    I am cheering for Brasil, but I am not even sure they should be regarded as the favorite in this match.

    I'll just say the winner today has a really good to win it all, excuse me the French.

    We often joke here that Belgium should just join the Netherlands (especially with the trouble Belgium has had with getting a government). 4 years ago we talked about how great a "lage landen" (low countries, basically The netherlands and Belgium) team would have been, taking the best players of both teams in 2014 would have been amazing. However If i look at it now I do not think that 1 dutch player would play in the starting eleven of a "lage landen" team....

    What a phenomenal run by Lukaku. He's absolutely dominated this World Cup.

    Fellaini's clearing header 1/3 of the way upfield got it started. Yuge.

    Lukaku is a monster. I also don't know how anyone beats this Belgian team in the air.

    Hazard running on the break is majestic.

    Brasil is in a deep dodoo. Needs to be super aggressive, but it leads itself open to those deadly counter attacks.

    That 6th star will have to wait another 4 years...
