loopdokter I think we’re going to come out firing full tilt to try and get an early goal. Belgium are aging and we’re probably one of the quickest sides overall at the World Cup

Yeah. I think your problem might be actually getting a hold of the ball. Belgium will look to starve Canada of possession and win it back high up the pitch.

But i do agree with you that Canada are something of an unknown force here, with some dangerous players, and they could definitely surprise Belgium who are not superhuman. I’d be a little nervous if I was Belgian, and not because of what I had in my basement.

    Everyone banging on about how good England were,best players etc.No mention of Saka? Best player in the game? Hope he comes back to Goonerland in one piece.

      They must have Astrill’s IPs blacklisted I reckon.

        Some right good meaty challenges in the Argie game 😂

        Best entertainment of this game is gonna be a punch-up between Keane and Souness in the studio.

        Me!

        But I needn’t remind anyone they lost to Cameroon in the opener in ’90 and still reached the final.

            No one seems to be talking about us letting in 2 goals from a shit team.

                I was, though not on here. A decent team will totally exploit the Pickford-Maguire-Stones shambles.

                  The second goal - the penalty - was simply a gift from sympathetic officials.

                  Their striker is also their one quality player - 6 goals in 13 games in Portugal, 5 goals in 5 games the Champions League this season. He showed that with his cracking finish from a difficult angle for the other goal.

                    I think you’re forgetting the magnitude of the shock at the time. Absolutely equivalent to this as I recall.

                      Saudi’s second goal was a bobby dazzler.
