That should be a red for de Bruyne

Trossard's footballing IQ is negative infinity

Trossard's best attribute is his cold blood in finishing situations. In all other facets of the game he's lacking, but that one thing he does well wins games, ask Arsenal fans.

Romanian team too much chumba and not enough wumba

Group E final day is going to be wild.

They do have the benefit of playing on the last day of matches so they'll all have a sense of how many points it'll take to advance in third place, but right now it looks to me like Slovakia and Romania are best served by playing for a draw. Just looking at things now I think 4 points and an even GD is most likely enough, and Slovakia would be in that third place spot at an even GD. If both matches draw Ukraine is the odd one out on GD, so they're actually the only team in the group with incentive to win 3 points - and they have a tough assignment in Belgium.

That said, no guarantees so I'm sure all four will be playing to win, if only just to get in form for the knockouts.

I can't seem to find any info about it online but a friend who was at the game told me that immediately after Belgium scored a streaker tried to get on the pitch only to be stopped by the stewards lol

I saw on twitter there were a couple of attempts to get on the field in this game.

Major problem in Atlanta for the Copa. 5 or 6 different people tried getting on the pitch to take a photo with Messi.

There is something so entitled and mentally damaged about doing this.

Yeah, so would I, but I'm not going to jump out of a bathroom stall when he's in there to get one.

Right through our goalkeeper's shin. But de Bruyne is getting the Messi treatment from UEFA
