England should be level, Rashford draws the save from Courtois, but i feel Rashford has to do better with it.
Januzaj gives Belgium the lead, Pickford wasn't keeping that one out. Pickford has been the busier of the two keepers so far.

Looks like a massive carve up so far to me hope Southgate has got this right or he will have to wear a brown paper bag on his head for all time! Columbia in the round of 16? good luck with that one!
While Colombia are the tougher Round of 16 opponent between them and Japan, the road to the Finals is much easier on England’s side of the bracket. To get the Final, England will have to beat Colombia, one of Sweden or Switzerland and then one of Spain, Russia, Croatia or Denmark. Belgium will have to beat Japan, then probably Brazil, then probably France or Argentina.
If England can beat Colombia, I see a spot in the semifinals for them.
France-Argentina on. Really pulling for Argentina. I need Messi to win a World Cup because he’s a better person Maradona and Argentina fans will never love Messi as much unless he gets a World Cup or Copa America
France awarded penalty after Argentina turn the ball over. Mbappe takes it all the way to the other box, where he’s fouled by Rojo. Greizmann calmly slots it home.
1-0 France. Argentina in a lot of trouble.
Rojo can have no complaints about the penalty award, Mbappe had pace to burn and then some. Keeper made it easy for Greizmann to score from the spot.
No idea what Argentina’s offensive gameplan is. They’re overloading the flanks, but nobody to pass it or cross it to in the middle. Doesn’t seem to be a much of a function of the France defense than it does Argentina not knowing what they’re doing.
A quality first time ball from Pogba to pick out Mbappe, the youngster wins the free-kick, his pace is causing no end of problems already in this game.
