World Cup 2018 LIVE thread (18 Viewers)

You're asking why a country that has never won a world cup is arrogant, when the paragraph before you speak of superior quality. Every country that would have our team would be arrogant, dude. That's just how it is.

Well I think that's where our views differ then. As I see no need for arrogance when you're actually talented. Healthy self-believe without the priggish attitude is different of course.

Why do you attract such trolling, Klin?

I'm not sure if he's trolling me instead.

Not sure who's the troll in this one.

You're the one who started the trolling.

I find it insane that we somehow didn't deserve to win. Japan played brilliantly, were very well organized and scored two good goals.

But tbh I think our two last goals were absolute quality, we didn't lose faith and we did have more chances.

That non-existent Asian Football almost sent your team packing.

Hm. I would say that much of the Belgian attitude is misunderstood abroad though. Pretty much 90% of what people say here is only half serious. Belgians rarely say something without subtext.

The players are a lot like that too. Hazard definitely has that when he gives interviews, but so do many others. It makes us sound more arrogant than we are.

They had more chances bro. And did you see how long it took Honda to take that free kick in the final minutes?

I never said it was non existent. In fact I've always respected Japan. They are very often a tough team to beat.

Klin never trolls. But for some reason trolls follow him everywhere

Oh. You don't think players think about such stuff. Okay. I didn't realise you haven't been following the game that long.

yes you did

 

[Seven]

yes you did

Oh lol. I meant national leagues and the federation as a whole though. Japan have consistently churned out decent performances.

Wow, you're definitely not the brightest one. Lesson learned for next time.

I could have told you that.

I don't mind the aorrogance part. It's who you are and that's fine for me. We're simply not agreeing on the term deserve as it's very subjective especially in football. With your definition, I wouldn't say Juve deserved to win against Spurs (hah, motherfucker), however I also wouldn't say Spurs undeservedly lost.

Yes. And that would be a completely correct statement to make.

It's not about arrogance btw. This Belgian team has fundamental flaws. Everyone can see that.

Btw, you sound very serious tonight. Had a good day?

 

[CrimsonianKing]

Brazil played well today. And France played well against Argentina. It's probably between you guys.

Verstuurd vanaf mijn ONEPLUS A6003 met Tapatalk

They played ok, there were glimpses of improvement. Brazil was a much better team before the WC/with a pre-injury Neymar and with Marcelo/Alves. It's a world of difference when you don't have the two best fullbacks in the world in the team.

Regarding France, I said it from the beginning... I didn't want to face them at all. If it comes to that I'll be shitting bricks.

Got you. I'm not really even that bothered about what the footballers say when interviewed.

I just thought that their mentality was completely off for this match. They approached the game like it was a friendly. Once they added some urgency and physicality to their play their talent shone through. Talent without the right attitude rarely counts for much. This might have been a good wakeup call though because they certainly have the talent to go far.

Yep. The approach was definitely wrong. And the odd thing about it is that everyone was warning the team to not be so casual about it.

Btw, Fellaini is an absolute beast when it comes to winning mentality. He's often laughed at, but it's no coincidence he scored the equalizer.
