    Basically: is this a private riot, or can anyone join in?

    We need to make that USA-Aussie matchup happen somehow.

    As shit as Portugal were today, I'm really dumbfounded how many football ignoramuses there are out there who'd parrot that they're a "one-man team". There were sub-par performances across the board -- it wasn't just Ronaldo and a typical performance of his amateur teammates.

    And it's not just that Pepe and Coentrao (now both gone next match) also won the CL last month. But they seem clueless to recall that Portugal entered and qualified for the last WC with Ronaldo on an 18-month scoring drought for his NT.

    There are fake footie pundits everywhere...

    How on form is Belgium would you say? I caught part of your match against Tunisia and wasn't impressed.

    Tunesia wasnt a good benchmark. Players who know they kinda have their place were holding back.
    Januzaj was very lively tho. The team is in good mood, training has been very sharp so far. But this is a very young team. We'll have to see how they do in the first game.

    Algeria shouldnt be a problem tbh. We'll win that. Question is how we will play. The answer to that question can give a good indication on how Belgium will perform later on.

    Even England and Italy have more class than Ghana. That team is just disgusting and not even that good.

    I don't think we will beat Portugal but sneaking a draw would be nice. Going to be the most difficult match we have experienced considering they are on a blood hunt.

    Wonder which team Greg will support.

    That game will be awesome. I'm just glad we started off on the right foot and will have more motivation to win the two upcoming matches.

    Oh you bet Argentinians take it seriously. To them the Falklands or Malvinas as they call it is theirs. Also they were robbed in 66' (And this is coming from someone who hates them) when the referee sent their player off for no reason, stating he was using bad words when the referee in fact didn't speak Spanish. There was a whole controversy about how the English and the German had a plot against them.

    Argentina got their revenge in 86' with that Maradona hand goal. But mostly it is because of the Falklands war.

    What is a Bulgium? Is that like a fictitious country where Bulgaria merged with Belgium? :shifty: :p

    @ALC @swag @King of Kings Congrats guys. Good game, even if the Ghanaians were naive and lacked focus in key moments.

    Portugal were so disappointing. Im sorry for you Swag. The Germans were cynical and clinical, but hardly that impressive. Pepe is a fucking idiot, and a major liability. Nigeria and Iran managed to conjure up a snooze fest for the ages. Two shite teams that should just pack up and go home now.
