Hoping and feeling that Belgium can win this.

Kanté may be the best player in the world but I hope he has an off day in the semi-final.

De Bruyne, Hazard, Lukaku vs Griezmann, Mbappe and Giroud.

Really looking forward to this game. This feels like the winner from this match will end up winning the whole thing

I have always rooted for France in tournaments since Zidane won in 1998 so I will root for them ( only if Iceland is not playing which is most of the times ) but i really like Belgium and if they win I want them to win it all

Living here I don't mind it being a legendary match but hope Belgium win. My life will become unbearable if France win (until England win another title haha).

Why does Giroud keep getting called up with the national team?

Feel bad for the guy but could be a blessing in disguise for France if Giroud leaves the field

Huge miss by Pavard/save by Curtois. Pavard, the Fabio grosso of this tournament, is likely to score. Trust
