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.
Martinez just sucks like awful. One of the worst out there.


Pretty sure I heard tsn commentators call Croatia a weak team smh

Lol. I haven't slept properly in 48 hours. Please excuse me. I was hoping 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 drama queen, stubborn hard headed, stubborn and not obedient. We loved him. There was never a dull moment with him. A larger than life personality.

Oh, so you had a Koda too. :laugh:

My friend's was the same way. She had to wear her running gear anytime she took him out the front door because that beast would just bolt and drag whoever was on the other end of the leash, behind him lol.

...jerk also destroyed my favorite fuzzy slippers when we closed the door for too long and he got too jealous :laugh:

Oh yeah. He was fast and he pulled. One time, I hit my shoulder into a pole because he pulled. He was a beast physically, even in his old age he could have outrun younger dogs.

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.
I JUST compared his previous two seasons with the season before?????

It is a perfectly valid metric.
Some guys out there count for 50% of his team's goals, being target as the guy to be stopped in order to stop the whole machine.
When KdB counts for more than 30% of his team's goals and is voted outside the top 10 of the Ballon d'Or, while putting 23% and getting voted 3rd, there is a big problem.

Frankly I'm more interested rn in seeing Canada score its first ever goal at the WC. Even if we finish 0-3 with each game ending 1-0 the fact we didn't end that goal drought will be what bothers me the most

Agreed, I'm just hoping they score and hold their own in each of the matches. Results would be gravy.

Very unimpressed by Belgium. I genuinely have no idea how they are ranked so high by fifa. Courtois, De Bruyne, and Lukaku are the only impressive players. The rest are over the hill vets, wonder kids who never panned out, or guys who just shouldn’t be there. Their manager is absolute garbage. Actually that might be a compliment to him because a trash can and letting the players figure it out would probably be better.
