Day 23: Uruguay vs France and Brazil vs Belgium

Lukaku really should be Belgium's captain. Skills and more leadership abilities than Hazard.

Hope Jose gives him the armband sometime this season.
 
Rom is one of the best players on this WC. Not just a good finisher but also great work rate also can def at set pieces. KDB is special too. Along with Hazard and overall good team chemistry this can be their year Belgium. They are also more mature and experienced than on last WC
 
Give me money, I'll give you power. Give me power, I'll give you money. If you haven't got either, I don't have time for you. I am sorry.
 
Brazil, a team that believe their own hype me think.

I don't even know why they were considered favorite for this world cup. Surely it can't be because of their last 2 WC games in 2014? I had Germany, Argentina, Belgium, Spain and France all ahead of Brazil in my book.


The hypetrain is real, always.
 
Brazil lack intensity and tactical discipline here.

They completely demolished Commebol in qualifying. Friendly results were also strong.

Not been great in this WC so far and Belgium counter attacking them to death.
 
3 Belgium players pointing one way and Fellaini going the other.
 
De bruyne! What a fecking goal. Brilliant from Rom. Brazil getting shown up defensively. They had their openings but didnt take advantage while Belgium definitely have.
I'd imagine City and Spurs and Madrid have a good chunk left.

Just checked, City have 11 (though most are squad players at best). Spurs have 9 or 10 (is moussa sissoko in the French squad?).
Madrid and PSG only 5 or 6 now.

Ederson
Kompany
Fernandinho
De Bruyne
Stones
Delph
Sterling
Jesus
Walker
Mendy

Am i missing one ?
 
Belgium’s counters are so slick. They look like scoring every time they get one
 
Brasil on the ropes but this is not over by any account. They look quite dangerous on the attack. But can they avoid conceding a 3rd while chasing a goal?

What a game so far!
