Not getting the Belgium hate tbh. They haven't been very exciting, but they haven't actually been bad. They should beat USA fairly comfortably. I can see Switzerland beating Argentina, but much as I like them I don't want that to happen.

bedoya seems dangerous and talented but inconsistent and loses the ball a bit

I think I might chance him if he starts. Also shaqiri will score today, I can sense it.

Jones and Johnson are the only US players I like and that like is outweighed by my extreme dislike of Clint Dempsey so Belgium ftw.

"Extreme dislike of Dempsey" - why?
― everyday sheeple (Michael B), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 10:29 (nine years ago) link
Jones has been the best American player in the WC so far for sure
crazy how the national systems are in europe just imagining something like this in the usa for basketball http://grantland.com/features/world-cup-2014-belgian-national-team-vincent-kompany-eden-hazard-marouane-fellaini

Amazing insight from Belgium's Dries Mertens:

"I watched their games and they have a really good team. They have a great striker in front and the team behind is like a team, they are really good together.So for us it is going to be really difficult to score a goal, but we are confident and want to win this game also.I think the most important thing is to win this game, because if we don't win it we are out."

Finding it hard to be that impressed by a squad with that many Spurs players in it tbh. Though I think Chadli and Dembele have been quietly banned.

As Lacan put it, echoing Freud, the patient ‘can only refind himself by abolishing the ego’s alter ego’. Or as gangsta rappers Clipse once warned, ‘Don’t let yo’ ego trick yo’ ass.’
