I read that FIFA were stopping those payments after his behaviour in the last game

Should be a good game... About to start...

Three Lions vs Red Devils

A friend told me that neither England not Belgium should want to win this match, because the team who finish second may have an easy way to the semifinals, based on the opponents. Basically, they won't cross with Brazil.

That would favor a 0-0 final score. We'll see

From what I've seen till now Brazil are looking very, very good, but... every game is different, so we'll see.

Nice goal Belgium

 

[BRANDERX]

Brilliant goal

 

[TCK]

So England is winning this one?

England's forward just had an open net and purposely put the ball outside. But got corner anyway even with no touch from goalie.

Rushford was selfish... could have passed to Vardie for a sure goal...
