Belgian press are already going "maybe we'd better lose this one because in the next round we might have to play against..." :-/

soz about Cavaleiro, NV. But I'm totally psyched!
― calzino, Monday, 18 June 2018 14:29 (five years ago) link
this time last year i'd've said he wasn't Prem class tbh, but he dug in and contributed a lot last season, i'll miss him if he goes but it's not like he won't be replaced and he deserves regular game time wherever he ends up
― The Savic Detectives (Noodle Vague), Monday, 18 June 2018 14:33 (five years ago) link
when he's on it he totally adds excitement to the team

Armando Cooper = another one to add to ogmor's list of class footballer names
― Dark Mavis (Michael B), Monday, 18 June 2018 14:35 (five years ago) link
looks like the Cav deal has moved on from rumours to realness tho
― The Savic Detectives (Noodle Vague), Monday, 18 June 2018 14:39 (five years ago) link
Hoping Belgium will be the first team to really show it's class. It's been a classless tournament so far, at least from the big guns.

Mexico were pretty class
― Dark Mavis (Michael B), Monday, 18 June 2018 14:55 (five years ago) link
Spain and Portugal had to play one another, which must've helped them to wake up.
Too many of the major countries are doing *checks notes* though I am enjoying all I've seen because its the world cup after all.

really looking forward to this one

harold cummings is on the panama bench, is he some sort of embedded poet?

Someone said it's already the longest we've gone since '86 without a red card yet. Usually had at least one 0-0 by now too.
― nashwan, Monday, 18 June 2018 15:08 (five years ago) link
P sure this won't be 0-0 by the looks of it
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 18 June 2018 15:09 (five years ago) link
i think VAR should give yellows for schwalbes too.
― Ludo, Monday, 18 June 2018 15:10 (five years ago) link
Strong possibility this group could be decided by goal difference so I can see Belgium being relentless.

Won't need GD with 9 points

Axel Laurent Angel Lambert Witsel is, I think, an abysmal real name

OK LOL Belgium are actually playing Boyata, he'd struggle to get in the Scotland team.

Martinez looks at Boyata and sees Gary Caldwell.

The population of Belgium is only 11m, idk if Panama having 4m is a stat that bears constant repetition.

“They scored 43 goals in qualifying - against better opposition than Panama”
They scored eight in one game against Estonia and fifteen across two legs vs Gibraltar ffs.

No easy games in world football.

tbf Gibraltar have been unlucky to have missed out on playing in the World Cup finals.
