Week 48 That Was The Week That Was

Another goalkeeping master class display.
Where are those critics now?

The surprises kept on coming, as this time it's Brazil who were beaten
They may feel let down by VAR as people lambasted Neymar for cheatin'.
Kevin De Bruyne was outstanding, how was he not PFA Player of the Year?
It means that glory for a few non fancied teams suddenly seems quite near.
Belgium will now meet a buoyant French team who took care of  Uruguay
A Griezman goal and an assist means that French hopes are certainly high.
Jordan Pickford gave another M.O.M. display as England strode past Sweden
Pundits bending over backwards to praise him, maybe Dixon and Neville even?
Maguire was a giant in defence as well as showing he's potent from set pieces.
Whilst Kieran Trippier's consistent performances meant his stock only increases.
They now meet Croatia in the semi-final who struggled against the home nation.
Russia took them to a penalty shoot-out, but the game wasn't really a sensation.
Some have alleged Everton allowing Martinez and Lukaku to leave were so wrong
But anyone watching them go out in the semi's to France would sing a different song.
Well 'football's not coming home', but for a large part of the game it looked like it would.
Croatia had more inventiveness in midfield even though most of our 'boys done good'.
The news back home is Chelsea have sacked Conte and now a new manager they seek
We'll go through all the major transfer news when we look back at the WC Final next week.
