The first semi-final sees 1998 champions France playing Belgium, who are unbeaten in a ridiculous number of consecutive matches.
The game is live on BBC. Please use this thread for speculation, pre and post match chat on the France v Belgium game. How do you see this going? |

Draw in 90 minutes for me. France have the better players man for man, but depends who takes control of the game as both sides can be devastating on the counter.

I'm going to say Belgium win 2-1. It looks like it'll be a very close game if both teams play well and there are no hiccups (player sent off/injury etc).

As I said I just think Belgium will edge this by a goal. Expect both sides to go right at it though, cant wait!

I hope (and think) this will be a classic, I will be rooting for Belgium and I think they can win it.
3-2 to Belgium! |

This match is the hardest for me to predict so far in the World Cup. Both teams look quite evenly matched but I think Belgium will get past France here, they made a statement by knocking out a lot of peoples favourites Brazil in an impressive manner and the confidence that was gained by not only that match but the comeback win against Japan should inspire them to victory.

That's the biggest factor for me in tipping for Belgium, they've had to fight back from the brink at least once which is what every Champion generally has to do at some point. OK so France did temporarily trail to Argentina but at no point did I not think they wouldn't win that particular match.

I'm going for a draw, but I fancy France to win. Technically they are the better team, but it's whether they jel on the day. For me Belgium used a lot of their luck in the Brazil game and while they were impressive, they were very fortunate to win the game in normal time. For that reason I'm going for a draw, as I think both teams will cancel each other out and be quite cagey.

Furthermore, I think this game could end up going to Penalties

Hoping that this will be a good game and I'm not disappointed unlike that Holland v Argentina semi-final from 4 years ago.
