So far Belgium have Brazil's number. They are going to have to change big time to get something out of this.
Day 23: Uruguay vs France and Brazil vs Belgium
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Fernandinho is having a shit game. Would.like to see fred given some chance
The bashing against Brazil is way OTT in here. They let in one own goal from a corner and one brilliant counter, while creating more than enough to score two of their own against one of the best teams in the world, and somehow that shows that they are the most overrated team in the tournament..
KDB, Lukaku and Hazard are linking up so well upfront it's joy to watch.
Neymar shat his pants when he saw Fellaini there 
"If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there."

Given that he's playing on the same side as Marcelo, Coutinho and Neymar, Fellaini is doing great job thus far.

Hazard-----de Bruyne-----Salah

Just Imagine
Matic in there too. Crazy to think.
It's like being man marked by the creature from the black lagoon.Neymar shat his pants when he saw Fellaini there
Feck it .Neymar is annoying .
Hope Belgium crush them now .

Funny you should say that. I was just saying how I find it baffling that Kompany isn't the captain, I know his injury record is poor but he's for sure one of the greatest leaders the Premier League has seen.
Lad, it’s Neymar.The bashing against Brazil is way OTT in here. They let in one own goal from a corner and one brilliant counter while creating more than enough to score two of their own against one of the best teams in the world, yet somehow that shows that they are the most overrated team in the tournament..
Fella is playing well. If he is good for first 11 in this super stron team then...
Fellaini has been doing a very good job.
Wish Jonathan Pearce would stop blowing smoke up Neymar's backside.
Wouldn’t bother me one bit.
Finally met nis match .Neymar shat his pants when he saw Fellaini there
Neymar
You can't be serious. I mean, he's been good. But Hazard has just been incredible. KDB really great too. Even Fellaini has been more impressive. Look at Coutinho, we haven't even seen him!
Luka has had a couple of terrible sideways passes too. Could have been dangerous
I thought that should have been a penalty.
Kaku is balling
If Neymar is a 200m player and wants to be the best in the world the second half is massive for him
Brazil are missing Casemiro badly.
Time to pull out this gem of a post from earlier on in the World Cup:
He's been absolutely imperious so far. Brazil can't handle him at all.

Mertens really was pointless.
Hazard plays like he's moved by a PES controller.
Neymar has just never looked match fit in this world cup. Looks like a nothing player for large parts of the game.
Still has individual brilliance though, so don't bet against him.
Had a case for a penalty there. Hands all over him
Nah, De Bruyne and Hazard are on another level.
They'll need to bring a more attack minded midfielder to help Willian down the left. He's too isolated with Coutinho only veering left and the right back being nowhere near as adventurous down the right as Marcelo on the left.
Playing both Paulinho and Fernandinho when chasing 2-3 goals is too negative.
Best half of the tournament so far.
It’s like Rio likes to say: it’s horrible to play against Fellaini.Neymar shat his pants when he saw Fellaini there
Witsel and Fellaini are giving to all there defensively.
Most impressed I've been so far by anyone yet, this Belgium side.
Both Fellaini and Lukaku have great game here, FRA-BEL will be good
Great game, maybe the best so far.
Credit to Martinez.
Belgium looking very very good indeed - surely strong favourites to win the tournament if they get through this match.
If he went down then. After that he dived
That was a superb performance all across the pitch from Belgium. Helps that Rom, Hazard and KDB have brought their A-games.
