Two really odd systems.

No way you can say Belgium is a 'classic' 4-3-3 when you use your eyes and look at where their players are. Chadli is playing super high, Vertonghen is barely crossing halfway and playing more like a left central defender in a three. Hazard is floating around as left wing back but isn't really sticking to it

Edit: now I see 4-3-3. They change completely with the ball

No different to how Alves and Abidal played for Barcelona or to a lesser degree Brown and Evra for Utd in about 2008 and I don't think anyone would say it wasn't a 4-3-3.

Fair point about offense, but I wrote it when France had the ball and they clearly defend with 4 at the back.

And as you said, it's typical formation with one offensive fullback and the other one not going forward at all.

Hazard spreads it on the left, KdB goes towards the middle.

**** playing Belgium in the final they look so good, really hoping France can edge this as Belgium will annihilate us as and we'd have a chance Vs France who don't have the most consistent performers.

It'd basically be the equivalent of two select Prem teams playing each other with Belgium Vs England however Martinez was given £3 billion to spend compared to Southgate's £500m :thdn:

That's basically why I said I'd prefer playing France over Belgium in the Final. I could see the Belgians ripping England to pieces on Sunday if we went through, whereas I can't see France doing that. A France-England Final would probably be very tense at both ends.

Jonathan Pearce is getting on my nerves. 

All of a sudden Hernandez's first name doesn't have the 'S' in 'Lucas' anymore and it's now 'Pavar' he doesn't bother with the 'D' anymore. 

He hasn't done this before this game, idiot. 

Steve Wilson is tonight's commentator.
