World Cup

A sport which I truly achieve at every weekend. 😎

Excellent Smithers!!!

We also win the special "Didn't make the worst title defence EVER" cup. Mind you, 31 nations get that.

Anyway, what the hell is up with Portugal? Hardly a good showing from the team with the nominal best player in the world.

just as well, I don't have much left for the portugese players behaviour.

I just LOVE group D!
South Korea and USA, not bad huh?
From what I saw in the first half, South Korea deserved it

oh Germany killer punch at the very end

it was a very boring game!
I hope Denmark-England is a better game!

well 3-0 for england...now you'll meet belgium or more likely brazil, and loose 😄

ofcourse it will be Brazil! Heck! Belgium didn't deserve the second round!!

they played very good football against russia, but brazil will win yes

you want the title "funny one"?

they did and you should know it if you saw the match!

I did saw it and I say we will loose 3-0 monday! We don't have a defence! well... we do... but it stayed home

Yeah right, yerss, and that is why you haven't lost a match all tournament, yeah?

The Belgian team is being unfairly knocked by at home.

you're right, we haven't lost a game so far... only won one 🙄 ...

If you see how we played against Japan (with that penalty!) and the great tactical knowledge we used for Tunesia...

In Belgium there's a BIG discussion going on between Flanders and Wallonia, they claim Waseige makes his playerchoices to keep the Dutch-French speaking people in balance.

Take Van Buyten... dude is AUWFULL, slow, can't keep a guy with him, can't deliver a proper pass and he STILL plays! Same for Van Meir! Even my grandmother is faster then him!

And all these moaning complaints seem pitifully feeble about a side which has progressed to the last 16, something which would bring accolades to any coach in a country with people with any bloody gratitude, in a time when France, Argentina and Portugal could not even do it.

That poor side has worked its socks off to get where they are and criticism is all they get back. If you ask me the players and coach deserve more but the 'supporters' do not.

Argentina was in group F with England, Nigeria and Sweden.
France was too selfconfident against Senegal, Uruguay and Denmark.

Belgium on the otherhand had: Japan, Tunesia and Russia...

you're right! with those adversaries we are extremely happy we didn't loose against one of those! 🙄

What the heck is wrong with you? Tunisia is the only team there rated lower than Belgium. Japan is rated equally but were expected to go through as hosts. Your team BEAT the odds! And still you moan!

The idea of WINNING against a weaker team is that you DON'T play with two defending midfielders NOR with slow defenders, if they DID won either against Japan or Tunesia, we would have been groupwinner and then we could have played against Turkey were we had more of a chance to win

But as it is, you didn't, but you still qualified, which is far more than your team was expected to be able to do against that opposotion.

It might be easy for you to blame defeats on technically weaker opponents on bad tactics but the fact is that even the best tactics do not always work; there was nothing wrong with the tactical set-ups of nearly every major team eliminated so far.

As I suspect Waseige is rather better qualified for the job than YOU are, and as he has steered his team through as underdogs to get through to round two, I am willing to say that his tactics appear fine to me.
