I could see him being the first sub off, he's not getting it done. Its almost like he is closing his eyes when he crosses it in, doesnt seem to be targetting anyone.

There is no way Giroud was onside there, right?

belgium has found something down the right side with the addition of Mertens, combining with chadli and de bruyne
Mertens crosses much better than chadli

#22 for Belgium is worthless. Sideshow Bob almost scored.

Too much stagnation on the front line for my liking for Belgium

If France advances, Giroud needs to be on the bench. Terrible tournament for him.

That's a horrible decision to give that card. The French player actually created the contact.

seems bizarre that their current formation results in Feillani being outwide often

I think he opens the field up for Mbappe and Griezmann. But I could be totally wrong.

That's about Witzels 4th foul and that wasn't pretty. He just gets a "bad boy" talk.

Ref goofed that sub. How do you do that with headsets?

And that was a bad bad miss. Even the French players knew it.

If he came to A&M we could get a D1 mens team.

Ref will call the shirt tugs for Mbappe but not the obvious foul on Hazard?

Clumsy Giroud again, and no foul called. Good job, ref... Fall for France's antics, but not an actual foul.

witsel with the blast out of nowhere

hazard has dropped a little deeper, and is going on dangerous dribble runs

this ref is not giving hazard the benefit of the doubt at all

This crew was a political appointment. He hasn't had a great set of games earlier and was easily the 3rd best CONMEBOL crew. He got this game because of politics

In two minutes he missed a card on Fellaini for the shirt pull stopping Mbappe, the sub and the clear foul on Hazard.

I guess the ref is only going to call fouls on Belgium, France can do no wrong....
