GWT: World Cup - Group F (Morocco and Croatia Advance)

[TheMoreYouKnow]

This is what Canada *should* have done to Belgium.

Big tourney for the muslim NTs so far.

 

[Playmaker09]

This is less good

 

[Blender]

Roberto Martinez is the actual bald fraud.

 

[cgf]

Definitely not good for the GD, but god the hubris of Belgium fans, they're f-ing lucky they don't have 0 points, most overrated team in Europe.

Que? Hubris is not something I would ever criticize Savi for

That's my, evilo, les habs, and the EPL fans' schtick!

 

[sansabri]

LOL Morocco wants more

Speaking in general, who's Savi?

What a play and effort by Ziyech. That squad have been f***ing heroes so far.

 

[Evilo]

He scored 15 goals last season. I think you let personal bias influence your views. I don't even like him (I thought he was whiny and selfish when in Germany), but I don't think Pep Guardiola keeps playing a guy in a key position on a team with ridiculous depth which could purchase a replacement in any given window unless that guy has something of high quality to offer.

Which personnal bias?
Over the last two seasons (so excluding the current one), Kdb scored 42 (21+21) in 55 games. During that time, his team scored 182 goals. 23%.

He was, as I said, much better in the previous season (33 of his team's 102).

Everytime I hear "second ranked in the world" I laugh. Everyone who half-way pays attention knows the fifa rankings stink.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

We clearly need more European teams

This board's (very knowledgeable) resident belgian fan.

I am struggling watching games because I have new puppy. Not even 48 hours and this little guy is a biter.

Even dead tired, I can see Belgium isn't a 2nd ranked team in the world.

OMG that Canada fan on this TSN stream, I'm dying here

You have my sympathies *hug*

 

[sansabri]

Thanks. I had a Siberian Husky for 13 years. I didn't think I was going to do it all over again. I got suckered by his cuteness. Even my husky wasn't a biter.

Your formula basically penalizes him for the team he plays on being better, which you know could be in part driven by his play, with him, you know, being the playmaker of said team. That's the kind of fake logic used to diminish stats of Gretzky lol.

 

[Juve]

Name him Suarez.

You're probably right. Lol!!!!!

Same thing as always with Belgium, what are they even trying to do? No obvious strategy, the shape is a mess, players seem to just run wherever or just stand still when they don't feel like it, etc. Looks like a collection of good players got together to play a fun game in the park.

I know you mean to say the puppy bites, but this evokes an image of the puppy sitting there going "You know, I could have been someone if I hadn't been held back by the incompetence of others. Instead, my whole life is just a story of one disappointment after another."

Excessive cuteness should always be a redflag; it's my main weapon in life...

But damn, siberian husky? You don't f*** around lol

Belgium is back on its way where it was 15-20 years ago ie a middle ranked in Europe losing to countries such as Finland.

They've been trying to be a knockoff version of Jogi's germany, and they've done a fantastic job of it!

Doubtful. Their youthwork is still strong, Martinez...like Jogi...is just too lazy to start integrating a whole new generation.

Lol. I haven't slept properly in 48 hours. Please excuse me. I was hoping by showing a Belgian Malinos a Belgium game would help him. It didn't! He started biting me even more.

I get suckered.....

Oh yeah. He was a drama queen, stubborn, hard headed, and not obedient. We loved him. There was never a dull moment with him. A larger than life personality.
