OftenWrong Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 Glad you are enjoying the games. Two things to note: - Belgium has the most goals in the world cup. - Belgium already defeated England in the earlier rounds. I suggest our forum friend might need to go drown his sorrows some more. Quote

CITIZEN_2015 Posted July 14, 2018 Author Report Posted July 14, 2018 England 0 Belgium 2 England defeated again but they become number 4. They didn't deserve to be even among the top 8 if it wasn't for pure luck playing against weak teams. Quote
kactus Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 Agreed! Very poor performance by English squad. Disappointing when you consider how much each of these players get paid.... What a waste of money! Quote
OftenWrong Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 What a pity. I guess we know who's getting a beating tonight... Quote

It's a game no-one wants to play. Of course, I would always rather win than lose but my heart rate never changed during this game. I would have had an experienced emergency room doctor checking her manuals during the Croatia game. Edited July 14, 2018 by bcsapper Quote

-TSS- Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 I'm glad that North-America got the 2026 tournament but I still think the new tournament-format with expansion to 48 teams ruins the competition. Doubtlessly most of the crucial knock-out matches will be played in the USA and Mexico so therefore Canada can claim to host most of the earlier matches. Quote

OftenWrong Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 Wow, these things just don't happen in the NHL. Quote
SpankyMcFarland Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 Belgium are fun to watch: all the basic skills plus speed on the break and a squad full of goal scorers. Their full backs Meunier and Chadli could play in any position and De Bruyne is the best passer in football. England were outclassed today. Quote
SpankyMcFarland Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 I think it’s time for the UK to field one team like all the other countries of the world. There are usually two or three decent players from the Celtic fringe who could make a difference. At the moment, only Bale comes to mind. Quote

The Scottish and the Welsh would never allow any English players on their teams, regardless of the name. Agreed about Belgium. We don't have a midfielder right now that comes close to De Bruyne or Hazard. Quote

It must be a downer to play in that game but they kept their foot down and showed us their skills. Edited July 15, 2018 by SpankyMcFarland Quote

Guest Posted July 15, 2018 Report Posted July 15, 2018 Hopefully they show this kind of coordination during the final. Come on Croatia! (based solely on the fact that France have already won one) https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/07/14/sky-high-gallic-pride-takes-knock-french-air-force-bastille/ Quote

If Yugoslavia were still a single team they would be really good on paper but they would need Tito as their manager to stop the players from killing each other. Quote
