Cheap indeed for a French side of this quality, but I guess they're under a lot of pressure to succeed in Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Spain and Italy's absence. They must win it at whatever cost.
Unluckily Belgium, France are very strong.
But disappointed for Belgium, bit of a good fortune for France with the goal, but hats off to both keepers, they were both top draw.
Belgium had like 90% passing accuracy.. damn. They didnt have any close chance other than the one shot the whole game. both luko luko and debruyne were absent..
Hazard deserved a free kick behind the box, wasn't given.
rm screwed up by starting demble all of a sudden.
never dick around with a winning line up.that's rule#1.
i did not get that at all.he will be second questioning
himself for the next few months about that move.
Ref was OK and liked the fact he didn't reach for a card on a lot of occasions others might have.. only not giving a free kick to Belg. at the end was the flaw.
Belgium looked vulnerable against Japan, and Brazil. They were a very good team, but I think they went as far as they could have. France showed moments of beautiful football today. I wish they could have sustained it. It was an open match by both teams and France created a lot more chances.
