I feel bad for Japan, they played well for the most part and almost pulled off a huge upset.

As for the other game...strange, it's silent from the Mexicans on social media. Maybe they're still celebrating from that win over Brazil that so many were predicting, someone check the seismometer. What a beautiful day.

We are talking about a world cup where Spain goes out against Russia. Only because Belgium is much more talented than Japan doesn't mean they had to have trashed Japan and it certainly doesn't make their last minute victory an undeserved one.

Spain created fuck all. If you don't create, you don't deserve to go through. Spain are the polar opposite to Belgium though. We play with way more depth in our game.

I still don't get what the term deserve mean in your argument. Unless you're winning and 2 torpedoes fall in the stadium causing 2 accidental own goals, you can't say a team undeservedly lost.

What?

Your first paragraph is exactly why a country would be arrogant. Are you stupid?

So a team should be arrogant so they can struggle against an inferior team? When it comes to you talking about Belgium, it's just macho talk with little to no substance.

Calling someone stupid isn't really the way to go either. Atleast you proved one of my points quite clearly.

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.

I just don't believe a team deserves to win, just because they overachieve.

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.

I didn't make it about who deserve what.
You did. You've used the word 'deserve' in your last four or five posts, consecutively.

No one is disputing the fact that Belgium won
Well. It'd be pretty damn stupid to suggest otherwise. We'll give minor credit to you there.

However they only deserved it because they actually won, not because they're the better team.
But Brazil do deserve to beat Belgium because they're the better team? Your post #8801.

You've had a few drinks haven't you? ;)

Won't be easy for Brazil. Belgium oozes quality despite their clear weaknesses.

Besides Brazil ain't that good. Who is at this World Cup?
Belgium has been "quality on paper for years now but nothing more than on paper. Brazil has been putting quality performances for the last two years but really dropped the ball once the World Cup started. So it's a hell of an unpredictable match.

Add that to the fact this WC don't give a fuck about traditional teams and like you said nobody is really that good so it's all up for grabs.

Before the tournament started I said I wouldn't be afraid to face anyone because of Brazil's quality but seeing how everybody's playing subpar football, I have no fucking clue whether it has what it takes to reach the final.

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

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