really a lot of good to pick out from les bleus who frustrated the Belgians immensely while still being on the verge of a breakdown countless times.

Varane is having some WC. Umtiti made me nervous but that header, wowza

Kante/Pogba, what more can be said. Matuidi played like a lion. As usual his technical limitations can be tedious, but he more than makes up for it in his forward movement

Giroud went back to his mineworker gameplan and was our best defender at times. Idgaf about our centre forward still lacking a goal, worked well enough in 98

Mbappe can be annoying but he is key to making things happen. And he is getting good at provoking the opponent, even with that Argentinian-type yellow card in injury time

OOOh boy this feels good. Part of me now wants to see England in the final to make it "more" classic, but I certainly won't be sad if our Croatian brethren pull it off tomorrow.
