Euro: Group E: Belgium vs. Slovakia

[Live in the Now]

I'm taken aback by how much of this Slovakia team is basically 'the same old team' and this same old team didn't do so great three years ago. Not sure what would be different now.

Hard to know. They lost two close matches to Portugal but have barely played against other top nations.

 

[Jussi]

Another blow-out or Belgium being Belgium?

 

[gary69]

Carrasco still starts at left back, don't they have any new guys natural to that position.

 

[gary69]

Lukaku begins his match with missing a good chance, similar match than CL final with Inter incoming?

Yes we do. Maxim De Cuyper from Club Brugge who is a really good prospect, but he's on the bench

 

[Jussi]

Belgium being Belgium it is then.

 

[OKR]

Can’t stand Lukaku’s body language, would hate to play with him ngl.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Belgium certainly have had the better of the first few minutes, but then ehhh well that's unfortunate.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Awesome

Balotelli-like sometimes.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Oh god I guess we do have TSN commentators rather than getting a UK feed...

Gonna be a long 90, commentary in a Canadian accent just doesn't sound right

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Courtois laughs

It's basic stuff not to make dangerous passes like that into middle inside your own box.

Lot's of modern players just refuse to put the ball out of bounds under pressure. Maybe they've been instructed by the managers not to do so, but it's still a stupid choice,

 

[JPBolts]

I swear every time I watch Wout Faes, he’s making a mistake costing a goal

Statistically likely, given that he reeks

This Belgium team is so uninspiring.

I think it's dumb players misunderstanding managerial instructions. I think every manager today prefers a defender passing the ball from the back to them just hoofing it upfield, but the entire point of that is control. If you can't play a controlled high % pass, a bad hoof is preferable to a bad pass.

It was embarrassing when commentators called him De Broon in 2014

In 2024 it's totally inexplicable

Shocked when I saw their squad he was there. Guess the golden generation is truly done.

I don't think North American commentators make any effort at pronouncing names right. According to Landon Donovan, Germany's midfield is marshaled by Tony Crews.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

inexplicable from Trossard. Man was wide open

Yeah that was rough...He scores that if it's the 65th minute and he is right off the bench as a super sub though

 

[The Moose]

I guess this game will be a one way street from here on end.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Trossard off the bench is a cheat code.
