Day 19: Brazil vs Mexico and Belgium vs Japan

[AshRK]

Hazard will be the downfall for this belgium side. Too selfish and glory hunting guy.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Somehow Japan back in the game.

 

[Drawfull]

Was it Courtois fecking De Bruyne’s girl or vice versa?

Assumed it was a load of bollocks. Who knew.

 

[Toad]

Sign Mertens

Was thinking the same thing. He’s 31, thought he was about 28

 

[Hamnat]

Attacking in the final third is the only thing missing here both sides.

 

[KirkDuyt]

That is correct. She claimed it was revenge for DeBruyne sleeping with her best friend.

Really?

Would’ve gone for Rom or Felaini to get revenge tbh. Not a sesame street looking twat like Courtois.

 

[Sandyman]

Assumed it was a load of bollocks. Who knew.

I think it was after KDB and his girl friend had split up.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Hate to be the one to say it but the Japanese players look so frail by comparison. They look like what footballers looked like in the 70s and 80s (like normal humans)

They are good and tidy on the ball though. Just not genetically gifted with height.

 

[Carolina Red]

Looks pretty lopsided to me. Japan looks incapable of moving the ball past midfield. Belgium hasn't scored yet because they've showed zero quality in the final third.

At least Belgium are trying to penetrate and score, unlike the Spanish yesterday -- one of the most disgraceful, boring WC displays I've ever had the displeasure of watching.

I’ll agree there, the tide is definitely starting to favor Belgium now.

 

[Kostur]

Carrasco is shit.

 

[Drawfull]

Really?

He looks like a goat's-cheese-free Djokovic.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Class from Hazard.

 

[Hansa]

Hate to be the one to say it but the Japanese players look so frail by comparison. They look like what footballers looked like in the 70s and 80s (like normal humans)

The words that pop up in my head are "Konami" and "ISS Pro". They look like clones of the mid-90s game.

 

[Sandyman]

Well, maybe she was comfortable knowing she was in safe hands

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

I don't understand why Japanese bleach their hair. It look like toilet brush.

 

[Nick7]

Belgium are going back post for the header back in every single time. They're winning every header but Japan are defending the second ball well.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

I didn't mean height. Actually they are tall enough, I meant they look lighter. Less dense, less like 'athletes' - do I make any sense?

Yeah more like a stronger lower base.

 

[Hansa]

Shirt color has something to do with it. Dark is always slimming.

 

[SCP]

I'd rather just take a look at this thread and make no comments, but it's incredible all this grudge against this Brazilian side. That's OK if you don't like how Brazil has been playing (although I'm very satisfied with their performances in the last two games) or even dislike Neymar's personality and diving (believe me... he's far from being beloved here) but trying to lump all the players with his actions doesn't make any sense.

By the way, let's see if Belgium will receive all this feeling of hatred in case they don't fulfill anyone's expectations against a team better prepared than Panamá and Tunisia like this Japanese side.

They won't. They are the typical EPL hypster boys choice. Even Flamengo with Vinicius would beat them.

 

[Drawfull]

I don't understand why Japanese bleach their hair. It look like toilet brush.

Trying to confuse Belgium when they bring Fellaini on.

[DomesticTadpole]

You need eyes in the back of your head with this Belgium side as you never know who exactly is going to appear in the box.

Having recently spent a month in Japan it is definitely genetic.

 

[Dante]

Eels are well known for their dribbling and crossing ability.

 

[The Firestarter]

This looks like Spain - Russia but on fast forward.

 

[Dante]

Narrow shouldered.

 

[RoadTrip]

Lol what is Courtois doing

 

[Drawfull]

Ufffff

 

[The Firestarter]

Dafak

 

[Hansa]

What a goal that would have been

 

[Sandyman]

Holy shit Courtios

 

[BusbyMalone]

 

[KirkDuyt]

Wow close there

 

[DomesticTadpole]

What a missed opportunity. Courtois.

 

[Oldyella]

Hazard will be the downfall for this belgium side. Too selfish and glory hunting guy.

Must be infuriating to play alongside.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Courtois

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Courtois.

 

[Nick7]

Omg

 

[Jazz]

Shame that didn't go in

 

[KirkDuyt]

Holy shit Courtious

Safe hands eh?
