France pouring it on now. Belgium needs to get their shit together...

That was pure genius by Mbappe, and it should have paid off.

Fellaini was feeling it. Just wide.

How do you miss that call?

Huge miss on the Hazard no-call at the top of the box.

Dammit, Belgium.

****ing France is going to win the WC, aren't they?

Great defense
One bad markup on the French corner
One egregiously missed call

And Belgium goes home after dominating the match.

You forgot the kickass French keeper.

Hope Hugo can play that way during EPL and the Champions League.

Both keepers were badass, but I included Lloris in the 'great defense' part.

There is a pattern of non/missed calls when France is involved in the Work Cup

But there really was just the one.

Belgium walked the painful razor's edge of always menacing but never capitalizing.

De Bruyne was delivering pure magic about 5mm beyond Lukaku's reach all day.

Hazard was winding through everything, only to have the last pass fall to no effect.

France earned the win, and that missed call was not a gimme.

If there were things I'd have hoped for in Belgium's favor, it'd be just a little more speed and touch for Lukaku, and a better compliment than Chidli.
