Courtois is a top top keeper, mind.
They looked very tried and leggy to me.They've been awful this half, too.
I honestly thought Belgium were dreadful and though Japan played well, Belgium made them look brilliant.I don't think Belgium were great, however I feel Japan made em look shite, they were that good!
Nailed it!Agreed. Fellaini (don't like him) is allowing front 3 to run havoc. Await a huge dramatic tearfest from Neymar at final whistle(plus a few dives along the way). Only Marcelo has created imo.
Same asI tipped France to win it at the start so will stick with them, but they will have to be good to beat Belgium on that first half
Brazil would be a better team if their 'best' player played as part of the team.
Glad you are NickHappy with that result.
Entirely possible.Slightly worried Russia are going to be this World Cup's Greece.
They liked his Piano rendition of Its coming home ?I see Rio Ferdinand and Alex Scott met Putin today, giving him more credence. All over the Russian news.
There were also other players there (no idea why England had two) such as Matthias, Schmiechel and others.
Thoughts?
Can't agree I'm afraid, think you're not giving Japan enough credit for the way they tore Belgium a new one.I honestly thought Belgium were dreadful and though Japan played well, Belgium made them look brilliant.
yep. ugly but effective.Agreed. Fellaini (don't like him) is allowing front 3 to run havoc. Await a huge dramatic tearfest from Neymar at final whistle(plus a few dives along the way). Only Marcelo has created imo.
And put the record straight re Pickfords size comment. Fair playCourtois is a top top keeper, mind.
We will have to agree to disagree then, because I saw a Belgium side whose passing was very poor and they were disjointed. Japan played very well, but when Belgium had the ball their distribution was all over the place and that was when they weren't being pressed by the opposition.Can't agree I'm afraid, think you're not giving Japan enough credit for the way they tore Belgium a new one.
Tactically out thought, out fought, skillful, comfortable on the ball, just a joy to watch.
Belgium got a lucky looping headed goal, changed tactics and won the game, Martinez deserves credit for that turn around toby fayre.
I felt Japan's pressing and tackling caused the Belgians panic passing to go astray!That's not to take anything away from Japan of course, who played very well, but Belgium were well off form. Look at the difference with tonight. On Tuesday so many passes were going astray and tonight everything seemed to just click for them.
Only if you do it first.I felt Japan's pressing and tackling caused the Belgians panic passing to go astray!
Anyhow, I thought we have agreed to disagree!
