skintsaint Posted 23 November, 2022 Share Posted 23 November, 2022 That pen is a bit suss. German bloke looked to have dived then as he got up the keepers knee hit him. Surely a foul for the dive first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 23 November, 2022 Share Posted 23 November, 2022 Germany complacent, making subs early as if they were coasting, Gundogan and Muller came off and Japan took the initiative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 23 November, 2022 Share Posted 23 November, 2022 Don't know why the Germans are getting all carried away with rainbows and gestures like them lot are the moral compass.

Play like that against the Spanish and it’ll certainly Costya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be more of this in future with the World Cup expanding to 48 teams in 2026. Having 16 groups of 3 teams is going to be a bit shit as well. There will no doubt be a few teams turning up, getting thrashed twice and going home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 23 November, 2022 Share Posted 23 November, 2022 There's a lot of talk about our 'golden generation' of the mid 00's, but you have to say Belgium are totally wasting the chance they should have with theirs. Should have won something by now with the group they have imo. Lukaku, De Bryune, Hazard, Toby, Cortouis, Vertonghen, Kompany, Carrasco etc. Top players at their prime who'd have walked into any team in world football.

CB Fry Posted 23 November, 2022 Share Posted 23 November, 2022 (edited) OK I don't have anything clever to say but this Canada game is mad. Canada are simultaneously not particularly good and absolutely all over Belgium. The opening rounds are always the best bit.

jawillwill Posted 23 November, 2022 Share Posted 23 November, 2022 Canada look the nuts, but they'll almost certainly tire in the 2nd half. I'm predicting 3-1 to Belgium (with Canada scoring first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
