    As a Rockets fan and Belguim fan i dont know what else i can say about the refs that i didn't say already.

    Very disappointed but proud, finally had the chance too see belguim playing in the wc semis.

    Bless all the refs out there. I would never want that job for any sport.

    Good game though I expected it to be more like 2-1. Surprised Belgium couldn't get one. Lukaku looked off today. The were crosses there for him and he kept reacting late. France did well to limit Hazard's damage to outside the 18.

    Can't wait for tomorrow!

    Belgium missed too many opportunities.

    Lukaku and De Bruyne were complete disappointments.

    Hazard was the only one playing with any sense of urgency and he got smacked to the ground at the end as the refs turned blind.

    Adam Silver would be proud.

    So far, this WC has been amazing.

    This occurred to me earlier: The difference between the two types of football is...

    International football announcer, in measured tones: "Sad to report, but there seems to be a distinct dearth of guile on the part of the Belgian side today."

    American football announcer, spraying spittle: "Boom, boom, BOOM! He just ran right at ’em and flattened everyone!”

    How do you pronounce De Bruyne?

    I heard a Belgian recently pronounce it in a manner completely different to how the global media and fans pronounce it.

    At first sight i thought it was song by Clouseau one of my favorite belgian bands, and there song Daar gaat ze("there she goes") would be perfect way too send Belguim national team home

    Good question, i don't know what he told you and i'm not sure how to explain pronunciation online so i think the best way to explain would be letting De Bruyne himself explain it.
