Didn't think goals from corners counted anymore? Or is that only when it's England? 

[grff]

That flick

[Nordan]

Sweet move.

[GunmaN1905]

What a pass.

[EnterUsernameHere]

Oh my Mbappe 

[Andrew_]

Giroud ruining Mbappe's moment.

[Baptista_8]

Mbappe

[Djstu23]

What a goal that would've been

[elgreenio]

BBC commentary box is full of semen right about now

[Haguey]

Haha, give him the next 10 Ballon d'Ors.

[deltablue]

I think Giroud was an imperial stormtrooper in a past life.

[dking]

Some of Frances passages of play have been superb. Almost as good as LFC's!

[Barry Cartman]

Dembele saved himself then after being the one who gave it away, great tackle 

[georginho_juventusygr]

I want extra time.

[westy8chimp]

You can take the Michael... But isnt anyone else sick of all these goals from corners and pens now? 

We got a statto geek here? Someone tell me this is a record for any football competition ever... Goals from set pieces ratio? 

[daylight]

Dembele was poor, also a poor choice for the manager trying to fit him in.

[sammayel666]

Dembele off for Mertens

[GunmaN1905]

Lloris had to get Mertens' cross, they got lucky there.

[craigcwwe]

Penny for Henry's thoughts right now?..

[Haguey]

Kevin

Good point. I'd rather they had left it until after tonight's match, but playing it at the half-time interval makes more sense than before kick-off.

Also because BBC dont have breaks they need a lot more filler

[artest]

ohhh kdb

Hazard taking one for KdB there

They need good delivery, right height, correct speed, and timely header. England have done well so far. They hopefully can add many more in the coming days.

[Barry Cartman]

Why is KDB not taking corners and is instead on the halfway line defending :/

He had to do it though, that would have been a great chance for France if he hadn't.

He won't be able to do another one though.   

[craigcwwe]

Really not a fan of Lloris. 

[Bliss Seeker]

Come on Belgium. We want a long long long extra time!

Oh, it was absolutely the right call from Hazard there, but he's the last player Belgium can afford to lose

[Haguey]

Really been poor tonight De Bruyne.

[EnterUsernameHere]

Giroud...

[sammayel666]

De Bruyne not playing well here

[Barry Cartman]

KDB having a mare 2nd half 

[themadsheep2001]

Madrid counting up how much it will cost to try and pry Mbappe away

[Djstu23]

Both squads are ridiculous in strength, really don't see England/Croatia beating one of these two.

Have to get there first though

They'll probably just hand over a signed blank check!

[Baptista_8]

Dislikeable player Umtiti.

[daylight]

FFS! get up!

[craigcwwe]

Umtiti.

KDB and Lukaku have really let Belgium down tonight. Hazard having to do far too much attacking work right now.

Mertens has helped though. 

[dking]

KDB looking a bit tired.

It hit him right in the jaw, you could even see it move on the replay.

Really uncomfortable, that. 

[Bliss Seeker]

COME ON BELGIUM YOU BUNCH OF COFFEE MUNCHING COCHOLATE EATING TURDS!

[Barry Cartman]

Like watching a PL team in Europe 

[westy8chimp]

Murphy really doesnt like Chadli.... Kdb puts awful ball in 'chadlis fault!!'

KdB oddly off colour, and Lukaku's not had much space to operate him,he's been trying to drop between the lines, but France really disciplined. Belgium's delivery hasn't been good. As you say Mertens is really helping
