We all know the rankings are a joke anyway. But even “on paper” Belgium aren’t that great. KDB is the only potentially world class player and he doesn’t get you goals.

Il admit they've looked much better second half , but I don't think they are the world's best

His stats since leaving Chelsea suggest he might be world class.

Belgium defence looks a bit soft.
The back ups Boyata and Denayer are a real down grade on the first choice pairing

De Bruyne's made all the difference since he came on. Not a surprise really.

why would you dive in these days with var? Never going to get a penalty even if you fool the ref

I can only think he went down expecting the contact to come but the defender pulled out of the tackle.

The best kind of manager leaves him in.

Denmark are a decent side. Would be a shame if they go out

It's possible Belgium thump Finland and a win against Russia gets them a third place finish.

Denmark have been really good in this game. Over the 90 the better side. Undone by a couple of superbly crafted goals from Belgium. Considering the danish emotions in second half v Finland and today they have done their country proud even if they go out.

That's a harsh result on Denmark, they were the better side for most of that. Unfortunately when your opponent has a player like De Bruyne in the bench, you need more than one goal. A shame they couldn't take another of their chances.

Clearly shook against Finland, that display just now shows it.

Should there have been a free kick given for the dive

Unfortunate. Dumfries foot was exactly where Alaba was always going to put his foot. Pen all the same.

Use of VAR in this competition has been so superior to what we are used to. Are you watching Premier League?

Are they going to give a foul throw anytime soon? The Dutch right back just threw it straight down and bounced it off the floor.

Dutch pressing is great, always hunting in packs. Austria need to sit deep and hit them over the top.

I’d put Austria in the same catagory as the Swiss and Turkey all huff and puff but can’t defend or score against half decent teams.

That should be 2-0.

Why didn’t he put his laces through that? Couldn’t of sat up any better for him? Even I was licking my lips at that one, and I’m a goalkeeper

Both nice teams but not ruthless enough in my opinion.
They’re just happy to be there.

Poor game this. Austria are another nothing side. Bit like Sweden, boring as fuck watch.

That should be game over. Silly booking for the Keeper, he was miles on. If he's angry at anyone it should be his defenders.

I take it Jonathan Pearce and Jermaine Jenas won't be commentating on any more games at Wembley for a couple of weeks as they have to self isolate for 10 days after returning from Amsterdam?

Seriously, how does it work for coming to the UK from amber countries, do the footballers and anyone working as part of Euro 2020 get a free pass or something?

I think the commentary comes from a studio in London. Ally Mcoist has commentated on loads of games, but is then in the studio for talksport breakfast.
