Same guys, but very different approach. Last time around they all went and hit the ball decisively. Those were some terrible penalties today - lots of stutter steps and hesitation.It was the same guys in the same order as Monday. Worked out once at least.
Makes me wonder if the coaches thought that Unai Simon was exploitable that waySame guys, but very different approach. Last time around they all went and hit the ball decisively. Those were some terrible penalties today - lots of stutter steps and hesitation.
do all of you guys have me pinked? I mentioned KDB an hour ago LOLBelgium line-up out
Courtois
Alderwiereld--Vertonghen (c)--Vermaelen
Munier--Witsel--Tielemans--Hazard
DeBruyne---------------------Doku
Lukaku
I don't love KDB back in to start unless they're sure he isn't going to get re-injured. You base your gameplan around your starters, and losing him blows things up (see Second Half, Portugal). I'd rather he is held in reserve if needed.
Love Doku in though...I think Belgium needs to play the same pragmatic low block they did v. Portugal to protect the CB, and try to hit on the counter, Doku's speed and creativity could really come in handy. This is Big Rom's game though if Belgium is to win.
Nice. What a finish by Barella.Vargas inconsolable
He wasn't injured, he was immobileKarma would have disallowed that goal for the "injured" player in an offside position.
*rimshot*He wasn't injured, he was immobile
and yet you root for Italy . . .*rimshot*
It's what I hate about soccer. I was writhing on the ground as if he got shot in the calf. Then Italy scores and he bounces up and joins the celebration.
Just frigging stop diving please. All of you. Just play the damned game.

Italy is definitely the only team that does it. Excellent point.and yet you root for Italy . . .
Yeah, well, I'm Italian.and yet you root for Italy . . .
Imagine watching that goal and focusing on the guy on the ground and not, you know, the incredible technique on display.
No worries, just ribbing and they fact that they invented and perfected the art form, like Fellini perfected neorealism.Yeah, well, I'm Italian.
And it's not like other teams don't do it. My god. It's all over the world.
