Belgium should be ahead by now with the chances they've had, but haven't looked anything too special.

Who loks the more likely to score?

Belgium do, if benteke wasn't injured they might be winning now

Best thing about tonights match has been Danny Murphy's commentary.

Extra time looms...

Why can't they? Everyone has a right to an opinion.

No you are right they were all top players who played at the highest level so have earned the right to criticise when a player shoots over or gets caught offside. It was just my observation on the standard of the newer pundits like Clark Carlisle, Danny Murphy, Phil Neville, Robbie Savage and Kevin Kilbane. You may like them but I just find them all very dull. I suppose they are better than Andy Townshend though.

What a great chance missed by USA right at end of normal time

Belgium finally score 1-0 De Bruyne

I see your point and agree about all them pundits mentioned being shite, with the exception of Murphy who I've not heard but I heard he's been good on commentary. if you have to be as good to criticise Messi then no one could criticise him so he can't just be above criticism.

I do however think the criticism of Messi is unfair, not because he's Messi and is above us all. but that the pressure on him, similar to Neymar is enormous. these 2 are literally expected to bring the trophy home single handedly as Brazil's team is shite bar 2 or 3 players and Argentina just haven't seemed to have gotten into any sort of stride.

I changed my mind now. Go Team Belgium

I am getting fed up with all these extra time goals. I like to see a good old penalty shootout.
