Craziness. 85.71% of World Cups I've actively watched during my lifetime. Edit... 71.42% without 06 is still remarkable.

VillaChris Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Who have Belgium got in world cup group again. 1-4 at home to Holland with Dads army backline, could be the shock early exit of world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Group F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco, Croatia they should go through but they’re at the end of the golden generation era. The defence now looks really weak with vertonghen/alderweireld still there and hazard is basically now done at a top level. They wasted their best generation of players by having a bang average manager in charge (Martinez) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Tricky group. Plenty worse 4th seeds than Canada and Morocco can take a point off Belgium if they're on it. Croatia in decline aswell probably helps Belgium get through tho. 12 month delay to euros really hurt Belgium I think and now so many of their key players are in their 30s.

sne Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Players really don't want to play this silly tournament do they. Fully get it too. The motivation going into these games must be at an all time low for a lot of them. Sweden has about 6 defenders missing and new players dropping out of the squad on a daily basis due to little niggles and injuries they were carrying from the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany vs England should be interesting Previously ze germans properly don't give a **** about this NL, England have let players go on holiday and then come back Like you say it will be who is interested the most, expecting Southgate to bore his way to 3 wins this week and the bullshit to start 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no memory of this tournament going to happen this summer up until last week and not one of my football interested buddies cares either. Might be different in other countries of course but it feels like the Intertoto Cup of nations. If it's on and I have nothing to do I'll likely watch the Sweden games but I won't watch any other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also won virtually every qualifying game he's managed. People forget that only one team can actually win a tournament and teams that dont aren't automatically bottlers or have wasted their talent. Sometimes you just lose to a better side. You can say Belgium have underachieved if you like but Martinez has done a really good job and saying otherwise is incorrect.

Yet they were the better team in both games. This isnt a game of FIFA. It isnt just about how many star players you have. What you're really saying is "England and Belgium have more famous players". Italy were the best team at Euro 2020 which is why they won it. Same with Greece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
