haha! Aye. Not seen a second of Belgium if I am honest Dave. Hope he does ok with them actually. Good cup manager, (as I have said numerous times), they played well?

Didn't see it mate. Just seen the result.

Nah, tactical genius Gareth will lob Jordan Henderson into the Spurs team, (plus Rashford), and fight them on the beaches.

Always works that.

Who they played? They qualified a match or 2 back I thought.

Bosnia.

They did, yeah. Kept their focus well given what Armel said above about usually switching off.

It was a good match, but the defending should be better against better teams. Was a good watch though; up and down football. Good substitutes too, Mertens wasn't playing well (clearly didn't want to be injured so he didn't give his all) and with Tielemans in the squad it was better.

Shame that Fellaini injured his knee ligaments; Manchester United will miss him.

He has some more than decent players to work with. Wish him well me.

Well its better than defending a 0-1 loss.

A loss is a loss. I take no joy from an Everton defeat regardless of how "entertaining" it was. Be it a 5-4 defeat or a 1-0 defeat im not walking away from that match happy.

Sounds familiar!

Fellaini: the Kopites always get some break.

Yes but at least you may stand a chance of winning by having shots and attacking etc....

Bob no longer manages us and therefore I'm not really bothered about what he does, but yay Belgium.

Knowledgable and courteous.

He's guided your country very nicely to the WC.
