Alright, that was okay I guess.
Belgium is still renewing the team, it seems more promising now that the last World Cup.
Good luck France for the rest of the tournament!

Nice to see the fairplay between the teams! They seem to get along.

France is about as clinical as the witch herbologist doctor next door who reads people’s palms
- Après vu le nombre d'occasions, ça risque de finir par rentrer
  
  je te jure si ca finit sur un but dernière minute de la belgique…

Why did the Belgians supporters whistle the French hymn?
Be respectful,, damn.
- Yeah, pretty ashamed of my countrymen... Frenchmen often joke that we still haven't digested our loss at the World Cup. Seems like they are right.
  
  Dat denk ik niet, het lijkt meer op stress dan op iets anders. Tegen Roemenië waren er mooie acties, hier zien we dat de Belgische spelers gespannen zijn.

I don't see Belgium winning unfortunately
- Doku sur les matches de poule c'était quand même pas mal, pas mal de belles actions, mais ici effectivement pas dingue.
  D'ailleurs Mbappé semble en sous-forme aussi

That yellow card was weird
- That.referee was weird.
- A lot of yellow cards against the French, some of them not seeming deserved

Ouch, that head was close
- France is increasing the pressure 😰
  
  This is getting really tough
  
  😥

A bit too shy from Carrasco! Let's hope they continue like that

That KDB shot!

Errrrf. It was going to happen I guess
- Oui oui c'est sûr, il y a eu un grand nombre d'occasions en peu de temps, à un moment c'était clair que ça allait finir par passer

Crap, feel bad for De Ketelaere, first minutes in this Euro a few minutes from being knocked out

Belgium struggles to build, quite worrying

France are getting a few good shots here
- They're going to score at some point if this continues 😅
  
  Indeed 😅

Dang, France is collecting yellows
- Definitely

Nice debrief from Kevin De Bruyne. He's sad of course, but still positive.

Interesting analysis from the Belgian commenter, he's quite upset about today's strategy and the group phase
"Everything is smiling and say that everything is good, but it's not that good"

I see why De Bruyne plays lower to defend more, but seems hard to get a goal with him so low
- That's apparently about to change, let's see

No mask for Mbappe in the end?
- Ok, he just didn't wear it to choose the side

Even Tedesco got a yellow ha ha

game is fought to decide once and for all where the french fry comes from.

Nice attempt just now

De Bruyne plays very low, I'm not sure why

Dangerous shot from Mbappe
