He was at Boro before Everton. Still half decent for the former. Don't remember him doing a lot at the latter.

Yep. He went to Middlesbrough straight from us, and was deep into both his thirties and his issues with alcohol by the time he went to Everton.
I'm surprised he got that many games for both of them.

Fascinating re-watching the build up to that. We had a massive inferiority complex even back then.
Was it? They had the Germans rightly as favourites. That's not a complex.
Have you watched it? Listen to the way the commentary/pundit team were talking, it's as if we had no chance at all.
At the time we were coming off a five year European ban and had done sweet FA since 1966, whilst they were trying to reach their 4th World Cup final in the last 5. It's understandable.
I can’t tell if Belgium are going 4 at the back with Chadli/Vertonghen either side or Dembele as a wing back.
Pavard is about to molested nonetheless. This will be another high scoring game.
Poor bastards don't even know they're just playing for the right to be runners-up.

I've never noticed just how much Umtiti looks like Ron Funches.
That's pretty cool that Belgium have beaten a team from every FIFA confederation so far.
France must have the quickest players per position in the world. Varane in centre half, Hernandez at full back, Kante in centre mid, Dembele on the wing and obviously Mbappe up front.
Mbappe move to Madrid confirmed if he scores at this rate.
Anyone in this tournament trying to run with Mbappe is like a charity game where some game show host is trying to mark Usain Bolt.
France are all over the place here.
That's a cracker of save.
Can't have even expected Vertonghen to get that out.
Edit: Or Toby even.
It pains me to say this give who's responsible, but Belgium look so so good.
It's like watching a very well oiled and top quality club side so far.
Giroud still on 0 shots on target in the tournament.
And he’s still boss
Giroud is awful.
Belgium need to revert back to the 3 roaming up front. Bring Vermaelen (sp?) or move Dembele over to cover.
Lukaku keeps getting offside the sneaky fucker.
I think Griezmann isn’t as much of a world beater as some say. He’s probably one of those guys who’d drop down a notch if he left Atletico
Don’t really have much faith in Martinez to change it up here.
He's been very average this tournament no doubt. He was much better at the Euro though.Originally Posted by mugbull

Fellaini you nonce.
Fellaini's hair assisting the goal
Running wild.
Is Mick Jagger alright?
I wonder who we've taken to sit next to Infantino and awkwardly shake hands when someone scores.
That could well have been the best goal I've seen in a while and then Giroud happened.
That skill was ludicrous.
Ashley Young marking him out of the final.
It's almost worth invading Qatar and forcing them to sell Mbappe to a someone in a proper league, what a fucking waste he'll be at PSG.
Varane has been immense.
Looking forward to Phonics telling us all how Giroud fucking every opportunity is somehow not his fault.
Chadli over De Bruyne on corners is as bad as Kane taking them.

That's Neymar levels of shit from Umtiti.
He's genuinely been useless in basically every game this tournament.Looking forward to Phonics telling us all how Giroud fucking every opportunity is somehow not his fault.
He's improved the build-up massively though compared to that Dembele/Griezmann/Mbappe frontline.
De Groiny been shat.
Has Thierry Henry grown that terrorist beard to fit in?
Ye, I understand why he's the one that plays. He still does better than the alternatives.
Belgium look like they’ll go out with a whimper. De Bruyne’s lost feeling in both his legs i think
How is Chadli still on the pitch
VAR has suddenly gone quiet
Hazard staying down instead of helping that attack sums him up.
